radio stopped working

Hi all as you know I've spent 2 years building my R .
Today it drove it off the garage for the first time in 2 years .

Thought I'd check all the lights etc and heaters
Came to the radio and it doesn't work ..
Now it did work 2 years ago ( expensive alpine headunit )
And now it appears not to power up

Any ideas ? I think I checked the correct fuse 3rd up on the left 10A

What else shares the radio fuse?

Doesnt the cigarete lighter share the same fuse ....

Has it got a fuse on the back of the head unit??

One I bought years ago had no fuse at all in the back so had to nick one off my old stereo

Not sure about fuse on back of the unit .. just weird how it did work and not touched it and now it doesn't work

4th fuse up on my car....

No ones suggested the obvious. Have you checked there's voltage with a meter or test light?

I've not even looked into why it's not working

Is it plugged in then..

A lot f radios need the aerial plugged in to work

I think he's using the term radio instead of stereo/head unit. I do the same thing

Yes CD player aswell but the new ones don't even have cd. You seen them ? There tiny with just USB on

Yeah radio as in generic term for headunit .. sorry for the confusion .

You mean deckless stereos? Half the size. I got a 20quid one from Aldi but burnt out later on so bought an old alpine after to make do but want a newer better one for ipod.


What alpine have you got rob?
