How to open the middle console and check audio connectors?
Hi guys - what's the easiest way to check for the connectors on the audio head unit?
My audio went mute this afternoon on a drive, but all power and everything is still there, including the power antenna. Also, the sound from the nav lady is still there as well - which means that the speakers are fine ... I hope ... ?
When that happened, my first thought was loose connector. I recall back in the days when I worked with repair tech on the computer assembly area - loose connectors were prominent culprits on lots of issues ....
I probably need to check the fuse as well ... ? If the fuse if the issue, would the unit still power on though?
Thks!

Anyway - this morning, I was getting ready to check the head unit and the fuse - so I back the car out of the garage, took a bad CD out of position 3 on the magazine. just for kicks I turned the stereo on - and the damn thing worked.
Not complaining or anything - but I can't figure out what made it mute - all the way from Caldwell to Austin. I changed btw am/fm, cd, even tried the cassette adapter for my phone (where I stored all my mp3) - and it was still mute the whole way.
I'm happy - don't get me wrong, but confuse as heck ... ? I'm planning to trade it next year - wondering what I should write on the ad description ... ? Maybe 'temperamental audio system' .... ?
