The problem is I do not know what wire turns the amp on on the amp connector. The wire for the remote on is the blue/white off the radio.

Use the blue and white wire off the radio. Should turn on the amp when you turn on the radio. If not do as Haze suggested. Orange and White wire off the headlight harness.

I do not know what wire in the harness it connects to, that is the issue. The amp has no connections but the harley interface harness that I posted earlier. I know what wire off the radio and it gets 12v when I turn the radio on. The harley harness is the issue, identifying the wire.

The Amp uses the Harley Harness. Gets 2 battery power, 2 grounds, 1 CAN + and 1 CAN - plus all the speakers (4 in total). That is all the wires on the harness that connect to the amp. There are no other connections on the amp, just where the harness connects. My new radio has an amp remote connection blue/white wire on it but I have no idea what on the harness it connects to.

Make sense now?

Yes and all works but the amp. If I disconnect the speakers from the amp it works. The head unit has a blue/white wire that is for remote amp but it is not part of the harness, it is separate on the radio. What I need to know and maybe it does not even have it though most amps do, is what is the remote power on the Harley Harman Kardon factory amp HD P/N 76160-06B.
