How to Replace the Fuses

How to Replace the Fuses

If the MCC301M produces no sound, there is no
Illumination of the Meter on the Top Glass Panel, and the
power connections seem secure, one or more of the
Amplifier’s Fuse(s) may have failed. Under normal
operating conditions your amplifier’s fuses should not fail.
Failure of a fuse is usually an indication of a problem.
Replacing the fuse, if there is problem in the amplifier,
may incur a risk of further damage. Refer to figures 8, 9
and 10.

Caution: Disconnect the Amplifier from the Vehicle Battery

(or DC Power Supply) as Potentially Dangerous
Currents exist inside the amplifier.

1. Before accessing fuses, disconnect both the positive

and negative power cables from the DC input
terminals on the left side of the amplifier using a
5/32” hex key.

2. Remove the Top Glass Panel by first removing the

four hex bolts with the supplied 3/32” hex key.

3. To remove the Top Glass Panel, attach the supplied

suction cup to the top center of the glass panel and
carefully raise it high enough to put your hand under.
Temporarily place the removed glass panel in a safe
place, remove the suction cup and save it for future
use.

4. Remove the Phillips Screws holding the End Caps on

both sides of the amplifier and lift the end caps off.

5. Remove the two Phillips Screws, one is located above

the row of Controls/Switches and the other near the
Bottom Edge of the Gold Faceplate Control Panel.

6. Remove all 5 crossover, equalizer and sensitivity

knobs.

7. Remove the Gold Faceplate Control Panel.
8. Remove the fuses with needle nose pliers, taking care

to avoid hitting parts on the circuit board.

Note: To determine if the fuse has failed, examine the

link between the two fuse legs to see if it has a
break in it.

9. Replace the fuse with one of the same type and

rating, as unauthorized substitutions may prove
hazardous to you and the amplifier.

10. When reinserting the fuse, set it in place with the

pliers, then push it the rest of the way in with your
finger to avoid having the pliers slip and hit the
circuit board.

11. Re-install the Gold Faceplate Control Panel and all 4

equalizer and sensitivity knobs.

12. Re-connect the power cables to the vehicle battery.

If the replacement fuse(s) fails again, have the amplifier
repaired at a McIntosh Service Center.
