Car sat in heavy heavy rain for about 6 hours today during work. Got in car, Started it up it ran like shit for about 5 seconds and turned off. Tried to start it right back up and it immediately shut off. 3rd time the service wrench popped up and said see manual. Ran my scanner and got a...
I had this after having a stereo installed. It was The way the remote wire was wired into the factory wiring. I had to run a separate remote wire to a fuse in the fuse box and that resolved it for me in a 16 gt

Amp: alpine pdxf6 4channel
Speakers: 2x kicker ksc654
System has worked flawless since install (6 months) the other day I was driving listening to talk radio at volume 7-10ish (22 is max) about 5 mins into my drive the whole system made a loud pop and drivers side...
Should I assume that since I can't get a reading I am drawing more than 10 amps ? Seems like my battery would drain a lot more than it is if that was the case.
Well I know the fuses in both dmms work because I was able to test on 2 other vehicles a Mercedes and a Nissan but for whatever reason I cannot get a reading on my mustang.
2nd. When doing the test on the amp what kind of draws should I be seeing between the power wire and the amp ?
I was just referring to the Volts I'm getting at the amps. I was doing the parasitic test in amps.
So to do the test with the amps is it the same theory? Take the power out of the amp and test between the wire and amp ?
The battery doesnt drain all the way but over night it'll go from...
My remote wire is tapped into a fuse labeled as "switches, power windows, rear view mirror". None of the amps lights remain on after the car is off. They turn off instantly.
How would I test at the amps of they are drawing power ? At the input leads I am getting the same voltage as the...
I believe a newly installed car stereo is draining my battery. All my Amps appear off but I think my remote wire is connected to a constant source and even though everything is off its still draining battery.
I've tried on 2 different DMMs on the positive and negative side and cannot get a reading. Something about mustangs that I am missing ? I have triple checked my dmm settings and tested on other vehicles.
Vehicle is 16 mustang gt base factory battery.
From what I understand or was told is that the base model does not have an amp it runs strictly from the HU. Is there alternative method to wire into the HU ?
May not be the solution to your specific issue but I use invisible glass and news paper and its cleaned everything with no issues. Micro fibers never work for me. And always do it when the windows are cool.
For future reference if anyone has this setup with the same issue. You can turn the gto feature off and run the remote wire from fuse 23 in the passenger footwell fuse box to the lc2i remote in.
Right now on the lc2i I have a remote wire out going to my Amps. Once your confirm the fuse number I plug that into the remote wire in and turn the gto(smart sense) feature off. Simple as that ?
I looked it up fuse 23 is a 10 amp fuse for power windows. Rear view mirror.
Would that work ?
And just run the remote wire from that fuse to my amps ?
When I unlock the car and open the door the stereo makes 4 quick thump sounds.

What I have installed is 2 alpine amps. A pdx m12 and pdx f6, 15" idmax d4 woofer, 4 kicker ksc65, and lc2i.
What could I take. A look at to try and fix this ? I didn't do...
