A (LOC) or Line Out Converter is used when AUX ports are not present for stock Headunits and you do not wish to add an Aftermarket Headunit to your vehicle. How it works is as follows:it has (2) sets of postive and negative wires, one set of positve and negative wires is the left channel, which represents (1) of the RCA output holes on the LOC, the other 2 wires are a positive and negative for the right channel, which represents the other RCA output. Some come with (1) extra wire which is an additional ground wire for the LOC itself, you can connect this to any ground connection in your vehicle. When connecting RCA or signal wires from the LOC to your AMP, be sure to connect left to left and right to right, respectively. It will not cause any problems if you connect left to right, but for sanity sake while adjusting settings on your headunit for fading and centering, it will become anoying and confusing if things are backwards. I believe that your problem is because of the following: Whoever installed your LOC, did not properly connect it, they got the positive and negative wires backwards on one of the channels(left or right). This is not good!!
since one RCA works just fine, get a RCA splitter, and you will plug the working RCA from the installed LOC into the splitter, and then you can run (2) RCA lines, from the splitter, making a left and right channel, essentially. That is one solution. The other is to purchase another LOC and use the rear deck speaker positive and negative wiring and connect the LOC to those, and run RCA from the LOC to your amp that way. Be sure to properly connect positive and negative wires!! If you choose this second approach, and the :LOC you purchase has 5 wires instead of 4, be sure to ground that 5th wire appropiately. Be sure to check the manual that it comes with to determine which wires are what, exactly. I hope this solves your probelms! :)
