That's all i can figure it is. Today i was messing around with everything and got it to work, so i wire nutted everything etc. then i go to turn the car on again and notta. When i hook up the remote to just my c2, just my m1, or just my eqs, the power light comes on, but it's dim....
i have a panasonic cq-v7003d or soemthing so it's not brand new but i never imagined this could/would happened. unfortunately it's not under warranty anymore.....
haha this sounds ghetto but i dont have 500 bucks or more for a new HU on me with proms and sh!t around the corner, so could i run a remote wire from the distros with a on/off toggle switch? very very ghetto, but for the time being?? i need some bumps for the next month or so
how much stuff are you turning on with the remote? Whatever, Wire a relay into a fused slot on the fuse panel that livens up when the key is on. Then connect your shipt to the relay.
maybe, Without putting a DMM on it. its 50/50. And if it still sends power when the HU is turned on, then yes you can use a relay on it. It only needs like .5mA to signal. So put a meter on that wire and know for sure.
alright the remote was sending a little bit of power out. i hooked up the wires to the relay i bought but the amps/eq only click on for a second when i start the car and thats it?
and now i just hooked up a wire from the power distro to my amp remote wire and the amp wasn't going on. so now i'm almost thinking it's in the power supply somewhere, but my battery connection is fine, ANL isn't blown, so i am just stumped right now.
check your grounds. Do you have a meter? thats the way to fix it. see where the power is. whats its at, and where its going. You have either a power/rem/ground/amp/hu/ problem. With out a meter its all speculation.
alright so i've got (car on) ~14 volts at the battery. 14 volts after the fuse. but at the distro's i'm getting 3 volts and 3 at the amps. now when i turn the car on, but the HU off, the amps/distros are seeing 8 volts. so i figure it's gotta be the remote wire. what numbers would you need to help pinpoint the problem. would the remote wire HU output voltage help the most?
yeah. It's gotta be between the fuse and the distro. Try pulling your power wire out and putting the meter directly on the wire and see what that reads. If that is low, its has to be the wire between the fuse and distro.
damnit, i was hopin i wouldn't have to pull it...gotta take the seats and sh!t out. what the hell could be the problem in between the fuse and the distro... power wire cut?! idk how that could even happen
hmm. just run a whole new wire and see if that solves your problem. never had it happen but my dad said it is possible for a fuse to go bad but still allow current to flow through it.
you need a relay to run your REM wires to everything.. i had the same problem.. easy fix.. basically your REM wire off the h/u does not supply enough voltage to power on everything your trying to hook up hence the need of a good power source.. a relay will fix all your problems and fix turn on/off thump if you have it
well that's the thing kev. i've had everything hooked up for 3 months absolutely no problems...then all of the sudden, last monday, it conks out on me. so my first thought was a lack of sufficient voltage going into the amps/eq....not the case....i hooked up a relay but it changed nothing. i dont even know what to do anymore.
