why were you uncrewing your remote wire with the system on?

THIS is why you fuse the REM wire. Sorry, check the fuse on your HU. It may still be blown.

yup...

when will people realize that the first step in working on ANY part of your cars electrical system/Audio System is...UN-HOOK the BATTERY.

I have too. Everyday as a matter of fact. The key is not to turn on the radio or put the fuse in the fuse holder until you are done with everything.

I was unscrewing it because my amp is always on no matter what, and before you say anything i know correct way of wiring it on the headset, its been done before but it then doesnt turn on at all. I got a pegeout 206 btw!

how do i check the fuse on my headunit? and my amp doesnt turn on either!

then you weren't using the correct wires. There's a remote wire from the HU AND there's the ignition wires on the vehicle that can be used.

Yep i know, i got a professional to check it out, and he told me to ring some other guy beacuse he had no idea why the amp didnt work when it was wired correctly!

Thats what im stuck on! How do i check the fuses for my radio? where are they located? and on my amp i cant get the fuses out!

Did the turn on wire touch the power wire? That will surely do the trick. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Take out your radio, and the fuse is on the backside.
