I replaced the blown main fuse in the engine bay, and the car is all sweet now except the radio is completely dead, all the fuses in the fuse box are fine. I've tried 2 head units that I know work but there is no life at all. It's an EF btw. Strange??

Tried the fuse in the back of the head unit, there maybe something wrong causing it to blow straight away

do the fuses look fine or have you tested them with a multi meter..... Ive been caught before with that one.....

NOT HAPPY.... spend hours trying to figure out why something wont work cos the fuse "looked" fine

Don't forget to rig up the ignition wire to the deck. All good having +12V and ground, but deck wont turn on without an ignition line. This may also be fused. Find the ignition line and check to see if it toggles from 0V to 12V when you turn ignition on and off maybe.
