2004 C240 Wagon - Radio No sound (Amplifier location?)




I read several posts on W203 Sedans with this issue and it sound like the Radio Amplifier is located in the sedan trunk and fairly easy to replace if you can find a used unit on ebay.
Can anyone help me locate the radio amplifier in a w203 4matic WAGON? I checked the rear side compartments and dont think I saw it but i honestly dont know what the partn looks like.
Thanks j








Super helpful thanks Kevin!
I found the amp location and am trying to figure out how to remove the stock Bose amp which has several connectors and fasteners holding it in....

The amplifier comes out with the whole plastic woofer box that says Bose on the side. Once out then you can separate the amp from the sub.
On the wagons there's a sefect where the rear window seal leak and drips water on the amplifier. That's how mine failed and a couple more I found in the JY. Rust in the amplifier. See that bundle of wires on top of the amplifier. Unplug that and you'll find corrosion.
