sc16v 0 Posted June 25, 2003 The accessory wire off the the ignition switch which runs to then radio wiring (brown/red i think) has no fuse so if it earthed during fitting then it can cause problems, :( If it did eart you have to replace the comp switch :x 1st check all fuses, Then check ign fees from ign switch on column and if no good replace switch. :) doulbe check the wiring behind the radio, if you can get it out again :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
