Title: cd player trouble
Post by: Sooperkent on December 26, 2008, 06:36:36 PM
Hi guys, noob to ice
Car ddnt have a cd player in it when I bought it but got one for
Xmas and once I got the wiring adapter for halford I plugged it all in

But it doesn\'t look like its getting power, I.e. it won\'t turn on.

Iv not checked fuses but if anyone could indicate which fuse I would check
Or any other way to find what\'s wrong?

Thanks for the help dudes

what you need is a perm 12v for the memory and a switched 12v for the ignition and turn on as well as an earth if you are in a mazda rx7 im presuming you have the auto leads adaptor plug there is a fly need that needs connecting to an earth /chassis point other wise the power /electric cannot make its curcit and therefore no stereo get a meter and test you have power and earth

Have you earthed the black lead, on the Mazda plugs there\'s a separate earth, worth a look!
