Repair of Mitsubishi Lancer X radio, navigation and amplifier applies to the factory Mitsubishi 8701A474 amplifier (Rockford Fosgate), used in the Lancer X from 2007–2017.
Where is the amplifier and how can you identify it?
The amplifier is located under the front passenger seat, in a recess in the floor. It has three connectors, and you can read the part number from the sticker. This location exposes it to flooding – from spilled drinks or water from floor mats.
Symptoms of a faulty amplifier
Reports describe four situations:
- the radio works and changes stations, but there is no sound from the speakers,
- the battery goes flat while parked because the amplifier does not go into sleep mode,
- you can hear hiss, whine or crackling that does not respond to the volume control and continues even after the radio is switched off,
- the rear speakers do not work, or one side of the car is silent.
The noise may be accompanied by the smell of burnt electronics. The damage is caused by flooding or a short circuit after an attempt to start the car with a booster.
What does the repair depend on?
It depends on the condition of the main board, which we assess after checking the removed amplifier. In your submission, please state whether the unit has been flooded, whether there is any rust visible on it, and whether it has been opened. Provide the make, model and year of the car, and attach a photo of the amplifier with the sticker. Based on the photos and description, we provide an indicative quote, and confirm the exact price and scope of work after inspection. We carry out the repair after your approval.
