Amp REM to ???

Apex2Apex · 12-30-2015, 01:11 PM

My car sat for five days while on vacation and now the battery is dead. My only guess (since it's a 2015 and 5 months old) is that I connected the REM cable wrong when me and a buddy did the install and the amp is not powering off when the car is off. Anyone know which factory cable it should be connected to?

I appreciate the help!

first and foremost, LOOK and see if the amp is lit up when key is off. if it in fact is, check the stickies here, there are diagrams of the factory harness in a few of those threads. you should be connected to switched 12v, not BAT + In an aftermarket harness ( as in coming off an aftermarket head unit, they are typically blue, or blue with white stripe)

You nailed it.
