radio stopped working (1 Viewer)

Dont fix something that aint broke !
My old radio worked fine but I decided to put a new and better radio in my 2003 ducato and when I fitted it the radio worked find but wouldnt push all the way in due to the electrical terminal box so I pushed it in with a screwdriver gently and when I tried it again the radio wont work and the old one wont either so I checked the fuses and all seems to be good and then checked the wires and they all seem fine, the fuse on the radio is ok also but I cant understand what the problem is.
Anyone out there had similar problems or can advise me on something !

Does it work off the starter battery or the leisure battery?

Could be an in line fuse somewhere or just a poor connection?

Sounds like you may have pulled a connector apart somewhere in the wiring harness when you pushed it in, something had to give to make space ?

I've checked all fuses that I can find, under bonnet and in the dash and on the radio and all ok and I've checked all the wires I can see and we have come away for the weekend and I'm sat on site still looking for the problem

I found a 2nd red(live) wire going to the back of my connectors and put a live feed from the battery to the back of the electric block so it's obviously the live that's faulty so if I can't find where the problem is and I used a live of the cigarette lighter would I need to use a wire with a fuse in it or would a direct wire be ok with it ?

You should have two live. One constant and one on the ignition. The constant is for the radio memory and the ignition is so it goes on and off with the key. < They tend to be red (ignition) and thinner yellow for constant however from what i have found so far with dam Fiat is never trust the norm Get a multi meter and the van manual for what wire does what. Look on the fiat forum as they have lots of downloads for manuals and radio manuals
