Problem: no power to Radio connector...!?

[rx7_bhp500]

Hi

I have this problem of no power at the radio connector...
To cut a long story short -the prev jap owner had spliced various bits off the
audio power connector..

So, I have the thick green rx7 handbook and i think i have located the right
wiring diagram but I don\'t make head or tail of the - "this line leads to this
relay/thingy, then thru this fuse...blah blah"...
Can anyone point my in the right direction -i would need to test the
corresponding relay and points etc..?
 
since the ignition would need to be on, the problem could be behind the
ignition barrel too...?!

{I do have a fuse box located in front of the rads with a "relay socket"
labelled audio, but the socket
is taken up by a sort of holder that just has pieces of wire joining 1 --> 2
pins, like its bypassing what used to be a relay, ...if so then this cant be
the problem..!?}
I could paste pics of this bits....

:3Confused :god

Thanks
Jas

Run a permanent live to the radio, and a ignition live to the radio,  all from the ignition switch

Or the Permanent live straight from the battery

..sure thats what i\'ve had to try to make sure it wasn\'t the controller itself, i
wasn\'t wanting to add more wires to the existing balls up of an electrical setup.

perm options are:
1.  take out this make shift setup and run what you suggest ....OR
     - but then my eventually audio setup won\'t ever run...no power..
     - i\'m not sure what the ignition wires involved i need to piggy back off..
   
2. i had an idea of running some relay setup off the cigar lighter...and add my
    CD deck later too...

3. spend time getting to the booton of all this...


option 1 sounds ok, i\'ll have power and can take my time sorting option 3...

Any othe takers for the electical diagram ....?

thanks

Take a look at http://www.wrex-racing.com/html/fd/94_manuals/94_wiring_diagram.zip which has Bose and non-Bose wiring diagrams and colours. I\'d post it, but it\'s about 30MB

well the fuse for the radio is the one to the right of the foot well sticks out on its own failing that yes run new wires .
but be warned jap wireing is very thing and wont take many amps so if you have a juicy stereo its better to have a clean feed to many wires piggy backed will end up in smoke

Hi There, I have this same problem! I have tested all my wiring and have all but the constant live. Can you point me in the direction (or post a pic of it) of the fuse in the foot well? I found the fuses and have a feeling one may be completely missing? Help please! Thank you. Should it be a 10amp normal type car fuse? in it\'s own slot above all the other fuses in the white joint box?

Thank you
Lee
