#1: I'm a t**t, help. Author: devildriverxii, Location: StevenagePosted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:29 pm ---- Ok, so today I decided I didn't like not having a clock in the car, so I got the soldering iron out, dismantled it, and got busy with soldering.
Thought I did a good job, so I connected it, it worked but the bulbs didn't light up (I know they work as they are new) so I took it out and began soldering again.
Looked smart, so put it back together, stick it in, and nothing, tiny tiny poof of smoke from the ppt#...oops.
Now it doesn't work, which is a shame, I'll just have to get a new one from somewhere.
But my stereo wont turn on either even more worrying is that my sub/amp wont work either.
I'm guessing I've done something wrong but what, a fuse? if so, why doesn't my sub/amp work =(
I can't drive without music.
Help

Trollface lol.

Check the fuse for the headunit, both in the fusebox and the one on the back of the HU itself and report back

Author: ukskater01, Location: sutton surrey/welwyn garden cityPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:36 pm ---- You will need to check all the fuses, take out them and use a circuit tester on them as a visual test can be misleading. And I wouldn't get your soldering iron out unless you know what your doing
Out of curiosity did you accidentally solder any pins together?
Hope you fix it
#5: Re: I'm a t**t, help. Author: jimjam19927, Location: PortsmouthPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:37 pm ---- Exactly what ste said. No power to head unit means no power to amp (assuming your remote on amp the lil blue wire was wired to ya head unit and not just an ignition feed) which means no power to sub

#9: Re: I'm a t**t, help. Author: devildriverxii, Location: StevenagePosted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 4:06 pm ---- Right ok, so I'll get a circuit testing thing tomorrow, what do I do when I find the blown fuse? where do I get replacements from?

Refer to the appropriate fuse list, disconnect battery (following proper procedures), then use
a multimeter to check the fuse(s) as indicated by the list.
Hope you haven't damaged the BSi.
Also make sure you have solved the problem before replacing any blown fuse.
