Hi,
I have recently purchased a 2004 GXL Prado, I decided to install new stereo to enable ipod to be played when off-roading (nothing worse than skipping CD's and no radio reception).
I have had a problem with the install, I decided to hard wire in lieu of after market wiring harness (first mistake).
After removing the original stereo, I used test globe to find the 12V constant and ignition wires, there does not appear to be any power on any of the wires. I went straight to the fuse box in engine bay, there are 2 radio fuses highlighted as radio, both are not blown. Cannot see any fuses marked as radio in fuse in lower dash on drivers side of cabin. The Wiring harness connector on left below stereo is connected.
Are there any other fuses connected to this circuit that could cause the above???
Is there any other issues with prado's which could cause this, I have successfully installed dozens of stereos to other cars over the years but this has nearly gotten the better of me.
Help is appreciated, next step auto-electrician.
thanks Josh.
