Help locating Bose Amplifier in ML320

[silman]

Hi

I hope someone a little more technical than me can help.

I have an ML320 and there is no audio just a bit of a high pitched noise.

I have confirmed that the Bose head unit is working in another vehicle so I am looking at the amp or more to the point just trying to find it.

I am assuming from the cables it is somewhere behind the dash but my attempts to remove the dash have not been very successful.

I have removed every screw I can find and whilst the dash has nearly come away it seems stuck solid at the top of the audio surround.

I have an oportunity to buy another amp and want to make sure it is the right part number before buying it.

So my questions are.

1 Am I looking in the right place?
2 If I am will I find the amp on the drivers side, passenger side or somewhere in the middle?
3 Why cant I get the last part of the dash to come off so I can see what I am doing?

As you will gather I am not overly practical but if all I need to do is replace the amp I do not really want to take a trip to main dealer.

I hope someone can help.

Kind regards to you all.

If you have digital bose (i.e bose in a W163 after the MY02 facelift with indicators in the mirrors) then, on RHD cars, its up behind the steering column on the firewall

Thanks for the replies

Its a 1999 vehicle.

Still cant get the dash off to get to the firewall.

There must be another screw keeping the dash secure.

Any other suggestions?
