Argh.. I bought this car over a month ago, the cars radio did not work, because of amp1.

So with your help I attempted to purchase a optical loop bypass from etadyne, but they have been out of stock forever. so in a last ditch, I cracked open my broken amp 1, inside there I saw two optical cords, one in and one out, so I was thinking what if I were to snip these two lines at the end of them, and steal the female connector, could I connect the two lines together and then plug in thE female connector to the male plug going to amp1?

If so, how would I go about connecteing them? Electrical tape? Or aluminum foil and ducttape?

apparently there's something wrong with my Amp1 because my radio keeps going on and off, and my turn signals are really moody when they wanna produce any sounds :p
How do I know if my Amp1 is broken or fixable? i can see some corrosion on the box from the outside but I dunno if I should go ahead and open it...
Help! I only have basic tools and my knowledge in electronic parts is limited to amateur.
