When i went to install my remote wire from my amplifier i hit the wire with my knife. the radio shut off and now it wont turn on. i checked all wires and fuses. did i blow a circuit in my radio? do i have to get a new one?

REM wire connects to the REM wire at the back of the aftermarket head unit. REM stands for remote and is typically a blue wire. Hope this helps, if you need further assistance I would be happy to help you. Please feel free to contact me at:

Hi. Your jeep may have an amplifier that you need to figure out which wires are considered "extra" to the radio harness. Typically, it's a separate ground and a separate "remote" wire. THis remote wire tells the amplifier to TURN ON when your radio is turned on.

Hi Toxey.

Does your trunk amplifier got power.
basically amp need remote power input it is coming from your radio.
please check when you turn on the radio remote power must turn on.
if no it is radio problem or wire is damaged itself.
please check the outputs,speakers with multimeter or single 1.5v cell.
if power is ok.and the remote on signal is ok your device still not working , it is the problem with power amplifier unit.

please check and let us know the status.
regards.

Hi.

If there is popping sound and the fuse blows when the radio is flickering, then it is usually a short in the stereo wiring. The short results in excessive power draw and blows the main fuse. The radio must be removed to check the wiring behind. In some less common case the radio itself may be shorted inside becuse a defective PSU. If you have installed an amplifier check also that the problem is not the amplifier ordinary power draw, in that case the problem is fixed installing a capacitor in the amplifier power wiring.

check the connection to constant (usually yellow wire). Also check the remote wire (usually red) make sure they are both hooked up to where they need to be

If it is not a factory stereo, it would be the blue wire, you can also connect amp wire straight up to red which is also the ign. wire for the radio. That way the amp will turn on with key also.

If you have a factory stereo, you can go to www.installer.com and get a free complete wiring diagram

the remote wire is for remote operation of an amplifier the new radio has one because they assume that you will install subwoofers, amps etc, that wire is a reference voltage wire for a relay inside the amp


Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/fred_d91756720d807512

The best place is the rear of the radio where there should either be an orange antena wire or a blue remote wire comming from the radio.
