Another Radio,Mirrors, Cigarette lighter question

[ricketyclik]

Hi,

I blew the radio, mirrors, cigarette lighter fuse and replaced it, all working again but while they all used to work with the ignition off, now they only work with it on. This is mainly annoying because my after-market radio now loses all its pre-sets whenever I turn the ignition off.

What gives?

You need to check the wiring diagram and compare the wiring.

Also , does the after market radio wire up differently to the stock radio , if it is more power full than the stock radio , it might blow the fuse especially if the cigarette lighter and mirrors are used at the same time.

The always on circuit is via the RAD1 fuse in the engine bay Fuse box

The ignition switched circuit is via the CIG fuse on the driver's side foot well.

The radio circuit is attached.

You may have the two feeds reversed at the ICE unit.

Many of the DVD/TV/USB/ Bluetooth players have fuses in limne with the harness behind the ICE unit , so check them too.
