If your Lightning Audio Car Receiver isn't turning on, here's what you can check: * **Blown fuse:** Inspect the unit's fuse and replace it if necessary with one of the correct rating. * **Vehicle's ignition:** If wired as per the instructions, the unit won't function when the ignition is off. * **Voltage Issues:** Ensure the voltage applied to the Red and Yellow wires is between 10.8 and 16 volts. Check the battery, connections, and fuses, and repair or replace them as needed. If the voltage exceeds +16 volts, get your electrical system checked by a certified car service center. * **Grounding:** Verify the unit is properly grounded and repair any wiring issues.
