you will need the red and the yellow connected

one is a permanent live, the other is the switched live.

does the cd player work?? may sound silly but

[twistysnovagte]

ive connected the red to the yellow which still works the "cd"player,but there is no display and no sound,im thinking with the stereo being in the shed for nearly 8 month,it could of gained condensation etc,im saying this as ive just used my original cassete player out the nova which has been in the wardrobe upstair's for 4 year's and works, display, sound everything!??.would you agree its time for the hammer!

if its a kenwood mask i think there is a break in the flat ribbon that joins the face back plate to the stereo.

[twistysnovagte]

well ive been searching ebay and there's quite a few nice one's on there for very little mone,y so im probaly going to go for one of these.

[Spudly]

Silly question but youve pressed the source button on the front havent you as some will come on but wont power up untill the button is pressed?

[brainsnova]

also try the reset button and if it is a mask one you can buy the rippon to sort it if thats the fault.

Yep, thats right. Black can earth anywhere, there's bound to be an earth point near the stereo somewhere. If not, there's one to the left of the steering column.

Blue wire will be the remote turn on for the amp.

You'll also of course need to run power to the amp.

easy thing to do is get an iso conecter from halfrauds and it comes with a wiring diagram.
Much easyer to work with than lots of wires everywere imo.
