I had some problems with my breakers messing up and I feel it had something to do with this amp being stuck In protection mode. It's on the work bench right now and the circuits boards have no burns on them so I feel it maybe just a certain component failing. If anyone has any experience working on amps it would be awesome if you could walk me through where I should start. I have my multimeter ready! Thanks!

    Since you have a multimeter, what's the rail voltage look like?

    Also, check if any of the output transistors are shorted.
