One of the M25's,i was told was instantly showing the red light on switch on,so before testing it i opened it up(its a series one) had a look at it and apart from a bit of a dodgy earth(i have resoldered now),it seemed ok someone has replaced the capacitors that usually leak at some time.
I also opened up the other M25(SERIES TWO) to see if the capacitors were ok and see if both amps looked similar inside,i noticed that the speaker cables(inside the amp) on the the series two were wired up diferently to the series one,so i checked on google(images) and the series one was wired up wrong.
So i then swapped them to how they should be,put it back together and then tested in the car.
Still showing Overload-Red Light Indicator,instantly on turn on.....it says in the manual you would get this light if "the amp has passed more than 8amps of current in the output stage" or "passed more than 250watts total RMS!
Only thing i notice that is a bit wierd is that on the underside of the circuit board there are four wires(2 pairs) about 1cm long soldered across the board i was going to remove them but thought i would ask before doing something to dumb
So if there is anybody who could give me some advice or reason why that light is on all the time it would be great.
Could it be because the speaker wires were wired up wrong(inside the amp).
Thanks Dave
