What would cause an AMP not to work?
If the remote turn-on wire doesn’t have power, your amp won’t turn on. If the remote and power wires both check out okay, the next thing to look for is continuity on the ground wire. If the ground connection is poor, or it isn’t connected at all, the amp may fail to turn on or not work very well.
Why does my amp not turn on when I plug it in?
If you are seemingly not getting any power to the amp, then you are talking fuses, power cord or power transformer. Now the latter is unlikely, and a bad fuse is still the must likely culprit. If you just visually checked the fuse, then you didn’t really check it.
How can I tell if my amp has a blown fuse?
Also, listen for any noises the amp makes, since that could also help you determine the source of the problem. Car amps, for example, often have a green power LED light and a red “protect” light. The protect light often means a blown fuse, so you know to check the wiring when you see it.
What’s the best way to troubleshoot an amp in a car?
Turn off the power supply before handling the fuse. Make sure you deactivate the amp first. If you’re troubleshooting a car amp, turn off the car’s engine and remove the ignition key. Otherwise, unplug the amp from the wall. Always turn off the electricity before handling fuses or exposed wires.
Why does my Behringer AMP not power up?
I have an A500 Behringer power amp that will not power up. I replaced the power cord and fuse with known working ones, with no result. Next, I took the fuse I tested in it and plugged it back into a working amp of the same model, which ran fine (so I know the amp isn’t just killing fuses).

What to do if your amplifier is not receiving power?
If it is not receiving power check the connections for both the power wire and the ground wire at any point they could come loose (grounding bolt, distribution/fuse block, outboard fuse holder, battery connection, etc.). Is the amplifier receiving a turn on signal?
