Cadillac Bose Audio Intermittent or Static with Treble and Bass Slide Controls
Cadillac - 85-90 Delco Bose	Speakers cut in and out intermittently, treble/bass controls have static when adjusting.

	Adjusting treble/bass slide controls can cause speakers to go in and out with static.

	This is a simple DIY Repair. Radio Shack sells a "Control Cleaner" with lubricant. Push slide controls down. Spray into top of slide control opening and move slide control up and down to clean and lubricate.

NOTE - This model Corvette, 85 to 88 1/2 rarely has a Bose amplifier problem. If cleaning the treble/bass controls does not take care of speaker problems, see How to Troubleshoot Your Corvette Bose System.

This was an interesting problem! The stereo is programmed to communicate with the car computer. (There may be a glitch in the Matrix). Disconnect both main battery terminals and touch them together.
