[corrado1991 0]

heya guys !

so finally got the car running fine, got all ui need wired in but radio isnt working !

now i traced the ground wire and that is fine have checked the battery wire and that seems to come form the interior light form the glovebox! ( person b4 me who owned the car did a right job. have also checked ignition wire and that is fine my other radeios will power on but this new one wont , does it require more power ? or is there an illumination wire that needs to be hooked up ??

its a kenwood head unit and all the wires in the corrado have been cut :(:(:(:( :bad-words: :bad-words:

so any help would be brilliant !!!!!!!!!

plug the yellow wire on the back into the red this will test the wiring it will be on permanent basis though :wink:

If installing a new stereo usually takes out the rear spoiler (no joke, blue wire, honest Corrado problem) ... maybe you should try removing your spoiler to get the radio working :scratch:

 

Logic is sound.
