2006 x5 stereo no audio.

1st post!

Non DSP standard MID setup with CD.

Engine oil was at some time stored in the compartment in the left rear (directly above the amp). And some of that oil made it's way onto the connector for the amplifier.

I cleaned the amp connector pin by pin, & cleaned with alcohol soak.

Still no audio. I do hear a very faint pop when I turn on the radio that makes me think the amp is turning on. I checked power, ground, remote turn on are all OK.

The MID does not have analog outputs. But the amp has analog inputs. What component makes that conversion? Where is it located? I think that may be faulty. I do have an o-scope so I will verify analog input signal is reaching the amp.

Thanks.
