amp troubleshooting help

[cougarprophet]

i posted this in the a/e section but i'll post here to in hopes of finding an answer.

resently my amps been having trouble turning on and today it turned on then just turned off.....i think it may be a switch i have as a kill switch ...at least i hope it is....i pulled over and the speakler wires were not touching so it wasnt that and i didnt smell fried electronics wen i removed the amp so i dont think ( fingers crossed) that its dead ...all the fuses look good.....

so im thinking that maybe a wire came loose on the kill switch or that its completely dead..... its to cold right now to spend hrs troubleshooting it so before i go back out i would love to have more of an idea whats wrong

the amp is still under warranty and i know the shop will replace it no questions asked but if it is something on my end i would love to get it fixed.....any subjestions would be welcomed....

Check the switch, if it's okay run another wire to your amp and see if it works. If it does you might have a short in your power wire.

thanks maverickflyer for the comment.. i drove home for the w/e and had a look at the wireing and it turns out that the trigger wire from the h/u was fread and was sending multiple hits out...so it would turn the amp on and off randomly...or not turn on at all..... its fixed and runnin fine :biggrin:

thanks again
