Well i did check and it is sitting all the way in the sled.
Let's be absolutely clear about this: Going into standby, and acting like it's not getting enough power, those are two completely different behaviors. Which behavior are you getting? Describe in detail what happens to the player. For instance, does it stay turned off or does it come back on after a while? Is there a "pop" sound from your speakers when it goes off? Is the behavior intermittent, or is it 100 percent reproducible?
ok. It goes in and out of standby. blinking led and then comes on and plays music. no battery icon.
no pop, but it does shut the amp down. 100% reproducible.
When you say "movement" do you mean rocking the car back in forth in one place by pushing on it, or do you mean the wheels have to be turning? Is it the slightest movement, or does it have to be a powerful lurching of the car to make a difference? Is it the act of taking off the parking brake or placing the car into gear that does it?
i cant get the car to rock enough to do it but letting the ebrake go and have the car move is backwards or forwards is enough to make it do it.
Next question: How is the player amplified, and how is it wired up, especially with regard to the amp remote wire and the ignition wire? What exactly are those lines connected to?
i do have a small (read 200w) amp that was going to go in place. however for trouble shooting i have pulled that out.
the aux power is provided by ford via a cigarette female end.175w /30amp line.
If you disconnect the empeg completely and just put a multimeter on either of those lines, can you get the voltage on either of those lines to change by moving the car?
ill have to get some alligator clips and have somone ride along and read it out.
im going to try taking out the pins and looking at them even though i tugged on it for hours to see if i could do it.
