no power to radio

Hi All,

Got a new car yesterday (1995 corolla) and today was attempting to install my head unit to replace the stock cassette deck in there. Done it a few times before on other cars, connected up all the wires no probs.

When I went to test it, it didn't turn on. Rechecked the connections, then tried using a wire directly from the battery to the power (not ignition) lead of the head unit, and it worked. Radio fuse was fine, but I changed it anyway, and I know it's all good there because the ciggie lighter works (same fuse for both lighter and radio).

So, does anyone know what the problem in the power wire (blue/yellow) could be? I don't really want to run a new wire from the battery (with a fuse in the middle).

Thanks

bad splice probably, did you check for power at that pin in the new radio harness?

Problem solved (it seems that the 'radio' fuse is the ignotion power, the constant power goes through the 'dome' fuse that also connects to the interior light)
