xyber 1 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The ISO plug is messed up or the wires are crossed. At the moment you have the perm live and illumination feeds crossed. Normally when you switch the lights on it also lights up the buttons on the stereo. Just check which is switched live for illumination and which is perm live. Easy fix with a test lightYou have 3 live feeds...Perm live- powers unit to keep memory settingsSwitched live- main powerIllumination Link to post Share on other sites

cragus 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Plugs seem to be okay just tried an old headunit and there was no pwer at all wouldnt even eject with engine/light on. Think i'll drop it in to the garage let them have a look. What is it about mk3's and electrics! Link to post Share on other sites
