I can pout it back as it was before BUT I cannot work out how to connect the ribbon connector! The ribbon ends in a white strip and I can see there are connectors in the radio body but .... how do you get them to stick together?
Help please. It would be bad to have no sound but even worse, when the engine is started the radio tunes to a music station and cannot be altered!


The ribbon connectors generally 'clamp' in place. The last radio I stripped (not a CD80) was this way. The block in which the ribbon connector ends has a flip up top. Lift it up, it might have some kind of locking system that needs released, then the top of the block hinged up. Put the ribbon back on the connector and push the hinged top back down to clamp it in place.

Hope this is the same!
