2011 Liberty GT wagon, verify auto electrician claim
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:47 pm
Hi all, hoping someone is willing help educate me a bit.
I have a 2011 Liberty GT premium wagon, long story short sunroof was leaking, water made its way into floor and caused some electrical faults (battery draining, no rear view camera, mcintosh stereo stopped functioning).
Took it to auto elec who has been pretty hopeless, after 3 months he's told me the amplifier under the passenger seat has water damage and needs to be replaced, cost for the part is $800 used, or $1500 new from Subaru (parts only).
If anyone can shed some light on the situation I'd really appreciate it. I don't have much knowledge on the subject, just don't want to get ripped off, wasn't aware there was an 'amplifier' under the seat, I thought the head unit powered the whole deal?
Thanks in advance
Dane
