Yet another Mark Levinson woe (1 Viewer)

About a week ago, I heard random static and popping sound from the speakers.
When it happens, there was no volume level displayed on the screen as well.

I searched the forum and it seems like it's a classic indication of our beloved(?) Mark Levinson amp failing.
It happened only once while I turned on the seat fan and AC on... not sure it was related.

Anyway, I plugged my Blue Driver scanner and found the following code.
Does anyone successfully fixed the issue without sending the unit to the out of state vendors?

Check your connections at the amp.

Check your connections at the amp.

Thank you… will try that.
Do I have to completely remove the front seat in order to check the amp connectors?

I would think you can loosen the 4 bolts and tip it towards the back seat.

I got to mine by moving the seat forward and up.

Oh! Nice… will try that method first.

My kids left a water bottle that got under it and pulled a connector loose.

Don't forget you have a few wires connected under the seat as well
