[QUOTE="MrSlaybury, post: 8509109, member: 662860"] Hey from the US. A REM wire is purely used to signal the amp to turn on, that's it. Usually a 16-18 gauge wire is what I've seen used. I don't have any specific link for you, but what I would do is just buy a specific REM wire from a trusted seller. If you're worried about the wire being fragile, I would imagine you could use a thicker gauge (although I've personally never tried that). I would check and recheck and triple check and then have your dog/cat/pet check your ground. It sounds like you know what's up, but make sure your grounding point is BARE metal, no paint etc. You could use a Multimeter to test a few different things, but it really sounds like an issue with your REM. I would test your voltage at the REM wire on the amp end and make sure it's consistent with your battery's voltage. I've seen people route REM wire through area that have moving parts (like a seat folding down or even a door closing on the wire), and that had similar effects. Did the system work at all in the past? What brand and type of LOC are you using? If everything worked fine in the past and now it isn't, it could be a loose connection. A DMM has been my best friend I'm so many situations. If you don't have one, definitely buy one. You'll need it to test voltage. I wouldn't call myself an expert on this stuff by no means, but I thought I'd share at least what I know.
