hi Adie

Most likely a short somewhere , make sure no wires are touching and that you have a proper ground

Didi you connect to the 2 wires Green and Black on the head unit? And Connect to Blue /Orange and Blue/Pink on the car Loom?

Thanks Sean for your comment. Fortunately it was the battery that had gone flat, while I trying to get controls to work...... Jump strated it last night and took it for a drive.... left it overnight, started first time this morning.....

How long was the drive? I doubt that it was long enough to fully charge your battery. If you don't achieve this after a discharge, not only will the battery let you down again but its life will be shortened. Car batteries like to be fully charged at all times. ;)

You'd be well advised to connect a mains powered smart charger for at least 24 hours, preferably a bit more.

Morning Simon

It was about 40 miles round trip. It started this morning with no hesitation.
