[QUOTE="chevy_man, post: 5230846, member: 564089"] This is the wrong way to fix this. IMO, the only reason to mess with it is IF the issue arises. If you don't "hot swap" your RCA's you will never have this issue. The correct way is IF you have a ground loop, to open the unit and replace the pico fuse. I did it kinda half assed and soldered in a piece of 22ga instead of replacing the fuse because I didn't want to wait 2 weeks on a fuse to be ordered. To do it the correct way you should have a magnifying glass on a stand, and a good iron with a fine tip, and some forceps or tiny needle nose pliers. Unsolder the fuse, then solder in the new one or a jumper (I don't recommend a jumper because the fuse is there for a reason, so proceed with a jumper at your own risk). I tried your way at first, but after grounding my chassis, all my RCA's, and running all my amps, batteries, and HU grounds to the same place on the frame I still had interference. Once I replaced the fuse the issue went away completely. 100% noise free no matter the signal source. [/QUOTE]
