   Hi guys,
   
   I was having trouble with the radio a while back and while messing about with it it seems I have somehow disconnected this bit, now I cannot remember where it came from but it is attached the the back of the internal fuse box so it must be fairly local to there, but I cannot see anything that it is supposed to attach to. Any ideas where it is supposed to go as I currently have no radio, or interior lights.
   
   Everything seems to be plugged in behind radio and fuse box so I am stumped any help much appreciated!!!

   It doesn't connect to anything. It's the diagnostic connector and just sits by the fuse box. Check the radio fuse

   I have and the fuse seems to be ok. Tried a few different radios and none seem to be getting power. Any ideas what else could be causing it? Thanks

   The radio needs two power sources and an earth to turn on. A constant 12v live, an ignition switched 12v live and thee earth. If you have an aftermarket radio there should be red and yellow wires connecting thee radio to the Car wiring. Try swapping these over, red to yellow and vice versa.
