Nah, just walked outside about a couple of hours ago and saw it. This is the second one I've had do this on my car. I think every car in our fleet has had this happen atleast twice. They always replace the modules for free though.

Really? Wow. I've never heard of that many problems from one agency. I wonder if you all got a bad batch. So your vehicle was just parked outside turned off and that's what happened? Oh most certainly they will replace them for free. I'll have to ask about this problem when I get a chance and see what I can find out.

Yeah, I'm guessing that when the temperature dropped, the condensation inside the head built up and got to the circuit. That is only one diode that is lite up, usually when they go out all six diodes are lite. I was on my weekend so I had not driven my car in two days. It is unhooked and awaiting a replacement.

We have a PD here that is running the SOS ETL5000 on 30 something cars, and over half of the bars do that. The dealer they bought them from is giving them the run-around on fixing these problems so they're going with a different bar (purchased from a different dealer) for future builds. I love SoundOff but they need to get this fixed!
