2 amps getting power + remote, not turning on.

Recommended Posts

I can't for the life of me figure this one out. 
The power and grounds are both good according to my DMM.
The remote wire is getting power (0.1-0.2v) 
The remote wire is hooked to the blue and white wire.
I've tried 2 amps, 2 fuses, and 2 capacitors.

DEX-6900BT Pioneer radio
Hifonics ZRX3216.1D Zeus and also tried Skar Audio RP-2000.1D (thought the amp was bad).

All the other speakers and such work, so totally at a loss.

Remote wire should have 12v not .1v....

Ok. So what does that mean?

It's hooked straight to the radio, and I've replaced the wire once. I have actually had 3 different radios in the system also.

You could check your voltage at the radio. I've had a radio only put out 6v and I just tapped into my switched from the ignition. Not a good way to do it but in a pinch. Might be better to use a switch instead of ignition switched.

It should be a solid blue wire if I'm not mistaking

I Did a quick search and I think that is the only wire available (blue and white) so disregard my last message.. that wire should have an output of 12v. I have a similar model pioneer in my work car, if i remember correctly, if you dig thru the settings there is a setting where u can manually shut down remote wire

3 different radios and still no power? Or is it just this current pioneer radio acting up?

Jump a wire from your power to your remote on the amps. This will help us troubleshoot if your amps work. This is just a test so do not leave it connected cause it will drain your battery as your amp wont shutoff. Once you do that let us know.

Unplug the other first in case something is grounded out...
