If you have a DMM, then measure the voltage across the power wires. See if you get 12v - 13.8v. Next measure the voltage on the remote wire. There has to be at least 12v there.
Take your remote wire on the amp and touch the pos terminal. It should cause the amp to power up. If it shuts down after 2 seconds, then you have an amp problem. If not, then a remote wire problem.
