Amp won't turn on.

Waddup guys. I ran into a problem while installing a system in my buddy's car. I ran the power wire through, remote wire through, and grounded the wire onto the chassis, hooked up the amp but the amp won't turn on. I tried 3 different amplifiers, checked all fuses, checked the main power wire fuse. I also tried connecting a wire from the 12v to the remote but it still won't turn on. The amp worked on another buddy's car. Any ideas? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

i would check the voltage of the power line with a dmm and check to make sure there is a constant 12 going through it. Then make sure the rem is plugged correctly into the deck.

Replace your inline fuse, check your REM. Check your ground and your power wire.

Running just 1 amp?

Yes change your fuse, I just told a kid with the same problem he tried everything said the fuse was good etc and ready to take it to a shop, told him to change the fuse anyways because sometimes there shot and dont look like it. And that solved his problem. Make sure your grounds are good and not on paint as well.

Yep, treat inline fuses like a headlight bulb. Happened to me a few times.

Also check your connection w/ your battery. Is the Ring crimped on the power wire good? Mine fell off awhile back and it took me 3 days to figure that out. Check EVERYTHING. lol.

All the wiring's been checked, all the terminals are making good contact with the wires. I'm gonna' check the inline fuse tomorrow. Ahh man everythnig was going smoothly until that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

it is probably either the main power fuse or the remote wire, also, make sure the ground wire is bolted onto a bare metal surface

Alright, I got that shit workin'. I found out it was the fuse, the fuse looked fine but I guess it was faulty. Thanks for the help yall. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif
