[mr ICE man]

I've removed my Bose system,wiring and speakers etc,have wired all the speakers up via looping them,plugged new head unit in and nothing comes on!do I need to loop power supply too?if so which wires??I've looked in Haynes but can't make head nor tale!i checked all the fuses and they all ok.so if someone could help
I would be very greatfull!

I take it mr ICE man isn't good at ICE

Vauxhalls tend to swap the 12V and Ign feeds, so this would be my first port of call....

Yeah you need to swap the feed, most headunits come with swapable feeds already wired in. I had to swap the yellow and red wires....

But all you 'overnight ICE experts' appear to have missed the point.

From previous experience with Sony head units it still powered up with red to red and yellow to yellow, just didn't hold memory when the ignition was turned off.

So swapping the wires possibly will not change anything

I personally would check to see if you have a live to the plug with a multi meter (should be a permenant live with ignition off as well as live with ignition on) before going anywhere else with it.

But thats just my 2p

Thought I would do the sensible thing and try the old ccr700 and that all works fine,just the new stereo,a jvc won't come on!tried swapping the two feeds and fuses just in case!only option is that the stereo is buggery!unless anyone else has a suggestion??

I must admit, I was waiting to see who was awake enough to spot that one !!

OP suggested a dead radio, not one that wasn`t holding its presets

Run a cable to the outer chassis of the JVC stereo and earth it out to the body - does it switch on?

Blown earth track ?

 :-?

Hey - Been called worse !!

 

Shame on you Mr ICE Man, you should have known that JVC stereos always come out of the box with blown earth tracks !!

Is that the same as those crap Sony Xplodes that always have Sammy Sledgehammer poking out the top after I've seen it.....

No, Unlike the Sony crap, some of the JVC`s are worth repairing
