the amp's rem wire should have bben connected 2 ur decks rem wire (usually blue with a white stripe) . This turns the amp on when the deck is turned on - the way they did it ur battery will drain out ...... |

if your worried about it the best bet would be to take it in to a shop and they should fix it without a huge fee. because its just takin your HU out and switchin the wires. it's up to you. |

Try finding a fuse in youre fusebox that only has power when the vehicle is on. (go to autozone and get a cheap fuse checker ~$5.00) most fuses are labeled dont mess with any major fuses i.e fuel system ect. with the vehicle off find a 10-15 or less sized fuse stick the fuse tester on one of the metal tabs on top of the fuse if it lights try another you want one that does not light when the car is off when you do put the wire in the right side of the fuse.I dont know if it is really needed but I put a small fuse in mine when it was connected to my fuse box. If you have a nice head unit you should have it connected to that if it is a factory unit I would be hitting ebay. |

is that an aftermarket radio? normally it has nothing to do with the radio turning on and off. The remote wire can be ran from the amp(remote term) to the fuse block(switched power) or behind the radio(prefered method if aftermarket radio) If sounds like the radio may not be hooked up right if it was put in alos, the red and yellow wire maybe crossed or on the same wire. |
