Hey folks

The headunit was working a few days ago, but now it wont   :undecided:

I checked the fuses and they're fine. I pulled the headunit out to see if any wires or plugs had come loose but it all looks fine.

A bit vague I know, but any ideas?  :smiley:

Headunit is only a year old Pioneer one. I've got power to my wipers, but my heater isnt working.

I havent got a multimeter to check the voltages, so i'll have to check that next week as I'm going away for the weekend  :sad:

I'm such an idiot. Was looking at the fusebox with my mates 87 Mk2 in mind. Mines a 90 spec so I was checking the wrong fuse  :grin:
