[V8] Bose rear amps catch fire?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Pat,

I had brought in my 200 (after I had brought it in earlier) when the parts
had arrived.  They said my car DID NOT qualify because the amp circuit
boards where the soldered in vs. the plug-in type.  :-(   Apparently, they
just unplug the old ones and plug in the new ones.

HTH

Does anyone have the specific part numbers of the Bose amplifiers that are
suspected of overheating and burning the car?  My 90V8Q was bot used and the
original owner had the "radio" dealer-replaced 2 times in 1993; his receipts
don't define "radio" or give part numbers.

I have read dozens of old posts on this and have missed this data if it was
ever written.  As I understand the problem, only the1990 and 1991 model
years could have this problem.

Thanks for your help.

Pat
