Sony Stereo Installation Issue

Hopefully somebody can help me. I have a 2005 Ford focus decided to put in a new stereo. When a connection it normally will only eject will work. If I connect red and yellow together will stay on all the time. Anyone know how I can get it working just normally? Thanks

    Have you tried swapping the permanent and ignition live wires?

    Sometimes when someone sells a stereo patch lead they think that because the Vauxhall and Ford quadlock connectors are cosmetically similar that they are swappable but the power leads are swapped.

    I will have a look at that. I have switched the red and yellow if that's what they are? Had no power at all when I did that

    Are you sure it is a Ford ISO patch lead?

    I assume it's not a Ford Sony radio but after-market you fitted so a patch was used?

    Yes it's an aftermarket one. Will double check but yes sure it's a Ford one. All wires seem to match on it colour wise
