Sounds like the famous D13 from D16 switcherroo. Make sure that D13 is used and not D16 for the remote amp power, move the wire if neccessary.

When I've had this problem I've found the quickest way is to check where EVERY wire runs between the Quadlock connector for the RNS-E and the other connectors that connect to the car.

I have an Excel spreadsheet which lists the correct routing - if anyone wants a copy PM me.
