High voltage at the speaker terminals

I have a 2275 that is stuck in protection. The right channel is stable with 6 mv at the speaker terminals.The left channel read 50 mv and dropped to 25 after warming up, then the protection related kicked in. Now the relay is back in protection and if I manually engage the relay, it reads 42 volts! at the speaker terminals What would cause this? I disconnected the left amp and the relay engages as it should.

The item needs repair, if you are able to diy...

As above, typically outputs or drivers however in this case, because of the slightly lower voltage H711 or H712.
Important that you note the +/- sign on all voltage measurements.

Rather than manually engaging(??) the relay you should be reading the voltage at the L-OUT (middle) pin of connector J709.

Suggest start by diode testing H001,2 H711,2,3,4, unit powered off/unplugged, try in circuit first.

I found H701 was shorted. I replaced both H701 and H702 with C1845s. Upon testing, one of these or both get very warm quickly. I replaced the outputs with these.

still in protection. Happy to take measurements, have a scope, fluke mm, and signal generator. Thank you

I don't know the amp, this really should be one for the marantz guru's.

H701,2 getting hot is a little odd, perhaps you have a failed zener H715,6.
Suggest a basic health check, maybe something will pop up.
Plz measure dc voltages at the following points
J707
J704
J706
H711collector
H712c
R705 (one side)
R705(other side)
H701c
