I have installed an aftermarket amp in my 2001 monte carlo, but I can’t seem to find the REM wire to connect to the amp. I have tried running a wire from the radio fuse to the amp it’s self but that didn’t work either. I am running out of ideas. Can anyone help me figure out what I might be doing wrong? The car is equip with OnStar-all of those wires are disconnected. Also I am using the power wire that was to the old stock amp/booster, maybe it is not getting enough power?
Marcus, technically you could connect your 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo amplifier turn on wire to the radio switched 12v+ wire. That way your amplifier is on whenever your 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is on and off whenever your 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is off. Just make sure to run an in-line fuse holder with a 1-amp fuse on the amplifier turn on wire. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
I have installed an after market radio to my car everthing works but my turn signals and hazards anyone know what it could be.
what color radio switched for 2001 chevy monte carlo
Marcus, the radio switched wire is the yellow wire. Hope this helps. Good luck on your radio installation.
I have a 2001 chevy monte carlo and there is a static noise comming out of the left front speaker without the
car or radio on. Does anyone know what this could be?
I have a 2001 Monte Carlo. My radio only works when it wants to. Everything is factory. Most of the time it does not work, but will cut in every once in a great while. It turns on, shows station and song on the screen, but no sound. Anyone know what this could be?
Paul, first double check ALL your fuses and make sure ALL your fuses are good. You can do this by using an Automotive Fuse Tester and making sure all of your fuses are not blown. If all of your fuses are good, your 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo stereo or factory amplifier (if equipped) may be faulty. We suggest you take your car to an experienced audio installer and have them troubleshoot your problem. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo radio troubleshooting.
I have a 2002 chevrolet monte carlo ss. I’m putting in an aftermarket radio and I want to use my factory amp. So my questions are: can I wire the amp into rca hookups that are found on the back of my radio? Also what are the positive and negative colors of the amp writing? Anyone? Thank you.
