No Switched Live To Stereo...

[oonip 4]

I'm stumped. Anybody have any suggestions as to why I have two permanent lives and no switched live on my red connector for the stereo?

 

Fuel pump primes when the ignition is turned so I'm guessing the problem is not the barrel?

IIRC there is a connector on the fusebox that has two possible positions, one switches the stereo with the ignition and one doesn't, it was something a dealer could 'configure' if an owner requested it.

yup, IIRC its a thick blue wire, or blue plug fairly central on the fuseboard, there's two slots and its a single spade, I think one slot is marked AC+ and the other +

Awesome thanks guys. Now to trace the dodgy wiring that causes it to power off randomly...
