Car Issue

[BadTRx]

I had a similar problem a few mths back.. it turned out the noob that owned my vrx be for me had cut the power to the ciggy lighter to run something else... and when he had re joined them he only paired the wires together and taped it.. one morning i went to start the car and i had no lights and the car barely turned ova.. the dodgy wiring came apart and shorted all the dash and head unit out.. 14 fuses later... so maybe wouldn't hurt to have a look behind the head unit/dash

[lukes_vrx]

have you checked the ones inside the yellow box? (fuse's in the engine bay)

+1, had the same prob & found out that 1 of the fuses in the yellow box thing was blown, changed it & it was perfect, you sure you checked that fuse???

Sounds like you may have a fusible link blown for a particular circuit, otherwise it could be an earth issue.
What ever circuit it is, think about what is supplies, eg: dash lights, hu (back up wire I am assuming here), central locking and so on.
These are all constant feed requirements.

well my cars still in at the autolec,
not sure if they have started work on it yet but when i dropped it off yesterday the guy said he doubts its the alternator, which is good because I didnt want to fork out more money after the $650 major service

so yeh fingers crossed its nothing major and also that i get my car back soon

[yann89]

dunno, i also reckon the alternator. just last week i was driving home and put my high beams on. my HU turned off and the interior lights flicked off/on. when i turned them back off the HU turned back on and all was good.

well I just heard back from the autolec,
good news and bad, the cars all working again, but the CD player is *********!

so Ill be going into pick it up today and find out exactly what was wrong with it

I'm not sure how long of a warranty pioneer HU's come with, as its now over a year old
goddamn!
