Did you put a test light on it to verify this?

I did the old tap the chasis and see if there is a spark.

how'd you test the fuse?

are you sure the amp isnt toasted?

Make sure that your remote-on wire hasnt been snagged or cut on anything.

Wouldnt the power cable have sparked if there was some sort of current running through it when i put it against the chasis

how did you make sure your fuse isnt blown, but looks like you already commented on that.

check your remote wire and make sure your ground is to good clean metal.

Hook it to the battery.

Hook it to the battery.

then to the power cable?

 

[maritoze 10+ year member]

And what do I set the multimeter to?

I meant hook the power wire to the battery...lol

Before you blow somethin up I will be serious.

Take your meter and put the positive on one end of the fuse and Neg on the other as if you were checking Ohms(resistance). If you don't get a readout your fuse is bad.
