No power to HU and Dash Clock

[Lowden]

As above, checked all fuses in both internal and external boxes, all good.

Perm live is dead, how would i go about a fix?

Anyone have input please or could point me in the right direction?

 

[Fudge]

if you get a torch and shine it at the clock can you see the numbers?

 

[Lowden]

Hi, nope it's dead completely

 

[skinz]

My bets are still on a fuse

 

[Lowden]

Is they a 3rd fuse box somewhere I don't know about? I've already switched out the fuse in the box at NS door with a new one but still no luck

 

[skinz]

There's 2 fuses in box at n/s door. I posted to a thread before but can't see my previous posts as I'm on phone atm- but if you can search my previous posts it wasn't that long ago

As above, they're both on the same fused circuit. Of course it could be a break in that circuit, but the chances of that happening are slim to none.

I checked all fuses in the box, all looked good, I'll have another look tomorrow, just noticed tonight aswell that my interior light isnt working when door opens or i turn it on, guess that runs from the same feed aswell.

That was the third thing! Knew there was 3 things on that circuit.

Yeah, it's basically your permanantly fed 12v circuits. Stereo and clock to preserve time + settings and interior light obviously so you can turn it on whilst the key's out of the ignition.

With all my fuses looking good/ok what would be my next port of call? I'm at a loss as i don't want to rewire the bloody thing lol

It's all earths under the dash have a look there

 

[skinz]

Have you checked fuse F7 and F29, are you just looking at them or checking the continuity with multimeter?

As mentioned above if the fuse is fine, then most likely a broken wire- easiest way is to use a spurfuse and tap off another 12v supply

hey it's just a visual check on the fuses, i've seen how to use a spare fuse to re-route for the HU but not to allow me to get full function of the clock and interior lights aswell.
