Troubleshooting

Before you contact your Fusion dealer or service center, you should perform a few simple troubleshooting steps 
to help diagnose the problem.
If the Fusion amplifier has been installed by a professional installation company, you should contact the 
company so a technician can assess the problem and advise you about possible solutions.

There is no sound, and the POWER LEDs are off

• Check the amplifier turn-on wire connection to the stereo or switch, and tighten or re-connect all wires, if 

needed (

Connecting to Power, page 5

).

NOTE: The amplifier and the stereo must connect to a common ground for the amplifier turn-on signal to 
function properly.

• Check the fuse or circuit breaker on the power cable (near the battery), and replace the fuse or reset the 

breaker, if needed.

• Check the fuses on the amplifier, and replace all blown fuses, if needed. If a fuse has blown, the red PROT 

LED will be on.

• Check the power and ground cable connections, and tighten or re-connect all cables, if needed.
• Make sure the power is connected correctly according to the wiring diagram and directions.
• Make sure the supply voltage is the proper voltage for your amplifier.
• Make sure you are using the appropriate gauge for the length of the power cable run, and replace the cable 

with a thicker gauge, if needed (

Power Cable Gauge Guide, page 6

).

There is no sound, and the POWER LEDs are on

• Check the settings on the stereo, and make sure the appropriate zone out or subwoofer out signals are 

enabled.
NOTE: See your stereo owner's manual for more information on enabling or configuring output signals.

• Make sure the stereo is powered on and the volume is not set too low.
• Check the RCA cable connections to the stereo, and re-connect all disconnected cables, if needed.
• Check the LEVEL setting for the zone on the amplifier and the max volume setting for the zone on the stereo, 

and increase the LEVEL on the amplifier or the max volume on the stereo, if needed (

Adjusting the Level for a 

Zone, page 13

).

• Check the speaker wire connections, and re-connect all disconnected wires, if needed.
• Check the power cables to make sure they are the appropriate gauge, are fused, and are connected properly 

(

Connecting to Power, page 5

).

One POWER LED is on, but the other POWER LED is off

• Check the fuses on the side of the amplifier where the POWER LED is off, and replace all blown fuses.
