A weird problem. Was wiring my head unit adaptor at the weekend. Wiring looked messy as you would expect but it had badly wired iso connectors. I plugged in my power plug and headunit turned on, lovely. After chopping off the connectors and soldering on a jvc adaptor and blanking off ends of old speaker cables etc I plugged in my head unit. Made a little noise as usualy but then wouldn't turn on. It performs functions that it does when turned off. Screen will display time if i press a button and eject works. But the power button just does nothing. So obviously it has a constant 12v and ground so what can the problem be? could it have anything to do with ignition wire? I did manage to cross the live and earth with the old wiring which obviously popped a fuse, but surely it can't have affected anything else? HU wasn't connected at the time so wouldn't have been damaged.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Cheers.
