If you already have an amp hooked up, just hook it up like regular. If its not working use a cable to jump the (+) terminal to the remote terminal. If its not working still, either the power wire is bad, or the ground is bad. Or you can just use a dmm, voltmeter, and see if theres 12V flowing when the key is turned on.

Set your multimeter to DC voltage (the 'V' with the straight line over it rather than the wavy line) on the range that would be appropriate (the smallest range on the meter most likely)

Ground the black lead to an appropriate ground spot and use the red lead to check the voltage coming out of the remote accessory activation lead.

Viola! Done!
