sorry to be a pain again...
i got everything hooked up with my amp and subs but i can't get my remote wire to work, i've tested and spliced it into 2 of the wires behind the stereo and they've both cut in and out. one worked at low volume but would cut out past about 1/4 of the way up.
it can't be the amp because if i bridge the remote to the positive it works just fine...

do i possibly have a bad remote wire?
where did you guys wire yours to?

passenger side fuse box. get an add-a-circuit and put it to your windshield wiper fuse

timmhimself

alright thanks!

I have a question on that, Which side of the WW fuse is the fused (output) side of the fuse?

save yourself a headache and putting more stress on the electrical. get one on these mini add-a-circuit http://www.sportsimportsusa.com/miatmfua.html

you can get them at your local auto parts store!

Maetrix

I'm already heavily invested in these, LOL

timmhimself

is there a certain size i should be looking for?

mini ATM fuse add-a-circuit. make sure they are the mini ATM fuses.

timmhimself

alright cool. thanks.

problem...when i plug it into the wiper fuse i get no power what so ever and my wipers no longer work. i tried it on other fuses and i get power the only problem is they're all constants...

it almost sounds like the Positive and Remote wires are connected backwards. Like he's trying to give it power from the Remote output of the Headunit. Double check your connections at the Amp, and What head unit do you have? (what wires are you trying to use off it?)

if hes hooking up the remote to random wires in the stock radio harness probably not. but i do see where ur going with that ss.... its hard to fully understand wtf hes talking about.

Be warned there is no acc or remote in the stock harness. you might be taping ur GM LAN wire and one mistake and your computer is fried... tread softly my friend

SS SCHGD

there is definately something goofy going on there...I would have someone else (that knows what there doing) check out the harness and connections.

i got the bone stock head unit (single cd, am/fm stereo), i'm not tapping off of that. i tried the ATM add a fuse in the wiper fuse and its not working. i decided to try the AMP fuse and it did work but its a constant circuit so i can't use that.
i have the remote wire hooked up to the RMT port on the amp and the positive to the 12v...

try the sunroof fuse

hedtrnr

thats what i have mine running off of. took a lil time but mines running off the sunroof fuse

timmhimself

i don't have a sunroof...

M&CBlackSS

my remote wire is hooked up to the power windows and works fine try that

Maetrix

But the fuse location should still have power, right??

I mean, this is GM, they don't have multiple harnesses for different configurations.

timmhimself

that what i figure but wasn't sure, if it weren't nasty out i would have already been out trying it.
i'll give it a shot when it stops raining.

my 05 had a sunroof fuse but no sunroof....and it worked just fine. (although I think I used a relay in that car cause I ran some other stuff off it. But the Sunroof fuse has enough juice to turn on my amp and run the sunroof in the SS. (and the amp is OLD!)
