Try connecting your phone into the rca inputs to see if amp working properly. Use an rca to 3.5mm cable.

If you have RCA signal, proper voltage at remote terminal, power, a good ground, and it's not working then the amp is dead.

Most LOCs are trash though. In a 2008 vehicle I would just go to an aftermarket head unit.

This is were the remote wire got attached to would this be right.

IDK you tell me. When you connect a multi meter to that wire with key on do you have 12 volts? When you turn the key off does it have no voltage?

Borrow an amp from a buddy and see if that works. Otherwise, I think you should take it to a shop to diagnose, for safety reasons. If i have to tell you to measure voltage between the remote turn-on terminal and ground, I personally don't want you to follow anything i say because I don't want to be held accountable if you do it wrong.

This may be dumb but could not having a powerful enough fuse not work to turn on the amp in the first place
Because the wiring kit I bought came with a 60 amp fuse but the amp has 3 30 amp fuses

No.

I'm not familiar with lanzar, but generally if they are lit up, they are on. Check your incoming signal. Are your rca's connected to inputs and not outputs?

So first of all we have tested the power and ground. Then we have tested the trigger wire and everything is getting 12v. The amp is turning blue because of logo light. But the only thing that doesn't seem to work now is the green light is not turning on and the amp is not giving off power. So if anyone else has anything to offer for help that would be great.

Did you try an alternate signal source? When you tested amp output, was it with the voltmeter and was it set to a/c volts? If amp does not have a good signal to amplify, it will be difficult to check output.
