What "converter" are you talking about, and where do you have this "converter" hooked up to. Also... do you have the "remote on" wire hooked up to the amp?

I think he is referring to the Line output Converter

if you have the scoche line output converter, and you're running an aftermarket amp, you need to make sure you connect the ground corectly, and change the position of the black tab on the side!

Also, as mentioned, be sure you have connected the remote on on the amp, to the correct wire on the factory harness!

i'm not sure about the acc wire, is that what they told you to ground it to??

isnt the remote wire usually blue?

yes, the remote wire is blue for all aftermarket setups... not necessarily on the factory harness!
