Radio & CD stopped working

[Keith.P]

Small problem, the RDS6000 CD stopped, well it all went blank.
I have one wire that I can not find a home for, an orange wire with a 3 amp fuse, from the CD loom, any ideas to its home.
The radio is working again, but not CD as yet, I did add a parrot, so the wirings a little messy.

It could well be the bat power to the CD plug, I didn't see that power wire on other wiring diagrams I have looked at.
I will go and see.

orange wire is main power feed, yellow or red skinny wire is ignition live

 

[Keith.P]

All fixed now.

 

[Procomm]

what was it in the end?

 

[Keith.P]

Orange wire pulled off the CD plug, also forgot to plug the stork back in, that didn't help. having a go at a window closure set up, just a shame I can not add my sunroof into the equation.

ah cool, simple fix in the end then, what do you need to do with your sunroof then?

 

[Keith.P]

I fitted a window closure system some time ago, so you don't have to worry about shutting them, just lock the car and the windows shut, as I use the sunroof all the time in the summer, I would have liked to add the sunroof onto the system, but I don't think its possible.

 

[Procomm]

It should be possible, depending on which kit you are using, if your kit works from the switches then its just an addition of 3 cables if your kit connects through the relays like the Vauxhall kit then your screwed

I had the two window set up that is quoted on the how to section, I have just upgraded it to the four window system to try to add in the sunroof.
The sunroof switch is a double switch, for each direction, so its not that easy, if I could find a wiring diagram of the sunroof, that would be helpful, but at the moment I'm stumped.
