[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8849695, member: 674149"] The remote wire is just a switch wire. It's usually connected to the head unit, because that's the only time you need the amps on. Those switch wires, are very small, usually 100-300 millivolts to turn them on. The circuit he/you may have been using could have a very small parasitic draw on it, that might not be read depending on the setting of the multimeter, but could still be enough to trigger that tiny switch. I would use a test light or make sure you have your multimeter testing millivolts when you check the circuits. If you can pull the head unit out, I would guess there has to be a switch wire back there, even something you could fuse tap into at last resort. You could also wire it up to any accessory circuit, and it would come on when the vehicle is on. That is also mostly the same vehicle as the GMC acadia, and (what is probably the more popular) Chevrolet Traverse. Have you checked any Chevy forums to see what they are connecting to? [/QUOTE]
