Audio Systems: Car radio short circuit, mercedes sl320, amplifier board

Question

"My 1994 Mercedes SL320 was strongly rear ended causing $8,000 damage.  Electronically related, the rear lighting assemblies were smashed and required replacement.  Post-accident the radio exhibits a blinking digital display, loud amplified pops when it is turned on and off, it sometimes has no audio output and other times only one speaker works.  My insurance company will not recognize this as accident related without "proof of cause" such as damaged wires with connection to the radio.  I suggested a transient causal such as a grounding or short circuit or a power surge, but to no avail.  Is there a more factual, not binding opinion to specify and support my claim?"


Answer
