It sounds like yo shorted the speaker wires together for a short time and smoked the output section of the amp. The amber light is an indication that the amp is in protect mode. If you attempt to power up the amp and still have the amber light even with all speaker wires disconnected, the amp needs repair. The output transistors for that side will need to be replaced.

Heated drivers seat dont work on my 1998 lincoln contenital

It could be the heating element or the Driver heated seat module ! Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ? Circuit testing with a DMM - digital multi-meter ? This system has a element in the seat an the back . None work ?

  • Heated Seat Inoperative
  • Circuitry open/shorted.
  • Damaged heated seat heater elements.
  • Damaged heated seat module.

  • GO to Pinpoint Test G .

PINPOINT TEST G: HEATED SEAT INOPERATIVE G1 TEST HEATER ELEMENTS
  • Disconnect connectors C352 LH ( C356 RH) at heater modules.
  • Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance of heater elements according to the following chart:

    Connectors C352 LH; 356 RH Pin Circuit Pin Circuit 12 1067 (P/LB) 9 1066 (GY/LB)
Is resistance of elements 2.5-10 ohms?
Yes No GO to G2 . GO to G4 .
The seat heater module is under the driver seat .

G2 TEST HEAT SENSORS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of sensors according to the following chart:

    Connectors C352 LH; 356 RH Pin Circuit Pin Circuit 11 1063 (O/LB) 10 1062 (R/LB) 6 1061 (BR/LB)
Is resistance more than 10,000 ohms?
Yes No REPLACE trim covers. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. GO to G3 . G3 TEST HEAT SENSORS FOR SHORT CIRCUIT
  • Using an ohmmeter connected to a known good ground measure resistance of Circuit 1063 (O/LB) at Pin C352 LH; Pin C356 RH.
  • Measure resistance of Circuit 1061 (BR/LB) at Pin C352 and Pin C356 .
Is resistance 0 ohms?
Yes No REPLACE trim covers. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. GO to G6 .
G4 TEST CIRCUITS BETWEEN HEATER MODULE AND HEATING ELEMENT CONNECTOR
  • Disconnect connectors C353 and C351 LH.
  • Disconnect connectors C355 and C354 RH.
  • Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance of circuits between module connector and heater element connector according to the following chart:

    Connectors C352 LH; 356 RH Pin Circuit Pin Circuit 12 1067 (P/LB) 11 1063 (O/LB) 6 1061 (BR/LB) 10 1062 (R/LB) 9 1066 (GY/LB)
Is resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes No GO to G5 . SERVICE suspect circuit for open. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system.
G5 TEST HEAT ELEMENT AND SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Refer to Circuit charts in G4.
  • Using an ohmmeter connected to known good ground, check resistance of circuits.
Is resistance less than 10 K ohms?
Yes No SERVICE suspect circuit for short to ground. RESTORE vehicle. RETEST system. Circuits satisfactory. REPLACE trim cover. G6 TEST HEATED SEAT SWITCH POSITION 1
  • Disconnect connector C352 LH ( C356 RH).
  • Make sure switch is in position 1.
  • Using an ohmmeter measure resistance between Pin C352 , Circuit 1018 (LG/O) and Pin C352 , Circuit 1019 (T/LB).
  • Measure resistance between Pin C356 , Circuit 579 (BK/O) and Pin C356 , Circuit 580 (BR).
Is resistance between 2.0 K and 2.75 K ohms?
Yes No GO to G7 . GO to G14 .

One of my MR8's has only its tweeter working, im guessing the bass driver might be blown? How can i test this though and be sure it is the bass driver and not just a simple electrical fault?

Open the unit and remove one wire from one of the woofer terminals and using an ohmmeter check the resistance between the terminals. It probably should be between 6 and 16 ohms... they don't give the specs on the speaker... if it is very high or infinite resistance, the voice coil is blown and you be re-coning or buying new speaker. These are close in speakers and intended for a small room for studio listening while mixing. If the speaker is OK, then the bass amp in the cabinet has a failure... pray, as that is cheaper to repair than a speaker.

Is my subwoofs or amp that's bad or even ground

If amp is stereo then remove one speaker at a time and check sound quality. Determine if it's one channel or both. If Mono, or bridged, then do same and determine if it's speakers or amp. If problem with both, then it may be amp, but without another set of subs or a scope to test, the possibility that both subs are blown remains. You should know if you pushed it real hard all the time till it clipped, or till the speakers were popping out of their cones, or do you use it within the rated limits, with the system tuned to prevent clipping. If you have been bumping it real hard, maybe suspect the subs. If the amp is acting normally otherwise.
