Damn remote wire!! Help Please.......
So I've spent a large amount of time wiring up a new amp and sub set up on my sisters explorer (xmas present) and everthing is done, but the remote wire is no working, I had it on the wrong wire (illumination) so switched to the yeallow and black ingnition 12v wire and it still isn't working. Its a new amp and I even tested it on my setup and it works.
Anyone got an idea as to why the remote wire is still not working or had the same prob?
Thanks for the input in advance.......
FIXED NOW< THANKS

First, jump 12v constant over to the remote input at the amp and make sure the amp works. If the amp works use a multimeter to test if the head unit is producing 12v to the remote wire while the ignition is on. If there is no 12v then the head unit is not producing a remote signal. In this case you could tap into the wire that tells your head unit to turn on and connect that to the remote wire.

Got it fixed, just so tired that I forgot I had had the person helping me take the fuse outta the power wire so I could disconnect it and lay it down without having sparks fly. So it the remote wire works now on the yellow and black wire like it by all means should. Thanks for the help though.
Put in 2 10 infinity reference, sealed box, and sony xplod 1600w amp, sounds pretty good, nothing crazy though.
