Kicker 43cxa6005 protection help

[rhempz01]

Ok this amplifier has no shorted components yet stays in protection. It in protection without remote. No output from the tl494c. No drive.
i have removed all the power supply mosfets.

Lift R47 on daughter board to disable protection. Carefully monitor current draw ,heat etc on power up.

Pins 5 & 6 of IC2 and IC8-18021 are connected to Pins 9 & 10 of IC1-TL494. One of the drivers may have failed. Trace the connection from the header pins to IC2 & 8. I would point to the pins, but don't recall which ones are connected. They will be one or two pins from the left.

Once you find the pins, remove the solder so that the drive pins are no longer connected and check the TL494 for drive.

no change, so i changed the 494 and the m18021's as well. still no output from pins 9&10

 

[PapaZBill]

Check Q3-2N7002(remote) and Q4-BC817(+5v Ref). Both are tied to The IC1-TL494 Pin 4 along with D23-DAS-40-6(output lines of IC2 & IC8). If either one fails I believe it will shut down the IC1's drive.

 

[rhempz01]

Q1 is burnt in the middle badly, (bc817) possibly?
zd1 is shorted.
so there is no voltage getting to Q1 now.

 

[rhempz01]

replaced Q1,Q3,Q2, and Q4 bc817 was the last piece that brought the drive back up.

 

[PapaZBill]

Q1 & Q4-C817, Q2-BCP53, Q3-2N7002 and ZD1-5.1v zener.

Q1,Q2,Q3 and ZD1 are part of the Turn on circuit. Q4 controls the soft start for the TL494 through Pin 4 DTC.

Now that you have drive does the amp have rails and output?

 

[rhempz01]

yes fully operational. Somehow that was the only thing wrong with amplifier. Thanks papaZbill for making this and other kicker repairs possible.
