Ive got it tapped into the blue plug behind fuse box like I did for my last stereo install and seems to be no power. Im sure the unit is in working order.Can someone tell me an alternative place to tap into power, earth and acc please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont have a volt meter so I cant test wires but the connections are definately good and I had the deck checked out today and it definately working so its in the wiring somewhere.Can someone recommend a decent place to tap into 12v, acc and earth apart from blue plug behind fuse box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 14/08/09 06:13 AM Share Posted 14/08/09 06:13 AM that blue plug behind the fuse panel is a good place to get power but are you sure you got the right 1. there is 4 connections in that plug.-power which has constant 12V-power on with accessories 12V-earth 0V-mute 5Vas for which ones which, couldnt remember that's why a voltmeter is handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check both the fuse on the head unit and the fuses in the fuse box just incase. otherwise if all is good power wise its the earth or your deck is farked.Also if you have a 12v power supply you could test it on there first to make sure it works?
