Recently put the stock radio that came with my vl back in, previous owner installed an aftermarket one so i rewired an original loom to go into the radio, soildered and taped all connections but when i turn it on its like its not getting enough power all lights go on and aerial goes up but the screen flashed for a second then goes off. any ideas?http://vid1291.photobucket.com/album...psafgicpig.mp4 (http://vid1291.photobucket.com/albums/b542/elliotrule/C80AF329-6906-48B8-9A4F-0D4F58CBA84B_zpsafgicpig.mp4)

I would doulble check your earths and that's a calais radio. Wiring looms were slighly different

Okay, where would i be checking earths? My electrical knowledge is limited (im a plumber) ---------- Post added 06-10-14 at 14:44 ---------- Okay, where would i be checking earths? My electrical knowledge is limited (im a plumber)

Your earth will be at the back of the radio in the loom. Is your vl a calais?

It was an earth that i missed the loom i had didnt have a wire for it so i connected it straight to the earth from the radio. Stays on now but have no am/fm had the same problem with the previous head unit, played cds just no radio so i guess that would be a fault in the aerial cable? And yes its a calais.

I'd check the coax cable to the aerial, I'd get a multimeter and do a continuity test.

Cant test for that with my multimeter but the radio can find stations by itself when scanning just get no sound or even static

Earth is to the body of the radio

Anyone had this problem? Finds stations when scanning but gets no sound

If it has power but makes no noise then it is ***t, ask a stereo shop to do a bench test.
