remote wire on Alpine

[knighty]

I believe i have overloaded my alpine's remote turn on circuit. It has a constant 4 volt ouput with ignition off. I thought it was strange of course, so i pulled the battery terminal from the battery. So I re-checked the voltage and got the same reading: 4volts. The strangest part: has a voltage reading without being hooked to a battery. I reconnected everything hoping that might fix it, also pushed the resetbutton on my deck, started the car- measured 18volts! I am thoroughly confjsed how i can get a reading without jt being connected to a battery and as to why the reading is so high with ignition on. Has anyone experienced something like this? Im thinking i may have hooked too much stuff to the remote.

I've owned/have many Alpine HU's and never heard of that before. I'm currently running 2 right now 1 each in my vehicle, older models.

There could very well be a short inside the unit itself causing the problem. have you tried another HU to see if you get the same problem?
