Levi Heron Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 my stereo only works when i have my sidelights turned on and it does not work when i have them off i just fitted a new stereo and i dont know what to do from here??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyday Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Did you use the correct adapters? I will show you what I mean in a moment, via pic. That is a strange one. there's no way of checking if the wires for your new radio need the power bypassed through the lights before it turns on, like a logic gate. What adapters, if any, did you use?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Heron Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 ive actually just got it sorted now after blowing a few fuses i never used any adaptors just crimped the wires together i had the stereo going through the sidelights instead of the power cable :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav3y Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 haha i thought as much, sounded like someone confused the illumination wire with the power/ignition wire :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyday Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well learn from your mistakes next time, could have been the straight battery wire, then you would have had a fire on your hands, ah well at least its sorted, btw nice colour Dave :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
