Amps won't turn on. 16 volt system. relay for turn on

I guess you could wire the sides of the coil in the relay either way and it will work. So it must be a wiring issue then go back over your wiring.

Keep in mind that some relays have a diode inline with the coil to help keep it from ringing....and that may be his problem. OP, Try swapping your inputs on pins 85 and 86.

The diode is wired in parallel across the coils not series. relay is fine. check wiring

thanks for the replies guys. i tried switching 85 and 86, nothing. not sure what the remote wire voltage is but i tried jumping the turn on for the relay to a + of a d3100 and nothing turned on.

shitty relay? i bought 5 and have tried swapping them out. nada.

*edit - also talked to dj from team nemesis. said he was running his turn on the same way with a relay. besides his is working lol.

The relay only needs 12 on 86 and ground on 85 to turn over or "click"..

Even if its diode suppressed you had it hooked up correctly before.

At this point id say ground if the relay isnt clicking.

If it is clicking then you have a 12v supply issue or rem wire issue to the amps.

So.

.....

Take the wire from pin 30 and touch it to pin 87

If they turn on then its from the relay to the deck

If they dont then just get a dmm already..

Hello all, having a bit of a puzzler. i have 4 sundown 3500s hooked up to my 9 16 volt xp1000s. power grounds are wired up. remotes are all jumped together.

i tried using the normal turn on and nothing.

i jumped the bat + to turn on and everything turns on.

hooked up a bosch style 5 pin relay

30 to 16 volt bats + = to amp turn on

85 to ground

86 to 12 volt turn on/remote wire.

87 to amp turn on = to 16v bat+

87a nothing hooked up

thanks guys!!!

I think you have the above wires bassackwards. Been a while since I messed with a relay but try that.

It does not matter how those 2 wires are hooked up.

My bad...

Either have 5 bad relays or ground issues then.

Do you have your 12v bat / 16v bats and the relay sharing a common ground?

sorry guys for the late reply. been busy as hell trying to get everything hooked up. ended up pulling the relay off and just throwing a toggle switch on it for now.

i don't have a common ground for the 12 and 16 volt side.

I'll test out what you said when i get the chance ray.
