Guest DC Power Kyle Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Get a DMM connect the positive lead to the remote turn on and ground the other lead.... turn on the stereo and see if you see 12v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanFA5 Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Get a DMM connect the positive lead to the remote turn on and ground the other lead.... turn on the stereo and see if you see 12v should i connect the positive directly to the wire coming off the headunit or all the way in the trunk where the amps at? and also, where can i get a cheap dmm? i dont have one...

hamel52 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) another thing you can do is run a jump from your power connection to your remote and if the remote is faulty then the amp will turn on. but you can't leave it like this if it turns on because the amp wont shut off so its just a test. and you can get a dmm at walmart for like 15 bucks Edited June 5, 2010 by hamel52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanFA5 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Alright. I finally got a dmm and checked all my wiring. Ive got 12v coming from the headunit but when i test it at the amp its only reading 3.2v. Same thing for my power. It reads 12v at the fuse and battery terminal but when i test it in the back it reads around 3 and 4 volts. Wtf?? HELP!! Quote 2010 Civic SI sedan: Crystal Black Pearl All stock.
