Permament feed isn't connected properly. If you're using an adapter make sure one of the wires hasn't slipped out of it's terminal.

as the man says, got a feeling you may have to swap the two round, permanent and switched, some units need the two swapping round to maye with the cars loom properly

normaly swapping the red + yellow wires will work

i have a sony head unit. I found that on the connector block I had to connect the renault plug to the sony block mixed some of the wires up ie black to yellow, red to black. Trace the wires from your original wiring loom and make sure that the black from the loom goes to the black on your headset etc.

If this isnt the problem try swapping the red and yellow wires. or plugging both into one slot.

just realised you said when engine goes off. Do you have an aftermarket remote stalk adapter?

Nah leave those alone - id say the same as the other tho sounds like a wire problem

All you need to do is on the sony wiring block is swao the red and yellow wires with each other and it should be sorted, no need to touch reno wiring

 

[Ross M]

yep sorted already guys. and yes it was the yellow and red wires which needed swapped about .
