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.
