Bose Amp removal instructions???

[ThePublisher]

My audio system comes on and does not put out any sound. Everything else works as far as actually playing a CD or tuning the radio. From the research I've done on this forum, its probably the amp. I'm trying to get to it to test it but can't find anything as far as instruction of how to remove the rear paneling to get to it so I can test it. I have a dark blue 05 fx35.

Please help! I hate driving in silence.

Welcome to
All you got to do is take out the spare tires and the plastic surroundings. Lossen a couple of 10 & 12 mm bolts, you should be able to the spare tire surround out. The Bose amp is on the passenger side of the trunk.

Yeah I've taken out the tire and all that. Was just hoping there were some step by step instructions so i don't take out more than needed/ or break anything.

Well for anyone else who has this question, this is how you do it:

Take out tire.
Take off two bolts in back that hold on straps that hold on the spare tire compartment cover.
Take off 3 bolts that are now accessible after removing the cover at the front of the cargo area. - Remove right/passenger flap. Pull right bottom plastic out from under the left side.
Pull strong but steadily on the silver panel at the rear of trunk right where the hatch closes, this has some clips holding it in but they pop out with some pressure.
Then you can just pull on the bottom plastic panel, away from the edge of the car and it will come out from under the side trim.
Amp is bolted in 3 places to the back right of the cargo area.
