How to fix a Clarion Car Stereo System when the power does not turn on?

Why is there no sound output when operating Clarion CX501E with amplifiers or power antenna attached?
If you hear no sound from your Clarion Car Stereo System, and you have amplifiers or a power antenna attached, the power antenna lead might be shorted to ground, or there might be excessive current required for remote-on the amplifiers or power antenna. To resolve this: 1. Turn the unit off. 2. Remove all wires attached to the power antenna lead and check each wire for a possible short to ground using an ohm meter. 3. Turn the unit back on. 4. Reconnect each amplifier remote wire to the power antenna lead one by one. If the amplifiers turn off before all wires are attached, use an external relay to provide remote-on voltage (excessive current required).
