Hi all, I?ve been stumped on an annoying electrical gremlin that my car has had for two years now. I wired in my amp remote switch to the power antenna switch so that the amp kicks on whenever the stereo is on. This worked beautifully for a few years but then intermittently it started cutting out. It is now to the point that I do not get power at the pink wire back by the antenna at all except when I bump the terminals for the constant power wire against the remote switch wire. This solves the problem for a short time before I lose power again. Has anyone else had this issue or know what might be causing it? I?ve traced the pink wire up to my dash and cannot find any issues or damage to it; I also can?t explain why it works for a time after tapping the live wire to the switch wire, thoughts? Suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
PS, someone on ls1tech recommended that I splice into the yellow ignition wire for constant power when ignition is on, I tried this and it worked only briefly before popping fuses each time the car was started. Ground issue perhaps? Does anyone know where the stereo ground wire is attached to a ground?
