[jennifer1987]

[Scott]

what Mk saxo, 1 or 2?

Swap the red and yellow wires at the back of the head unit, see the FAQs tab at the top. Try that

[jennifer1987]

mark to. already swapped the wires round

[Predator_R32]

just give the wires a good check then mate, if all else fails take it to a repair shop

[deanomx206]

try it in ya mates car? if it dont work in there then its the unit... if it does its ure car!!

[deanomx206]

you checked the fuses on your car? that you aint popped one of them?

[pat_man_vts]

most probably going to be a dodgy wire somewhere, there all pretty weak on hu's, when i changed mine last i manage to break two of them :p

look for any weaknesses in the wires and correct :)

[mallboy]

try connecting the red and yellow wires together and attach them to the yellow (constant) wire

[Ruffgeezer]

no, if there is power but it doesn't light up, it can only be 2 things, either the headunit doesn't have the live signal from the ignition on wire, or the faceplate isn't contacting the headunit properly/the contact on the faceplate are dirty
