Ok.. anyone ever fiddle with the radio wiring? I'm not asking "how to fit a headunit" etc etc. Have had my headunit in for about 6 years now and recently only plays when I lean forward...sit back properly in the seat and it goes off but the headunit is still powered...just no sound. Doesn't matter if it's aux,cd or radio..it just doesn't make any noise. I've tried another headunit (a kenwood) and it works exactly the same as the first..except sometimes it displays "protected" or "protection" which I've read else where is something to do with dodgy speaker wiring? I've only chopped the blocks off the OE speaker cables and spliced spade ends on so can't see how that would be the fault Looking at the haynes manual wiring guide 12.23 ,diagram 3a...(i'm pants at wiring,electrics etc) I can see the battery puts power through/into the "fuse/relay board" ...I can't work out what happens inside here apart from it leaves via wire 29B and 10c continuing along to the radio/headunit (marked 82). From there I know what the speaker cables are (220A,220,221,221A) and I know the earth is wire M29B going to earth point P121B. What I don't know is what to do from here, apart from try to find the earth and see if that's ok and possibly have a look at the speaker wiring and see if anything is suspect. In the time being...if anyone has any ideas or revelations please let me know. Thanks
