Hi guys,

Im new to this forum, recently bought a seciento sporting and today tried to wire in an amp and sub. Ive done it before so i thought everything was going smoothly until i tested the stereo to see if the sub would kick in and it didnt. I then tried turning the engine on but it wont start. Anyone got any ideas, do you think its the power lead connectd to the battery?!

is it turning over?
did you have the stereo on for long?

the stereo was on for about 3 mins just to test if the sub would kick in but it didnt. sorry whats tickin over?

turning over.as in the starter turning.does the code light on the dash go out if you leave the key in for a few seconds?

when i turn the key lights come on and within a second they all go out and the engine doesnt start

sure you havent dislodged a red wire from the battery that goes behind the engine?
just wondering if the starter doesnt turn

thanks...will have to check tomorrow morning to see. also im not getting any power to my amp so i guess the remote lead to my headunit isnt connected properly. is this likely to be the case do you reckon. all i did was find a blue lead from the adapter at the back of the headunit and tried conneting it to that

try connecting an ignition live(one on the iso lead)to check it powers up.
if so then ensure oyu have the correct cable on the loom

Interior light run down battery!?Try jumpstarting/recharge battery.

hey got my engine running again it needed jumpstarting so i must have run the battery down. Still cant get my amp power light to turn on. I have a feeling that its got something to do with the remote blue lead going to my headunit. Anyone know how where this is supposed to connect to. Thanks

do as i said in the previous post. you can even connect it (temporarily)to the amp live. his way if the amp powers up you know its the signal wire.
if not check things such as the earth.
where did you earth it too?

i earthed to a bolt not painted over or anything seems to be fine. sorry im new to all this so not sure where you are asking me to temporalily wire up to on the iso loom

not on the iso loom.just run power from the amp +(on the amp)to the REM connection on the amp.
all this does is tell the amp to turn on. if the amp powers up then you know the problem is with the remote wire connection on the loom. if not then the prob is elsewhere

Just tried it but no the light still didnt come on checked thye grounding to and that seemed to be ok

well its either the live or earth.assume you dont have a multi meter?
if you havent aready then earth it to one of the fuel pump cover bolts under the rear seat.

hey guys thanks for your help. i got a multimeter and checked connections etc and process of elimination showed me that it was a blown fuse so everything works now however i didnt charge my battery for long enough so testing the sub has made it go flat again so will have to jump start it tomorrow, charge it up a bit. would you recommend uprating the battery at all
