Hello All, we purchased our 2013 Pathfinder Platinum new in Nov. 2012 and it came with the BOSE sound system. The vehicle is rarely driven, kept in the garage, and has around 14,700 miles on it. Nothing has been modified, has been serviced at the dealer, and has all recalls up to date. Occasionally, it gets hooked up to a battery tender just to keep it topped off.
Took it out for a drive recently and discovered there was no sound coming from the radio, CD, NAV, etc. Checked all the settings and they are normal. Raised the hood and checked the related fuse(s) in the box next to the battery and all were good. Next, I pulled the fuse panel cover under the dash and discovered the following:
There were two "Audio Amp" fuses (15A each) that were BLOWN!
The other "Audio" fuse (15A) was fine.
I pulled the two blown fuses and attempted to install new ones, and they blew as soon as they would come in contact with the terminals.
Any ideas why this would all of a sudden happen, and what might be causing it?
