Hi,

I have an 1994 Mk3 Astra 1.4 and a JVC bog standard cd player and when I first installed it the stereo forgot all the presets everytime the ignition was turned off and did not have any power at 1 click of the key, this morning I decided to try and fix it.

I did a bit of research and found out that the fuse on my JVC HU can be put in two positions and if I move it to the other position the problem will be solved. So I did this, and yes the problem is solved and the cd player remembers the settings but I can now turn on the stereo without the key being in the ignition and when I turn the ignition off it has no effect on the stereo and I have to turn it off manually.

Please help.
 
Swap the red and yellow wire positions at the back of the unit. You are half way there, you just need to swap the other wire to where the fuse was fed from!
