Old stereo, ready for removal...
Getting close...
Damian was hoping that the old stereo would have an adapter plug, so he could simply buy a new adapter for his new stereo... alas, they were cut and rejoined rather than using an adapter plug... Of course!!
New stereo, all wires joined... powers up, says it's playing a CD, but no noise from the speakers... not even a crackle...
After literally hours of checking, double checking, fishing around under the dash, checking fuses, wiring, everything, Damian looked under the rear parcel shelf and found a speaker with a broken connection - the speaker wires were hitting the metal. The stereo manual says that if this happens, no noise will emit from the stereo. After putting a bit of tape over the wires, hey presto, the stereo started working!! *sigh*
When going to put the surround back in, Damian noticed that the UHF coax had detached from the end... yet another thing to fix!!
After fixing it, the stereo and surround were reinstalled... Looking the goods!!
With the stereo now working, looks like Damian will need to replace the rear speakers to ensure it continues to do so!!
Heaps of time... *rolleyes*
Well done Damian nothing like the usual debarkle to keep you in line.
ReplyDeleteI can not believe it is only three week till the Camp Quality esCarpade.
Even though Booger Mobile will be surely missed I am sure Retro Rock- it will make a big hit,and also a lot less headaches for you lol
I'm waiting for the less headaches part!! ;-) As we get closer to esCarpade, I find that I'm missing Booger Mobile more and more... hopefully a successful event will settle my mind and let me believe that I have made the right choice...
