I don't believe there *was* an OE amp. When I put the new head unit in last summer, I did all the right stuff, electrically -- used all the existing wires in the harness, soldered everything cleanly, used heat-shrink tubing to close it all in. If the radio is toast, wouldn't it fail hard, rather than failing intermittently? How would I test (aside from just getting a new one?)

Thanks,
Dan
