It sounds like it's going into protect. To be sure it's not the wiring, disconnect all speaker wires from it. If the light still goes out, check the DC voltage on the B+ and remote terminals. Place the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amplifier. If the voltage remains above 11 volts as the amp tries to power up, the output transistors are almost certainly shorted causing the amp to go into protect.

change out the fan if cant find one specifically 4 that amp get a fan from a old amp or computer and use it there easy 2 switch out or even modify if it dont fit in the amp just mount it on the out side on the air fins the problem was probably caused by 2 small of a ground or in line fuse is 2 small check spec sheet or manual but the ground should b as short as posible and a bigger wire than the positive wire make shure your fuze in amp is the right size if 2 big it will over heat and fry the amp

check the resistance inside the amp ihave one 2 and they actually burn fast....

the problem is mostly with your audio side of the amp. i have a 800 Rockford punch series amp hooked in series running at about 15 vdc at 2 ohms stable for now. but the amps left front power side transistors overloaded and smoked out, i will be replaceing my mosfets soon. Now on that side your issues apear to be related to the signal side of the amp. when you hooked the amp up tell me breifly did you hook the rca inputs to the back of the sterio and did you select the proper rca inputs for the amp? also note that amps have a potentiomater that can be tuned up or down to allow the volume or wattage to go up or down threw the system. if it's turned all the way down you'll here nothing. but often you'll get a pop sound or quickly see the speaker move a bit. this indicated the signal side of the amp has signal comming in but no output, just look for a turnable small screw inside the amp top or side. and turn up acordingly. note: to much output will damadge your system. not just the amp. ;)

There are several manuals for your amplifier. One for each product model year. Here are the direct download links for each year of manual. They are in PDF format. You will need adobe acrobat installed on your computer to read these files. If you do not have adobe acrobat you can download it at www.adobe.com for free.
