help!!!

im tryin to put a new cd player in my golf (its 89 16v gti if it helps) but the problem im having is that only the old jvc one works, iv got several that i no work that i have tried and tested in mates cars but they just dont even turn on in mine, all the lives and earths work fine and theres still a current at the end of the iso and adaptors but theres just nothing showing up on the cd players themselves

anyone got any ideas?? any help would be apprieciated

cheers richard

i know it sounds silly, but you have turned the ignition on yeah?

yep, tried it with it running aswell, it just seems strange that only one player works but the rest dont lol

but if my old jvc unit was wired that way round surly it wouldnt work in my mates car that all the other players work in? as thats the bit that gets me lol, all the cd players work in my mates cars including the only one that works in mine lol
cheers mate

stupid question but have you tried just turning it on on the front of the player stupid as this sound it may have the ignition live wired into your permanent live feed so the ignition wont do nothing when you switch it on?

also have you checked the earth connection to the iso using a multi meter with a continuity tester?

also some players have a fuse built in just above the iso socket?? worth a try!

ah fook it i was trying not to say anything but i used to fit all this stuff as a living for years and was trying not to bother with it anymore lol

so i can do it all for ya or with ya if ya want buh plus i dont mind fitting any other stuff you want doing if you fancy a trip over to mine up to you mate

i'll stick the kettle on and we can get to work lol

yes mate i tried turning it on lol with the ignition on, i went over the lives with a multi meter and they where fine, i just assumed that since my jvc unit worked the wiring should be fine,

checked the fuse like i say all the players work fine in other cars

lol well if you dont mind giving us a hand mate i would be most greatfull jus let us know when your free mate
