Why is my new amp going into protection mode?
Some amps go into protect mode if they get too hot, which can prevent a permanent failure. The common cause of overheating is a lack of airflow. If the amp is located underneath the seats, or in another confined space, that may cause it to overheat.
How to stop start in battery protection mode?
2018 2dr. Rubi Go to the fuse box (power distribution center) next to the main battery and take the cap off. Now, press down firmly on every fuse and relay in there. You will find fuses and relays there that are not seated properly. Now, trickle charge your JL.
What to do when your amp goes into Protect Mode?
If the voltage remains near or above 12v but the amp still goes into protect mode, disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp and disconnect signal cables from the amp.
When does the protect led go off in an amplifier?
Notes: Many amplifiers will illuminate their protect LED during the mute delay (when you initially power up the amplifier). After a short delay (2-10 seconds), the protect LED will go off. For those amplifiers this is normal. Other amplifiers ONLY illuminate the protect LED when there is a problem.
What should I do if my amp fuses are blown?
Not many amplifiers will illuminate the protection light when the fuses are blown but a few will so you need to check this. If the fuse holders are melted, you need to have the amp checked by a technician to determine why they melted and to determine if the fuse holders are usable.

What happens when a fuse holder melts down?
Generally, when the fuse holder melts, the contacts become badly oxidized and the clips lose their tempering. This means that they can no longer function properly and will continue to overheat. For those who don’t know what a blown fuse looks like, the one on the left below is blown. The one on the right is OK. Step 2 B+ and Remote Voltage:
