Does anyone know if this is true? Meaning I should just connect the amp to the battery? zmame Veteran / Moderator Mar 7, 2016, 12:18 PM Post #2 of 3 (1419 views) Re: Quick question Sign In Make sure your are the correct side of the solenoid (the side with constant power). You should have no power delivery problems at that point. Check your ground make sure it's clean and proper gauge wire. Also check the blue switching wire for the amp if i remember correctly that also has to have power to it for the amp to power up. Usually its connected to sub control wire on aftermarket stereo's that support it. Make sure inline & amp fuse is good too. neileo User Mar 7, 2016, 12:36 PM Post #3 of 3 (1414 views) Re: Quick question Sign In It's on the right side because my light bar receives the constant power so I'll check the blue wire and make sure it's connected right, last time I checked all three fuses were good as well   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
