Similar to most of the Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in the car, the capacitors in these modules tend to fail by leaking electrolyte. Especially the first generation of amplifiers (they can be identified by at least one small green capacitor) are known to leak early (sometimes after less then ten years) and resulting in most NSX having their amplifiers replaced at least once. Modules with heavy leakage may ...
