Started to work on another NSX.


While waiting for the penetrating oil to work into the bolts & nuts at the rear end, started to remove the interior panels and front end parts for the preparation.


This is for

  • the cracking noise from OEM Audio Head Unit (Bose AMPs already refurbished)


  • the installation of iPod adaptor USA Spec PA11-HON


  • cleaning of the Cabin temperature sensor


  • the removal of original ABS controller for the Upgrade to the latest ABS spec.


Obviously, I need to eject all of the CD discs before loosing the power to the CD changer.




As expected, the cabin temperature sensor was full of dust....


This is the air quality that you are breathing while inside your NSX if you don't attach DIY air filter at the blower motor....





Inside the OEM Audio Head Unit.


Even before removing the capacitor, we can see the leakage from it....


Looks like I need to rebuild this circuit track.


If you refurbished all of your Bose Speaker AMPs and still getting the cracking noise, then this is very likely to be what is happening inside your head unit.




Removed the capacitor and ...

Ah....


In fact, there were other areas with damaged circuit tracks so looks like I'm going to spend some time with this head unit ...


As our NSX is getting older, more and more head units are showing the same issues.


The problem is, until the leakage is severe enough, you won't notice the damage and the head unit will keep operating as if without any issues.


You may be able to catch the first sign of issue when you notice the very faint hissing noise but it's so quiet that you may not be able to hear it ...


More to follow.
