Ok...

Just had my pioneer headunit installed... worked fine. Once. Parked up, went away for a bit, came back and it wouldn't turn on. Fuse (15amp) had blown. Replaced it, turned on lights and it went again. Spare gone. Would it be okay to put a 20amp/25amp one instead??? It is meant to be a 15amp one, the acc one?! This is in the fuse box, not the cd player itself. It's the blade fuses?

you must have a slpit wire somewhere! do not use bigger fuse else you could end up with an electrical fire! check all wiring for a torn cable!

Defo don't use a bigger fuse!?

Argh.

So annoying, it works fine the first time, even turned it off and on again... But then come back and it wont turn on, then put in the spare and turn my lights on and it goes.

The fuse in the back of the HU is only 10amp so its not the fuse. I think its the earth used, ill sort it for you when i see you next

sounds like you used the side light live behind the radio as your radio earth ,side light live is grey/green disconnect that tape it up and use the brown wire as the radio earth that should sort it.
