Just installed a Bluetooth amp to my car, to clean the dashboard with a blank faceplate, I ran a cable direct to my battery but I am getting the amp to shut down protecting maybe because of an overload since it doesn’t get energy from the regulated board I think. Can anyone confirm if my assumption is correct or if my regulator is not regulating correctly.

Thanks.
I updated the photo. And my wires

But it MIGHT help the entire electrical system...

So, if I see something that I believe is a critical problem I should just let "sleeping dogs lie" if it isn't directly aimed at that issue?
Especially if the solution will be the least expensive thing the OP can do to the car..

This is the Superhawk996 way?

Most of your answers to my questions are NOT on point Sir!
Most of the answers from anyone are not on point.
Doesn't matter to me. I LIKE your posts (at least most of them).
Seldom do you "screw the pooch". You did here.

Having multiple insights into anything is SO much better than having just one or two...

I've "fixed" more "un-killable by anyone else" electrical gremlins with two techniques.

#1 Make sure you don't have ground issues.
#2 Service history, most of the time (90%) the truly weird electrical issues are a direct result of some monkey "screwing the pooch".

I once diagnosed and fixed a mid 80s 7 series that was blowing fuses. Multiple other techs had tried. The owner of the shop stated it was 'unfixable". The entire dash had been removed, the wiring harness "de-taped" and re-connected everything. It had been "dead" at Eurospec (a shop I worked at in the 90s) for two years.
Every tech there has tried.
Within 45 minutes I had isolated it to a pinched harness at the front bumper mount.
The problem MAGICALLY started right after the car was painted...
I fixed that puppy in under an hour total and DECLINED the "put the dashboard back into the car" job!
Luckily the moron who removed the dash still worked there.

Grounds and monkeys are the rule here.

I'm the Technicalninja
I did NOT choose that name. I earned it!
It was bestowed on me WITHOUT my consent by my shop critters.

Sorry SH, the ninja way is to make other aware when I see a possible Gremlin or the Reaper.
It's just my style...
