And what happens if you take that stereo back out?

Nuffin..the lights still stay off...(but the light for the clock works) sorry this worked before too..but thats the only one that does..

a process of elimination i'd say. try taking the stereo out and checking wots been done to the wires behind. it may be that you've knocked some out of place in regards to their connections as it may be causing a short.

you may have blown the fuse or even mad an eareth from a live connection by shorting it.

so how ould i got about fixing this?? would it be best to get a proffesional electrcian?

by **FezzR** on Sun Jul 27, 2003 1:14 pm

its got to be a short or open circuit, and the wired u crimped were the live and earth feeds, check the connections are all sound and that the right wires are connected remembeing that the colours of wires probably wont match, so check perm live and ignition live are right way round

how loud is it when it cuts out?
do the symtoms differ when the engine is running to when its not?
