[Mk2] [Turbo] Replace Aerial Stalk = Stereo Dead

Post by Mike »

So I finally got around to replacing my aerial stalk, and now I have no power to the stereo. The dome fuse looks fine as does the radio fuse (top left 15a fuse in the footwell I believe?)

Checked behind the stereo and all looks ok, any ideas?

Have you tried disconnecting the arial to see if the stereo starts working. TBH I would doubt it will make a difference since any short would blow fuses but maybe worth a try...

You have probably lost the earth somewhere in the aerial-fixing process. Run new earth, ad things will probably light up (in a good way)!
