stichy Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 ive just fitted a new head unit, but cant get it to work? its got power, as the eject work/motorised face. but there is no display. are there any fuses i might of blown or need to check, ive check the wireing time and again. any help?? Quote
M13KYF Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 aftermarket or OEM. May be a earthing issue. Seem to remember there is something you need to do when installing a aftermarket unit. Do a search under 'earth' Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 +2 on the earthing. There is no earth in the Nissan loom so you have to earth it to the chassis somewhere, then it will all work. Quote
narcotix Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 hmmm .. kind of strange since you have power ... usually a blown fuse or bad earth would mean no / intermittent power ... are you sure the head unit was working properly prior to installation ? Quote
stichy Posted January 9, 2010 Author Posted January 9, 2010 are you sure the head unit was working properly prior to installation ? yes, unless it got damaged in the post, but know marks or signs of damage. and when you reset the head unit the buttons light up then go out again after a couple of seconds. then nothink. ive got the earth connected to the metal gear leaver, to make sure its a good earth. this is what is happening Quote
stichy Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 is there a fuse that does the switch only, (ignition) and how many differant fuse boxes are there on the zed. driver footwell and by the batterie. and what fuse does what? anyone got the fuse layout? Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 It still looks like an earth/power supply problem to me. When i first installed my Kenwood I had a similar problem (eject would work but nothing else) - turned out there were two connectors taking power and earth to different parts of the unit and I'd only earthed one of them. Does your model have a single connector for power, or does the SatNav bit have it's own supply? Quote
stichy Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 it has two power supplys, and one earth. 12v live switched live(ignition) and earth Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 it has two power supplys, and one earth. 12v live switched live(ignition) and earth Have you checked you've definitely got a good earth by using a multi-meter? Just because it's attached to metal doesn't necessarily mean it's grounded? Other than checking all your connections with a multi-meter (live, ignition and earth) I'm stumped I'm afraid Quote
gunmetalzgt Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 If it has power but doesn't work properly then one of the power supplies isnt right. probably the ignition live isnt on. have you got a tester to check it out? Quote
stichy Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 I WILL GET ONE OF MY OLD MAN. A TEST IT IVE GOT TO CHARGE THE BATTAIE FIRST AS THATS FLAT KNOW BUT THANKS FOR YOUR HELP Quote
