Welcome to CCUK hopefully someone will have an answer for you.

Are you saying there is no power to the head unit?

 

Hiya the head unit is working fine Iv had it tested. Also the wires that connect to it work as that's been tested too. What's not working is something I'm trying to figure out. There is no light to the head unit when everything is connected Iv also pressed ac and the on button together

 

Hi Hannah, sounds like you have done all the right things, if the radio itself works there cant be much wrong, have you checked fuses 12 and 35, one is connected direct to battery for the memory and the other one comes from the ignition switch accessory terminal to power the radio....its a good idea to turn the ignition on and check you have power to both sides of both of those fuses....if you have no luck there, you said you put a new fuse in the radio so you must be able to get it out, i don't know if you can see the wire colours on the back but if you can, according to the Haynes manual there are two red ones, one is permanent live and the other is live with ignition, there both red, there are some brown wires there as well, there earth, so if you could check you have power to the red ones ign on and test the earths are ok....i don't think there is any point in taking the cover off the one near the battery, i dont think there is any thing in there concerning the radio, in the main fusebox there is a little black cover in there with some extra fuses in..should tell you in your owners manual which are which, personally i would run through all the fuses in the box with the ign on, make sure there either live both sides or dead both sides, you dont want any that are live one side and dead the other, if that make s sense...good luck, from Fred in Essex.

 

Hiya thank you for your reply. I haven't checked fuse 35 I only checked fuse 12. And I read in another forums that there might be something wrong in one of the fuses in the fuse box next to the battery but I'm not sure? Il check 35 anyways: the wires have been tested by Halford and there is signal going through. Other than that I don't know what else to check
Thanks
Hannah

 

Just to mention when everything is connected, on the display above it where it says time and date and normally the radio bit. It pretty much shows --.- or something similar. At one point it showed 'F'

 

Take of negative rerminal of betry for 10 minutes den take it back again.
