[CALAIS 6]

hey guys got another problem lol this morning stereo was fine went to tafe came back this arvo and there seems to be no power to the deck.I have checked all the fuses under the bonnet and the one in the back of the deck,all wiring checked and seems to be no problem that i can see anyways

So does anyone have any ideas PLZ

is the earth wire alright?

did you jump start the car at all as i saw one the other day where the lady jump started her car and it spiked the stereo killing it.

some radio head unit have a fuse inside the unit itself (though not many). Otherwise disconnect the positive and use something to check power is present. If so then ya know there is power and if not its the head unit. I know this aint overly helpful but at least it narrows down where to look.

edit: if you open the head unit be aware that some fuses look like resistors and are usually a light green

cheers guys will remove it tomrow and see if i get power to it if so il just rewire it or somethink if not then im FU#$ED

cool. my first thoughts are with a bad ground as mentioned earlier. Note that even if the unit is getting a good negative connection the radio might still not fire up with a bad ground. I got a pioneer unit in my FJ-40 and i had that happen to me. If you are in doubt that the ground is ok just make a new one. Some head units are touchy about their ground.

good luck
