Hi All,

I'm having a bit of trouble changing the stereo on my girlfriend's Opel Corsa B 5 Door City (1997). I have removed the factory fitted Grundig 200 tape stereo with some home made DINs.
I have the correct wiring harness (PC2-4-04) and have replaced the red and yellow wire on it (As per an online guide). However, I am getting absolutely NO POWER to my new car radio which I got here: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/2041562/ar ... b-car.html

Can't figure out why this is happening. I got one for my car too (Ford Mondeo) and both radios work in it without issue. I dont believe it's the wiring harness as the harness powers the old Grundig radio without problem. I have definately got the wirisg set up correctly for the new radio's electrics layout. Anyone know why this might be happening? The only thing seemingly different thing is that the grundig has a (removable) chip with 5 written beside it whereas the new, Tokai radio has a chip (also removable) with 10 written on it. Would this difference be causing the problem?

I'm normally able to figure stuff like this out but this one has really got me stumped and I have no choice but to ask the experts

Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The chip thing is a fuse, shouldn't be a problem unless it or the fuse protecting that circuit (Also 10A, but covers a few other low power things) has blown.

A quick run through with a cheap multimeter (or test light, though a little harder to do) would show if the earth & perm/switched lives are ok once it passes through the harness adapter.

I will be bringing it in to get a Cigarette lighter socket fitted so I'll see if they have a multimeter or, better yet, they will fix it for me.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the help so far.
