Magnet Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello Steve, We take it you immediately removed the fuse you put in?? Suspect some bodged wiring associated with the defunct radio as the first port of call. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Great. So you, or preferably an auto electrician now has to find the source of the short circuit. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
