RSE whining through rear speakers.

[bfourman]

I know this is common, and I can make it stop by turning off the RSE but is there any way to repair the unit? I have taken it out and applied dielectric grease to the connector but that did nothing. It started out only happening when it was cold out but now it's all the time.

Before I drop $150 on a new control unit has anyone successfully taken it apart and found a bad solder or anything?

I opened mine up and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

I tightened up the ground pins, I can't remember the pin numbers off the top of my head, and haven't had any issues since. There are two as I recall.

I remember they were towards the center and one of the wires is bare. I found them using a wiring diagram.

Makes sense as it sounds like a loose ground.

Thanks.

OK.. I think i'm getting the same... Can you point me to what and where the RSE is... I am dumb on this one

RSE is rear seat entertainment.

It is the control panel for the rear A/C, Audio that is in the back of the center console.

Well no dice. Took it all apart, cleaned a couple suspect solders and dielectric greased all connectors. Still squealing. Looks like a new unit from Amazon eventually.


Edit: new used unit from a member cleared it up.

Do you have any accessories plugged into your car like BT, 12V or 120V adapters?

Nope. It was 100% the RSE unit. Replaced with another one from a partout and it's been silent.
