without the remote lead the amp wont turn on, i had a problem with the remote lead grounding under the plastci trim, a bolt went through it, lol. use a multimeter and work your way back to isolate the problem.

yes it will as the amp won't turn on without the headunit telling it to do so via the remote lead.

this happened with my amp and remote lead, so i put the remote lead from the amp to one of the two power leads from the back of the head unit, so when you turn your car on, the head unit turns on with the amp. i think its just the same as the remote wire but i think mines fcuked!
