Took out the cassette player and fitted the Alpine in. Was driving at night and had to switch on the head lights... so for some reason all the instrument panel lights stopped working. Lifted the bonnet and the 10A Tail Lamp fuse was blown... replaced it.
Disconnected the unit and decided to re-wire it... but it was confusing! We didn't touch the the illumination wires and couldn't find an Earth. So we connected an Earth to one running in the lower left footwell (scotch lock). Got a 12v constant of the cigerette lighter. So why does the f**king unit work when the key is not in the ignition?
Have I got the wiring right? Left with two wires that I don't want to touch. Can anyone suggest how it should have been wired? Which colour wire does what so I can be double sure? It had to be wired (individually) as the 4 speaker auto lead did not fit! Any help appreciated.
