the remote wire, take a test light and see if there is power when you turn the radio on. it should be hooked up to behind the radio if you have an aftermarket radio, and if not it can go to the fuse block on a switched fuse, like the radio fuse.

the rem should be wired to the HU rem lead. Try jumping the rem. Use a small oiece of wire from the amps power to the amps rem terminal. Does it turn on? If so recheck the rem connections at the HU. If not, recheck the power wire. and ground connections. Power should come straight from the battery. Ground amp with in 18 inches of amp to clean bare metal. and rem from HU to rem terminal on amp.
