HELP!
1995 Maxima with Bose system went out (controls still work, display is fine) so I pulled out the stereo and tested it on another. It works fine. Since there is no single amp in this car, it must be the relay. I looked in the service manual and it says that it is somewhere in the front control panel area but for the life of me I cannot find it. I tried following the wires but still no luck.

Can anyone tell me where the amp relay is and how to get it out?

THANK YOU!

Audio amp relay is in the center console accessible via the passenger footwell, per the `97 FSM page EL-306.

My FSM for 95 has a very lame picture that places it in about the same place you describe, but I have torn apart that whole area and see nothing that could be a relay. There is a big black metal box at the bottom of the counsel--could it be under that? Or under the gear shifter? Those are two places I haven't looked?
Thanks.

Yeah, it could be there. I haven't actually looked for this part myself, so if you've checked the FSM, my advice isn't going to get any more helpful. Sorry.
