so i disconnected my fuse for my subs prior to reconnecting them together, i had the key in the ignition and listening to some music. i put the ground cable, and the battery cable into the amp, then hooked up the REM cable. Once i hooked up the REM cable my radio just shut off. Anyone know the problem. Remember that my fuse for the sub is separated.

 

stereo is no good now.... just throw away your car...... just kidn... check your fuses... on the radio

 

lol almost a heart attack there. i check them all, already.

 

i doubt it... check the fuses for the radio and the acc

 

did you check the cars fuse for the radio?

 

ill have to double check the fuses again. what specifically am i looking for? cd 5? RD 1?

 

You need to go up to radio shack and get your self a $10 multi meter. They are so useful...I don't know how people get by without being able to check for voltage, and continuity.

 

good idea.

 

okay so i just turned on my car again...still the radio doesnt start, but the amp wont turn on either...anyone think it has to do wit the REM wire.

 

One trick I've used to test an amp when the REM wire is in question is to take a small 'jumper' wire from the power line to the REM line. For example if you have an amp with the screw type of wire connectors you can just take a short piece of wire and touch one side to the power screw and the other to the REM screw.

Other people might say that's a bad idea cause it might short something out but....what's the fun in playing it safe all the time?

If you want to play it safe, you'll see my previous post about a multimeter.

 

allright did that, and its the rem, no power whatsoever. Im guessin it got disconnect from the headunit. Guess i gotta make a trip to circuit city tomorrow.

 

darn wires. glad i could help!

 

appreciate it...if they had a points meter for help or advice id give you a 10/10.

 

so all my wires were fine...i think i fried my deck.

 

did u press the PWR button? lol jk
u better get someone from a shop to look at that

 

That is my second guess is that you fried the deck. When you connected the rem it sent a huge voltage spike which probably took out the head unit. Next time make shure to have power off or dissconnected before making any electrical connections. That sux.... sorry dude

 

ACC fuse under by the pedals its blown

 

yeah i think its about time for a new deck anyways. maybe an alpine, or pioneer deck. i get paid this week so new deck with full rockford fosgate components.

which one is the acc fuse?

 

ok...so the ACC was blown, but my radio still doesnt turn on?
