    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Thanks for the reply andy, I'll try to check it this evening when I get back. I also wanted to note that I just tried to direct inject my 66v the same as my working 55v I have now (not the 55v we've been in) and it's doing the same thing the 33hml and 55v are and this was on dummy load never...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Replaced c145 with a 330uf 25volt and still have around 6volts coming from the audio chip side going to the hots (centers) of the ex/pa speaker contacts, not sure what's going on here. I've replaced all parts on the board going to that foil that the Audi chip is soldered to, still doesn't make...

    Won't light up a wheat lamp if I'm doing it right, but an led meter light shows some light when touched to the contact's.

    C145 is where I traced the voltage back to, getting ready to check with a light to see. I'll get back with you Andy, thanks.

    I'll look around and check some more caps and those traces from and around L5 and check the caps to, from, and around the ex/pa plugs. I'll get back with you thank you for the help handy Andy.

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Ok so I ran out of ideas and just went testing different spot in the radio and found that the hots on the external speaker and PA speaker have 5.6 volts on them, I thought it was kinda weird because there shouldn't be 5 volts on them, my 66v shows 0.0vdc when testing all points on the...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    I checked the voltages on ic1, ic2 and ic6 and replaced L5, voltages were fine other then 2 of the pins squealed back through and had the modulation and wattage pegged checking in tx mode on ic6 mic amp think it was showing 4.50 volts on both pins still though so voltage was good. before I...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Would like to still find the damage done, but would also like to re-locate the DI location to a different ground or different place on the board even if I had to, weird though that it didn't do the same to my other 55vdi that works fine but you know radios are weird sometimes. I'm not sure what...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    AM/FM/PA switch is fine works on all 3 modes when put back to non direct injected stock radio. What are your thoughts about the ground at L5 tuning pot, my ground wire at L5 runs up to the audio plug on the back which touches case ground shorting case to board ground (plug is metal threaded with...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Had an idea so I got the 33hml DI out because it's the same way weird wattage can be turned up but not down so I'm working on a theory....so I put the radio back together factory cap values and regular radio. Radio works fine it only does this weird wattage that won't go down when turned up when...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    I'll replace tr53, tr34 and change out the AM/FM/PA switch and check C126, D31 and D32 and get back with you handy Andy, that's alot of good info on am/fm modes thanks. Glad there's a place like this we can put heads together to figure problems like this out.

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Ok so to clarify my last post, the radio isn't transmitting FM on FM only receiving FM on FM and still transmits the AM signal with the mode switch on FM. With another radio on close and with the mode switch on both radios on FM the di 55v is transmitting AM on FM mode. But we might have...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Tried FM and I'm showing forward swing which shouldn't be happening, same on FM wattage can be turned up and will not go back down. Frequency Modulated is completely separate from amplitude modulation, only AM should show forward swing. It's almost like I never flipped the AM/FM switch at all...

    Direct injected galaxy DX55V wattage problems

    Where I used L5 for board ground for the audio cord it got me thinking about the AM/FM being "active" at the same time like someone already has said. Would a short to ground through L5's potentiometer cause this problem. L5 is the FM detector.
