If the remote wire is disconnected them the amps wont switch on
All the remote wire does is turn the amps on when the h/u is switched on

The battery and remote wire may not have enough juice available to switch/keep the amps on when the alternator isn't helping. Do you have a multi meter to measure the voltage both with the engine running & not?

I have heard mention that on some devices the remote wire can't power multiple devices and in that case the remote can be used to activate a relay which can trigger the amps on it's other circuit.

Oggy.

The remote wire can power two amps without a relay, anymore and a relay is needed
