Radio not working

[Jackals]

Hello Guys,

Been fixing all the little bits that where wrong with my van this morning that a bought a week ago.... Slight Problem with the radio.. It aint working... Will not light up or display anything.

I've checked all the fuses,, I'm checked the wiring behind the sterio and all seems to be fine.... But i did a volt meter check on the power plug and i'm getting 0.19v through 2 of the wires....

Is there anything else that can go wrong with them???

With thanks

Jack

forgot to mention its a mk6 Y reg MWB transit with the 2.4l enginine in it.

Checked all the fuse in cab fusebox,the one under tray on n/s of dash ?

[Jackals]

yep... All fuses in there are fine.

Radio prob shot then,check for 12v at power connection to set.

Should be a permanent 12v & a ignition pos.1 switched live also.(usually red & a yellow)
One wire is a sidelight feed,2 others are earths.(black i think)

What model number radio,is the front panel clipped on fully ?

[Jackals]

i'm getting no voltage or not alot of voltage up (0.19v) to the sterio... be the igntion on or off... I'm just wondering if there is anything else inline????

[Frag]

No,only fuse/s in dash fusebox.

Sure your meters ok/had a good earth ?

[Jackals]

VoltMeters fine and the earth was on the case of the fag lighter and the sat nav works from it so should be fine!!!!

I'm getting a massive voltage drop from somewhere....

Isn't there a double fuse box on these

[Jackals]

there is 1 fuse box under the bonnet that seems to mostly run everything under the bonnet.
then there is a fuse box on the left hand side of the dash which according to the manual runs everything in the van. including the radio.... No fuses have blown on any pannal.... I've even checked to see if somebody aint taken a fuse out the radio to use somewhere else...
Somebody also put a tracker in there to Deal with that later!!!

Inside, one behind or under the other

[Jackals]

there is two lids yes.. one houses fuses and a few relays and below that under the other lid there is a relay.... no fuses tho.

[Frag]

yep... All fuses in there are fine.

Got any fuses "missing", any spaces in dash fusebox with both pins in but no fuse fitted

[Jackals]

yer... but none have anything to do with the radio accoding to the manual...

should i throw a 10amp fuse in them and see what happeneds....

worth a try, does the fag lighter work cos on the older ones I'm sure the memory was fed from the same fuse
