VZ stereo HELP please

[snicko]

Hi Everyone,

New here & to commodores.

I'm trying to put my stereo into my VZ wagon and having some issues. It fits great but the wiring is confusing me.

I've cut the factory plug off so i've got all the wires there ready to join to my stereo's loom. ( jvc headunit )


as posted on here::

VN - VZ

Accesories - Yellow
Constant - Orange/White ( CANT FIND THIS ONE!! )
Illumination - Brown/White
Earth - Black/White
12V OUTPUT - Yellow/Red
Radio Mute - Yellow/Black (VT onwards)
Antenna up - White (VR onwards)
Antenna down - Blue (VR onwards)
Illumination OUTPUT - Grey (VT onwards)

I may have blown my fuse when i touched a wire by mistake cause now i can't get 12v out of the accessories either. ( which i notice stays on even after you take the key out of the ign for a while )

Some help would be greatly appreciated!!
cheers.

Umm I'm not reading this right. Whats the problem? Blown fuse? Change the fuse.

And the car will keep giving accessories power until you open the drivers door or the time limit is hit.

1. Is there a 2nd fuse box? I don't see one for the acc / stereo in the box under the bonnet....

2. Need someone to explain my lack of constant power wire.

1. Under the steering column.

2. Hmmm don't know, just make a new one. Use any at the back of the fuse box.

1. thanks i will go out with my torch and try to locate this fuse box again ( i know there was one there in a mates VT but didn't see it in the VZ.

2. That is possible. Thanks.

Just remember if you make a new constant power, to put a fuse in it.

Welcome to the forums, you probably have blown the fuse when you cut the wires. Pull the fuse panel down under the steering column and check the radio and cigarette lighter fuses. Next time just cut the wires one at a time and try not to let the wires touch.

But Luke0011 then where we get to see cool light shows. Like the time I undid the positive battery terminal with my spanner, and touched the handle to the chassis.
