Where is the Amp Relay on a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country?

Answer 1

The amp relay is in the Relay/Fuse box located under the hood. The amp relay is the one labeled NBS which stands for Name Brand Speakers.

If you are trying to install an after market radio in a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country, you may notice that no sound comes from the speakers. This is because the single wire that is connected to the factory radio sends a signal to the Bus which tells the relay to turn on - powering the factory amp. I bypassed this by running a wire from the red Acc power wire on the radio to the relay. Connect the wire to pin number 87 on the relay. When standing in front of and facing the van, pin number 87 is the pin, on the NBS relay, which is closest to you and furtherst right.

I want to correct the above answer. There are two things you need to do. 1- the step above. 2 - The Single wire plug (I believe it is grey and green) is the amps ground wire. This needs to be grounded, i.e. attach it to the braided ground wire that was bolted into the factory deck.

Tada! You have sound
