Default Hog tunes amp install-no power

Any ideas on what I may have missed?Spent a couple of hours yesterday installing Hog tunes speakers\amp on my '09 SG. Watched the HT video and followed written manual to the T. Can't get the amp to power up. There is a small status lamp on one side and it won't light up. I reinstalled the wiring harness 3 times and still no luck. There is a fuse in the amp head but I can't figure out how to get it out to check it. Bought this brand new from Dr VTwin.

Cool

ensure your batter connection is good. I had to reattatch the ground wire. also make sure your cig lighter fuse is good.

Check your fuse BUT the most likely culprit is a ground and obviously check battery connections.

Default hog tunes amp

Thanks. The lighter is hot and I connected-disconnected the ground to battery wire 3 times. That leaves the fuse. Next step is contact HT I guess.

Check to make sure there is a fuse in the fuse holder near the battery connection. We have seen some harnesses shipping without the 7.5 amp MINI ATO fuse and we have begun checking the kits before they ship to the customer. Also, check to be sure you're getting +12 volts from the orange wire at the amp connector. It not, the "Y" connection at the cig lighter could be bad. Good luck.

Default issue solved

I contacted PEZ and we figured out that it was a fuse missing out of the holder. Also, they are shipping me a new power plug for the amp. Great follow up from them!
