21 Road Glide Amp problem
Good morning,
Installed a new system in my bike and at first connection to the battery, the amp is always on.
I have a Maestro AHD2 wiring harness, a Rockford DSR1, and a SD 1200.4 Amp.
I have the harness blue and white wire hooked up to amp turn on. But the power light is always on the amp.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob

I traced it back from the harness of the Maestro AHD2 and it is connected, the blue/white wire is tied into the amp turn on.
I double checked the DSR1 Firmware to ensure it is up to date, still no go.
Any other thoughts?

-- remove remote wire from amp to make sure amp off. Rule out amp issue
--By-pass DSP and run remote wire from harness to amp. To see if DSP is causing issue.

I think the problem is with the DSR1. I disconnected the remote on wire and the amp still remained on. I then disconnected the input side of the Maestro wiring harness and the amp remained on. Then I disconnected the output side of the DSR1 (using the RCA plugs) and the amp then shut off. The ignition switch was still in the off position at this point as well. I hooked up the DSR1 and confirmed it was up to date on its firmware.
Would you agree that it looks like it could be a bad DSR1?

This sounds more like a possible amp issue to me.
To confirm, you have a SD 1200.4 EVOX? (not the SD 1200.4D EVO)
You removed the blue/white remote power output on the DSR1 from the amp (REM on the amp) and the amp stayed on?
What is the input switch on the DSR1 set as? (HIGH or LOW?)
Not saying this is related (yet) but some time back I think there were quality issues with SD 1200.4. Here's the thread.

According to the Maestro AHD2 details it's not for the GTS head unit.I have a 20 road glide with a dsr-1 & SD1200X4 with no problem

In Crutchfield details for that harness. : The iDatalink Maestro HRN-AR-HD2 T-harness lets you add a Rockford Fosgate DSR1 digital signal processor and aftermarket amplifiers (both sold separately) to your compatible Harley-Davidson bike with factory non-GTS radio.I also called them when I saw your post to verify fit.
