Some owners of a 2006 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy or Saab 9-7x may comment about a generator whine noise heard from the vehicle's speakers. This will be noticed with the radio on or off, engine running.
This applies to short wheelbase vehicles equipped with UQA Bose Amplifier only. The amplifier on the short wheel base is located in the right rear quarter panel behind the trim. The harness is routed along the right side and follows the contour of the floor close to the sill plates. If the harness is not kept tight where the second row seat fastens to the floor, the harness may be pinched or trapped under the front corner of the second row seat frame or bolt.
Open the passenger rear door and remove the sill plate. Locate the harness that travels along this sill plate area and follow to the second row seat frame outer mounting bolt. If you suspect that the harness is pinched, remove the second row seat and remove the trapped harness. Repair any damaged wires and secure the harness to prevent damage in the future.
