I just bought a 2002 blazer. I spent forever trying to hook up my system and after a few hours I finally got it to work. It worked for about 5 min. then the bass shut off, then the amp, then the whole car. My car wont start and when I turn the key its silent (every once in a while ill hear clicking). I took everything apart and the car still wont start. If anyone has any ideas what the problem could be I would appreciate your input.

sounds like you shorted the +12 to the ground without a fuse and drained your battery

I put a fuse in and grounded it, I think I might have messed something up when I pulled out the receiver to connect the power connection wire.

There is a fuse next to the battery attached to the power wire that runs from the amp to the battery. I grounded the amp.

oh right, I thought you said you fused the power wire and then grounded it to the chassis, haha
Still sounds like something is grounding out somewhere though

I unhooked everything for my system and put my car back together, but there is still no power. It sucks

my friend is having the same problem.. i have a feeling it is the remote turn on wire.. might have shorted in the head unit.. which would actually have destroyed the head unit.. its rare.. but when you try everything else.. then..

well if your battery is drained you're going to have to recharge it, unplugging everything won't do a thing

I still had some power (dashlights) until about an hour ago. Now the battery is completely dead.
