Easy way to check were the problem is take a 6" piece of wire. Unhook the remote wire from your amp. Then hookup your 6" piece of wire to amp remote terminal then take other end and connect to the 12+ terminal. If amp powers up the its in the headunit. If amp does not powerup or goes into protect mode the amp is problem.
The remote amp turn on a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 is the wire that taps on the harness to supply the 12v.
Your amplifier should(hopefully) have an input for a "remote turn on" or some words to that effect. Hopefully your deck has either a "remote turn on" wire or a "power antenna" wire coming out the back of it. If it does, you're in business. Extend it to the "remote turn on" on the amp and you should be good!
As always, either the power antenna or the remote turn-on for an amplifier.
No, example- If the wire is blue with a white strip, (which is your remote wire for the amp turn-on) the wire is blue, the strip is not the color.
When runing the remote wire to the positive on,your amp it will stay on when the key is on or off but if you run ur remote wire to the radio fuse in ur fuse box it will cut the ampoff when key is off and with key on itll turn amp on
Unless your vehicle has a built in amplifier or your installing an aftermarket one then you can leave it off. A remote wire will turn on an audio accessory if you have one.
no its the red one
it should be the blue and white wire
It is use to turn on external amp
The remote wire on an amp is usually connected to the remote turn-on lead from the head unit or a separate switched power source. This wire sends a signal to the amplifier to turn on or off based on when the head unit is powered on or off. It is typically colored blue on most wiring harnesses.
the remote wire goes into the back of the deck (head unit). it tells the amp to turn on when the deck is powered up, if you don't connect it it will continue to drain power from your battery.
if you are talking about an aftermarket radio's amp turn on wire then without an amp you can just cap it off. if the harness used to connect to new radio to your factory wires has a blue antenna/factory amp then you can connect it to that provided the new radio doesnt have a second blue wire for that purpose.
