Hi everone

My head unit has loss power completely. Nothing else has stopped working.

I have no idea about car electrics. Where do I start?

Does your cigarette lighter work?

Hello mate. My cigarette lighter is working and the fuse at the back of the head unit is fine. Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks

I bloody hope not! It's less than a year old.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll get myself a voltmeter.

Thanks
