It's the unit on the right you need to check, that's the radio tuner. Is it wet down there? are there any signs of rust or corrosion?

Lift the radio tuner up & out of it's metal casing. I would suggest re-seating the 17 pin multipin plug on it, to see if it makes a good connection again.

To do this, you need a flat bladed screwdriver. Gentling push the end into the black plastic clamp that holds the connector on, you'll see a little indentation showing where to put it.



Once you've prized it up it will then be free for you to pull off (but be warned it is a little stiff.)

Once off, lift the little blue horse shoe shaped clamping pin out which will release the additional two mini connectors, these are for the CD and Tape unit.



Put them back in again, and clamp shut with the blue pin, then offer up the 17 pin plug back to the radio tuner and snap shut by pushing forward & down.

This may well remake a good connection.

Let us know if it doesn't work, and we can try something else.

BTW, I've merged this thread with your original one to keep them together, and moved it to the I.C.E Forum.

Hi Reebs
As another Southampton man do you, by any chance, like working on other peoples 75s as much as it seems you like working on your own? You obviously like sorting out ICE problems and mine has a few issues.

Hi Ken, yes I've just seen your thread too, take a look over there

Guys you have to admire Pauls (Reebs) how to's.
Any one of those would take me a week to compile :

There's also the back if the satnav comp itself which can get damp/corroded.. But don't take the plugs off that incase you shut the navcomp down mid flow. Best to wait until light goes out and then do a battery disconnect.

Actually...... Paul what do you think of a battery reset incase the navcomp just has it's instructions a bit FUBAR?

. Glad Herne Bay is on the mend. Must come down for a look see again.

Yep Steve that would be my next suggestion,

Eject the nav disc
open the bonnet, boot and drivers door
wait for approx 1 & 1/2 mins until the Red LED goes out on the nav computer and the video module fan in the spare wheel well goes silent
then disconect the battery and go ahead and remove the nav computer.

The two mulipin connectors on the rear (Purple & Blue) are held shut with a black plastic clamp, just flip it up on each connector and the plugs will pull off with ease.

Check for corrosion or water damage then re-fit.

Hi Dave. Isn't that just the best!

Glad to "hear" it's working and a free solution to boot.

Someone did a thread a while back called does your car fix itself? ... You can see why

Maybe the lil lady just had a spot of laryngitis

Now it's time to enjoy.... And Thank you, I shall take you up on your kind offer sir as soon as I get the summer mostly out of the way.

ATB...... Steve.
