Hiya i have a 2002 C3 sx
The radio doesnt find any signal so i checked the 12v connection as suggested on here. there is no power to it so im considering running a wire from the 12v in the cab to the amp block.
has anyone else done this? is it an easy fix?
if anyone can talk me through it or even better send me pics of how to do it id really appreciate it
ive seen posts advising to swap wires in the power block but halfords guy said this is more complicated and easily messed up (and im a newby at this)
thanks in advance

You checked the 12v for the amp with the radio switched on?


You could just cut off the wire for amplifier at the plug and join the wire to the ignition switched connection (red wire) using a Scotch Lock.

I don't have any pictures, sorry.
