Hi All,

I was installing a new head unit and something has blown whilst i was doing so. I didn’t have the battery disconnected when installing the unit (I'm an idoit!!!) and some of the bar wires crossed paths. The dome light went out and the car won’t start now – the keyless remote also wont work. All fuses are OK and all other electrical items are operational. I’m thinking that the immobiliser has something to do with it but I have no idea how it is controlled or where is it placed – I imagine that its quite hard to get too as to remain tamper proof.

Has anyone else experience simular problems and can it be repaired by a novice?

Cheers,
Matt

Are you sure you checked the correct fuses? The radio fuse is under the hood, not under the dash, and if I recall, the dome and the radio are on the same fuse line.
