There is a seperate fuse for the changer - its part of the changers loom. I can't remember if its on the back of the headunit or the changer but its 3amp IIRC

while at work took out head unit and put new fuse in and still dead so now considering 2 ideas

 

1 replace the 5000 tape unit and put the 6000 cd unit in(would this work with cd changer)

2 ask the person we deal with at work who fixes all the car radios we send to him...

The 6000 will work fine.

 

I have seen a few cases where the ford radios simply "forget" they have a changer attached. If you have the radio code (or send me the serial ;) ) then unplug the power connector to the back of the headunit, wait a minute or so and the plug it all back in.

i have pulled the lead off the changer and waited but not off the head unit, the radio works fine i have code in audio book , dont think changer broke as i had the same problem when i brought it from ford garage as i have said as i off work wed thurs will give it a go.one of my mates at work is going to lend me his tester to see if any power is coming down the loom.
