[QUOTE="mastarecoil, post: 2034142, member: 567914"] I am trying to hook up an automotive relay for turning on my amps. I have tripled checked that my wires are okay. 30 to battery 87 to amps 86 to trigger supply 85 to ground My trigger supply is a power antenna turn on. This car has no power antenna, so the relay is the only draw to this source. I have read about others sucesfully using this as the remote input for their amps (with and without a relay) so I believe it should provide enough current, those automotive relays dont draw much anyways. When the power antenna wire is not connected to the relay, it reads a nice 12volts. When it is connected, however, the relay does not trigger and I only measure 1volt. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
