That's what we were thinking, I'm going to call kicker customer support Monday and see what's up, the green led is on the side of the amp under the sub so I doubt you'd be able to see it once it's mounted in the truck.

The green LED will illuminate once you have the proper power and signal provided. My sub had power but I pulled the wrong signal and it wouldn't light up til I got the signal wires straight.

Maybe provide us a picture of where you pulled signal from?

I pulled signal from the "two twisted wires white with a magenta stripe and white with a orange stripe" exactly how it said in the instructions. I'll take a picture later today though.

I did that too, but in two locations...one in the kick panel on the pass's side...no green light.

Came back down the rocker panel and found 'em in the loom in the pass's rocker and got the light to come on. No issues since and it's been almost 20 months.

I pulled them from the bottom of the wire harness in the pass kick panel, where should I be pulling from?

I tapped mine in the p.s. footwell kick panel, they were a twisted together pair...

Yeah, mines been installed for 17 months and worked flawlessly....

The wires I tapped were White w/Purple Stripe, and White w/Orange Stripe...

Then the Brown wire from the Substage wire harness went to White w/Purple, and Green from Substage harness went to White w/Orange. Hope this helps...
