stef123 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 That circuit will power up your radio and the manual switch will do as the key in the ignition does. surely there is a fix for whatever is causing the drain though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlong98 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 No luck again, everything was wired up correctly so figure I must have a faulty radio. Waiting till pay day to buy another unit. Will update you then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting till pay day to buy another unit. Will update you then :) If you purchase a T10 bulb socket and crimp spade connectors on the end and plug it in to connections instead of radio, Borrow the T10 W5W bulb from boot compartment light and see if bulb illuminates when it should. this costs less than 5GBP you can use it later for footwell lighting if desired. Worth trying to ensure everything is as it should be before purchasing a replacement headunit. here's a link to T10 bulb sockets link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T10-W5W-501-SMD-CAR-PLUG-IN-LIGHT-LED-BULB-EXTENSION-SOCKET-HOLDER-/321938643069?var=&hash=item4af509d87d:m:mUq4Fknj27VCl2owgAyhndQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
