Radio Fuse?

[julian64]

Anyone know where the fuse is for the original pioneer. The head and CD unit is dead all of a sudden, and I can't seem to find the fuse that runs it.

I assume its a fuse as I wouldn't think the head unit supplies power to the boot CD unit?

So assuming that your boot lock etc works, its the fuse at the rear of the head unit. Mine died soon after I picked up my cerb and had a nice new alpine ipod head unit fitted instead.

Just so you know, the stereo connector is from an old Defender but the pins are used differently - I had mine switched over to an ISO connector and made a note of which cable was which, if that'd help anyone...

yes very helpful, thank you.

Although my boot is working fine so its working our what piece of bent wire to use on the radio to get it out the holder

Here you go - the wiring details...

I had mine done by a local auto electrician - it took 10 mins and cost me a tenner. Having an ISO lead instead of the crappy old Landy one means that you plug pretty much anything you like into it in with absolute ease /not having to try and find the right adapter etc - 100% pure win

If you cant find I had the same problem and mine was wired directly to the battery with a fuse holder tucked to the right of the battery and hard to find?
