Remote wire piece is loose how to fix - Rockford Fosgate 100a2 Car Audio Amplifier

Remotes fail for about 4 different reasons and most can usually be fixed:

1. batteries bad or cause rust etc on contacts, or contacts do not hold batteries tight.

2. Liquid sometimes gets spilled on front where the buttons are--it is a one piece mat and if liquid gets under the buttons do not work or some do not work.

3. Remote gets dropped--usually this breaks a connection or part loose from the circuit board inside.

4. Remote not programmed for unit being used on.

different approach for each---which describes your problem?

The remote can be tested by any shop to see if sending a signal or not.

unplug the device for a moment, then plug it back in, try to start it up and also from the remote control.

let me know if it works.

FYI this is now a free dealer fix--Service Bulletin--not a recall. chevy sent letters reregarding issue. Mine was the lock cylinder housing was faulty, the piece that holds the springs to the pieces in for the key shape poped out. temp fix is you can unplug wiring harness under steer wheel to disable the car and remote will still lock door and alarm still works. Of course mine went out on a saturday afternoon. you can remove the lock cylinder yourself and take to locksmith, they can fix the cylinder probably for under 10 bucks. i luv it a 16000 car stuck because 1/8" by 1/2" piece of metal comes loose.

It's possible it can be fixed. Ours also no longer clicked. I took it apart and found that the flat plastic piece in the handle that activates the circuitry in the base had broken away from the rocker piece in the base. Fortunately the same flat plastic piece conveniently had a couple of holes in it in a helpful location. I looped some wire through the holes and also around the bottom rocker piece to hold the two pieces together.
I reassembled the kettle and tried it out and it now works fine! Problem fixed.
To disassemble, take the four screws out of the bottom of the kettle. (You'll need the appropriate star bits to do so.) Put those screws in a safe location... Lift off the bottom plate.
Now, the plastic for the handle is held in place by the typical notched clasps used by so many plastic appliances. You unsnap the clasps by CAREFULLY inserting a straight blade screw driver between the handle plastic and the kettle and GENTLY prying the handle plastic away from the kettle. You'll hear the internal clasps "popping" as they snap loose. You CANNOT take the handle all the way off this way. You just loosen it. Now, the top of the handle is a separate piece. Do the same for this. The top will pop completely off.
Next, GENTLY remove the lid. You can slide it a bit up and away. It's a tight fit, so you need to use a little force, but not too much.
Once you've done this, there are two metal pins that hold the main part of the handle to the kettle. They have a little ridge around the top that you can use to pry them out with your fingernail. Once those pins are removed, the handle will simply come off.
BE CAREFUL! The various parts in the handle are now loose! If you aren't careful they'll fall off and you'll have to figure out how to reassemble them.
Now, you'll notice the long flat plastic piece running down the side of the kettle. That piece was hidden behind the handle. It is SUPPOSED to be fastened to a rocker plate at the bottom. If you look at the end of the flat piece at the bottom you will likely see what I did. It had just disconnected from the rocker plate. Take some wire and wire the two pieces together using the little hole-like slots at the end of the flat piece. Just loop the wire through the hole and down around the rocker plate piece exposed inside where the handle is.
While applying this wire, it will be helpful to put a little masking tape across the various handle pieces to keep them from falling off. This is important because you'll probably be wiring the pieces together with the kettle on its side like I did, and the parts will fall off if you aren't careful. When you are done wiring things together you just remove the tape.
Once you've done this, reassemble the kettle in the reverse order you disassembled it.
You'll notice that once you've wired together the two separated pieces, pressing the switch on the top pulls up on the flat plastic piece which pulls the rocker plate which closes the circuit in the base.

Contact Paloma/Rheem 866-720-2076. Super nice! I just called regarding mine. Having same problem Rheem Paloma sending parts out tomorrow overnite.

You can try using a little bit of Loctite Handyman Glue if the rubber piece is the only thing that is loose. if the wires themselves are loose inside the controller, i would suggest buying a New/Used controller instead opening it up yourself (unless you work on controllers and other small computerized objects)

your door lock actuator is worn out or loose wire or poor contact.

i think you may need the nintendo tri wing screwdriver, i had to buy one too! can get them lots online shops but far the cheapest is www.dealextreme.com, less than a pound and free shipping.

I cant help you fix the remote wire problem but your alternator whining could be a loose, worn or over tightened belt or the bearings inside the alternator are worn(More than likely the problem) and in which case get the alternator rebuilt or buy a new alternator

Sounds like the wires inside got pulled loose or broke. Replace the speaker wires or check them good for connection.
