Re: ok. what is wrong with this picture?

Yeah, you're right, does not make sense. Fuse?

[Transporter]

Any modifications? Anything you've done to the car lately or at all? What's the scan saying?

[jboogie]

Yeah possibru.

I'll have a gander around.

To be honest, im EXPECTING the dash to need to be replaced so IF it is that, im not annoyed or dissapointed when I have to shell out hundreds of dollars to fix it instead of a 10c fuse.

Nope. Havent done anything except put my headunit back in but it worked for a day and half before this..

Just got in the car today and they are both a no-go.

Havent scanned yet. Hoping to see gav soon

strange.. use VCDS to do final control on the dash insert to see if you get the display up... try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins and then back on again... so many problems are cured with a battery reset there days...

Double check the wiring of the head unit, also check the battery charge with a multimeter, very odd..

Re: ok. what is wrong with this picture?

Does the head unit turn on and of with acc power?

If it is battery, i'd be surprised if the LCD didn't light when the central locking worked, but who knows how many amps these elements need.

Had a similar problem after installing a headunit Had the ACC and permanent wire reversed Ran the battery flat and i t was a fairly new one at that

Jesse battery I think is about a year old

[flat6]

Head unit could be hooked up to the constant +12v, slow drain

wiring has been triple checked. Gav can confirm.

yeah it is wired with a switched 12v source (acc).

going to check the fuses tomorrow also.

the switched 12v source is DEF NOT wired to the constant 12v source.

[jboogie]

battery has spot on 12.43v too

Just replaced a blown fuse.. still nothing.

Disconnected the battery for 10 mins. still nothing..

will scan it tonight..
