Ok,
earlier today i was workin in my car with my amp. stuipd me, was messing with the connection of the REM wire (remote to turn the amp on) at the amp end with the car on. the other side is into the drivers side fuse box labled "ignition". anyways i try canking my car and it wont, so i look and of course the fuse is burnt. replace it and everything is fine. not to long after this my battery light comes on(right next to where the brake light is when you ebrake is on). i dont konw if its related or not. does this mean that my alternator may not be putting out enough amperage? is my battery dying? what does this dummy light signify? thanks for any and all help cormudgen |

There is an easier and safer way. Tap off the amps power line at the amp. And not by cutting into the power cable. If it has a crimped end cut it off and install a new one with both wires inside. If there is no end just insert both wires into the amp and tighten the screw. Connect a relay so power will flow from the tap wire to the amps remote only when the relay gets a ground. Finally connect a switch that when on provides ground to the relay. Make sure you use a fuse 1 amp should be enough for the remote. Back to the original problem. Have the alternator checked.. odds are you blew the voltage regulator or the diode pack inside. You might be able to replace both with out changing the alternator but it will probably be eaiser to change the whole thing. " buy a cap from and audio shop it will help relieve stress from ur battery and ur alt " WRONG... caps don't relieve the stress on your charging system. In some cases they can acutally make it worse. All a capacitor does is hide the problem. |
