Blow Fuse When Changing Visteon Vhs

[Sammie]

I have 2001 Mk2 TDI Ghia

Since had car (2-3weeks) Ive been trying to get screens and VHS player to work-to start with player just chewed all tapes up....bought a head cleaner, now player only plays for 2 seconds before going back into standby mode

Decided to replace with DVD player...who watched videos in 2001 anyway???

 

Anyway, DVD was delivered today

Disconnected VHS and connected the DVD player but no power...Reconnected VHS-no power

 

I didnt think to check the wires...

The plug from VHS has 3 wires...red (live), black (ground) and orange (??)

The DVD plug has 2...red and black

 

Also the plug from DVD and plug from VHS are different so think ive connected Live to Ground/Ground to Live...this possibly why Ive lost all power....checked radio fuse-its fine...so where is other fuse?

 

Also...what is the orange wire for that goes into VHS?? Could it be for the screens or some sort of AUX power?

 

With the DVD being an indash player I've now decided to take the Ford radio out, put my own Sony bluetooth in with the DVD player underneath...theres a small gap but ill fix that...with the VHS running off the radio is it going to be as simple of buying ISO lead to fit and thats it?? How will the screens link to the indash DVD??

 

Also Ive got a JVC multichanger being delivered tomorrow....how does that fit into all this???

 

Think I'm WWAAAAAAYYY above my head but Im hoping someone on here will be able to help me lol

 

Thanks for reading my essay pmpl
