Radio wont turn on or power up

Featured Replies

Hi, i have tried to install a apple car play radio to my 2012 plate ford smax, orginal radio was working perfect before trying to fit this new radio in. After fitting the new radio, i tried turning it on but it did not power up. I then refitted orginal radio back in and now that is not powering up. Checked 15A fuse under the glove box stated in the fuse diagram and that is ok, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas?

thanks

F21 should be 30A.

F43 is 15A so that's the one I assumed you'd checked.

EDIT - Those two are in the engine bay fusebox labeled 'audio'.

I now see F21 inside is labeled radio.  That's not confusing at all lol...

On the diagram is says 15A for F21.

Ive checked both fuses in the boot that are both audio related and they arent blown. Trying looking for a inline fuse in the power circuit but could not find one.

Yes, I've edited post above.  F21 & F43 in the engine bay fusebox are both for audio as well.
