Hi all,

I was changing my CCR2006 over to a kenwood unit this afternoon and i heard a small pop,like a fuse going.

I had a look found that I'd caught a wire that had earthed out and, I assume, took out a fuse.

However I have checked every fuse and everything is ok, but I have no power to headunit, no MID working and the heater/air con panel isn't lighting up. The car starts and runs normally.

Am I missing a fuse somewhere other than the ones under the steering wheel and bonet next to the battery??

Thanks

Have you checked fuses 6,7,12 &13 Rob

Hi Rob, yes I have, all checked and all ok.

Don't understand, There must be a fuse for the MID, Climate control and radio that has blown somewhere!?

Cheers

oh and I have no fuse 6...thats what the manual lists as fuse for radio...?

When I blew my fuse, which stopped the climate panel and lighter working (don't remember whether the radio was affected) I think it was fuse 14? It's 30 amp iirc?

Well it would make sense but all the fuses are ok 

Typical with next weeks forecast I'll have no heating, let alone radio!

oh and I've just noticed the below;

No hazards
No rev counter (it's fixed at 500rpm, ign on or off)
No speedo
No Temp reading
No fuel reading

So seems to be a localised issue, must be a poxy fuse somewhere!

#15 possibly,

How have you tested them? Visually isn't always enough

[F1 9LFG]

thanks for all your help.

Never guess what I found...I tested all the fuses with my meter, and were all ok. So i unscrewed the fuse panel and found a right mess! Extra fuse holders taped into the loom, wires just twisted together! so an hour later all connections re-made and the 20amp fuse 'that had blown' replaced. I was tempted to rip out the additional fuse holders etc but don't want to open a can of worms. It all works so I'll leave it be.

Sorted!!

Wonder what the 'mods' to the loom were for

sounds a right mess, i normally take anything thats not standard out and reinstate stock loom, if it wasnt meant to be there just becomes a fire hazard in a car, glad to hear you found problem though

exactly what I was thinking - but it was getting dark, I have work tomorrow and it's all working correctly and I'll have a CD player for the 2hour drive to work in the morning 

I may look into it next weekend

Yes, that would have been far worse than silence!
