Radio Problem Ingition Live No Power

[taylor2]

Hi,

 

Hopefully someone can help me. I just installed a new 2 din radio. It work for a couple of minutes then all of a sudden I turned it on and the power went. After doing some investigating, I found the the red ignition live has no power. The constant is ok. I can wire the radio directly to constant but it will always be on.

 

I have checked the obvious fuses and the are ok. Has anyone else come across this problem or do you have any advice about a different source for power.

 

Thanks

Could someone tell me which fuses I should check for the radio?

Hi Again

 

hard to explain, but on some of the newer cars they have a system that uses a central comuter to run the diffrent things in the car,

and (in simple terms) it has a wire running round the car for the power and the computer tells the light (or what ever) to turn on etc.

Have a read of this, bit heavy reading but might explain better than I can.

 

but to get to your problem your radio might need a "can-bus" adaptor to talk to the computer to turn on or off the radio, I think last time

I saw one for sale it was about
