I just finished installing an old radio in my dads car to replace the good one I took out and now the car won't start :evil:

I cannot understand why because all it is is an ignition wire,constant + and - with the speakers of course.


there is no tick or anything from the starter
it is a twin point EA ,if that helps I really have nfi as to why it would do this because I didn't short anything ,no sparks smoke ect :shock:

would anyone have any ideas?


simon :)

I thought i had a flat battery or sumthen, not knowing anythen about cars

so me and my sister grabbed out the jumper leads and tried starten her up with her car... as i went to turn ignition on i realised i was in D... didnt tell her that tho, and just pretended it was a flat bat:|

God did i feel like a d***head!!
