But chk if you can change the voltage on it first. 2011 Mitsubishi OutlanderSony 712 Soundqubed HDS208 Alpine MRV-M500 Transmission line enclosure Soundqubed wiring Knu rca XS Power battery CNF terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 maybe the engine is spinning too slow for the alt to turn on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
