Goodafternoon fellas. I hope some will be able to help me with this problem that iv had for a week now. Last week i relocated my cd player into my double din in my eg hath, after relocating it the brake light/horn/ double indicator decided to stop working. i checked the fuses and they are all fine. I dont have time to take it to an electrician as im working 7 days a week. Im guessing its just a wiring problem were one is not providing any power. If anyone could help me out here it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much for your time

you mention you check the fuses already, how about the fuses in the engine bay as well as those under the dash?

yeh i did check the fuses in the engine bay but they seem fine. I am quite handy with electrical side but with this its kindv irritating me and i know when i take it to an electrician he is going 2 start from scratch and prob wont find out and he'l tell me to keep the car with him and so on. so i just thought maybe one of you guys know the exact colour of the wire or something along those lines

check behind the head unit for any wires that have been nicked and exposed copper. that would be you first place to check as thats where you were working. check it thoroughly. i had this problem when i changed my headlights, the active had been cut by the power steering pulley. simply soldered a join in.
