info centre not working

Post by RichardZ » Sun Jan 26, 2003 5:06 pm

Hi,<br><br>I know this question has been asked several times before, but I can't find the answer. Perhaps someone can help me, please! <br><br>Last week my car has been broken into. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Apart from a stolen radio, a smashed drivers side window, a badly damaged drivers side door and a parly ruined dashboard, my info centre stopped working. I remember this had something to do with the wires being cut, but I can't find which wires to reconnect. It's a terrible mess! <br><br>I think the white-white/black and the yellow-yellow/black wires are connected to the speakers. The other wires puzzle me a bit. There's brown(earth), red (aerial relay?), blue (life, switched) and red/gray (lfie, not switched). No other wires. <br><br>Can anyone help me?<br><br>Richard<br>480 turbo automatic 1991 <p></p><i></i>

According to some older posts two grey/red wires should be connected. Well, they are! And there's 12v on it, too.<br><br>But still not a working infocentre. The backlight is OK, but there's no info.<br><br>Where should I look? I'm feeling very unconfortable without knowing how much petrol I have left!<br><br>The damage done by this junky is well over 500 euro! Perhaps he got 20 euro for my radio to put into his arm. Grrrrrr<br><br>RichardZ<br>480 turbo automatic 1991 <p></p><i></i>

Sounds like wiring being ripped out pulling on other indirect wiring and causing a break at connection. Think you will need to pull the dash! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
