Has this car got any DIY/aftermarket wiring associated with these 2 devices or in the near vicinity to these devices?
i looked at the back and its got some electrical tape on the wires for the HU... i think the guy changed it back to stock when he sold it not sure... cant check atm cars not at home
fuses arent broken in both the driver side and engine bay... checked for a reset button and there isnt one... checked manual but only showed how to make the HU work after it has lost power but mine has no power
as my previous post i think theres some DIY/aftermarket wiring...Quote:

HELP! lol or would it be alright to just get rid of this stock HU and get another aftermarket HU... i guess tahts the last thing i would try and do
all fixed but before i fixed the clock and the radio the light for the speedo went out.. like all the other lights work just not the light when you switch onthe parkers and the normal and highbeam lights....
changed the back up fuse cause it was broken in the engine bay... theres some fuses that i replaced in the drivers side which arent broken but they dont seem to have any power getting to them(when using a voltmeter to check they dont light up) any sugestions??
If there's no power, and every fuse is 100%, it's time to check the wiring.
The very fattest black wire will either be for the antenna or a cd changer, no fuses there. Also could be a ground wire. This must be connected to ground, but there's no fuse there either.
Red and Yellow wires will be the power wires. Only power wires are fused. Or at least they should be :P
there is power.. now that you mention it some of the speakers dont work so probably wiring issue just the lights at night cant see how fast ur going :S
Not all the fuses are powered all the time.
Some come on at different positions of the ignition key & some like headlights,etc are downstream of the lighting switch,ie they wont be powered till after u turn the switch on to the appropriate position.
some fuses & other blank spaces are for diff model options & aftermarket addons,so wont be powered till the loom upgraded or addon installed.
so dont fret about some fuses that dont have power to them.
check u havent hooked up the H/U incorrectly to the dash lighting wire & check your dimmer switch on the dash,good DIY in DIY section for this.
Oh, so the original problem is fixed, but you've got a new one? BL
Maybe a dimmer wire ground out or something. Check the fuses for your licence plate lights/instrument cluster again.
Hopefully the globes didn't blow :eek: Go around the car and hunt down everything that doesn't work. Any blinkers, highbeams, the highbeam indicator, reversing lights, plate lights, interior lights, clock, defroster etc.
Knowing exactly what is faulty can help tell us where the problem is.
Which speakers don't work, and do you mean no sound at all?
yeah original problem gone...now...
speakers: front right works... front left and both rears dont work
all electrical works mirrors sunroof exterior lights... except for dimmer for speedo
also want to know whats wrong when you put new fuse in and it doesnt light up... like no power is going through them
