Was looking at my headunit connectors earlier, only to discover a wire that was hanging out of the black plug - the wire is solid yellow, and i've no idea what it's for.
However lateley my cd changer (rubbish themselves anyway) has stopped working, and 2 replacements havent helped!
Could these two things be related, and more importantly, does any one know what this wire is for?
(2000 V Megane)
Cheers!! |

Yellow wire is usually a 'remote' wire which only becomes live when the ignition is switched on.
It may be that the yellow wire you see is the remote V+ for the cd changer and so it's not powering up.
Trace the yellow wire, is it coming from the head unit or the loom or the cd changer?
Is it a factory fitted unit and changer? |

yes it's the factory stuff unfortunately - the yellow wire seems to disappear into the loom - it should be attatched to the black power plug |

what i was asking was whether it was connected to the problem, not how to reconnect a wire - I think I'm capable of that thanks mate.
The car, like all renaults, is a piece of crap anyway as far as electrics go
Secondly, I now know the problem is not related.
Not meaning to be a dick or anything, but I was just looking for a bit of advice, but nope I get abuse!
Cheers!! |
