Stereo question

[iggysport]

Took my head-unit out today because it wasn't in there properly ( grey metal sticking out ) and managed to cock it up, accidently pulled the ariel and white and red wires to the sub out and whilst fiddling a small puff a smoke came out the back of the stereo! and now it doesn't work, bought a new one today and oddly that didn't work either.

Have checked fuses, cant see anything wrong with the visible wires, thinking maybe it's the wires that I can't see?

Anyone have any ideas, would be much appreciated.
Car is going in tomorrow anyway so I'll get Suzuki to sort it if I can't do it.
Car is doing my head in lately, pretty much all my fault to be honest though, can't fault the car.

A Suzuki you say. Pity, if it had been British you could have used this:

That smoke was probably a capacitors encore.

Tough luck chap

Sounds buggered. Aftermarket headunits are very cheap nowadays, and usually result in higher sound quality if using the inbuilt amplifier.

Well it's been working fine until I decided to take it out, I don't think the problem is with the stereo as the brand new one didn't work either :/

check the fuse for the headunit it might have blown.

I think your all missing the point of his new stereo doesn't work either.

Have you checked the fuse in the main fuse box? either that or some wiring has melted?

+1 for car fuse having blown as you buggered about with the wiring

Just got back from Suzuki, it was a fuse, not sure which one as I checked quite a few of them :/

Slow puncture was a dodgy valve and air con was just a re-gas, all this for £50, can't complain : My Suzuki dealer has seriously good customer service and prices, really happy with them

Did it not occur to you to think about disconnecting the battery before you started fannying around with the electrics? Keep checking the fuses, as that's probably what went up in smoke.

Im guessing it was fuse 10 in the second box who's your dealer?

[iggysport]

I usually disconnect the battery, didn't plan on fiddling with electrics, just wanted to make it fit right :/

Pebley beach Suzuki is my dealer, is fuse 10 the radio dome one? because I changed that one :/

[swifthobo]

oh right and yeah there are 2 fuseboxe's in them
