Stereo / Head unit advice. Phase 2 172

[DominicJeans]

Hi again all

I need some advice regarding my head unit/stereo. It's the original head unit.

My car had a service last week. Anyway, since I’ve had the car back, the stereo has started cutting out with the word ‘speech’ coming up every now and then, and then it would work again randomly. It was doing this intermittently all weekend. Turning it off and on again seems to make it work, but not always. Anyway, a bit of research indicates that the ‘speech control’ functionality (that isn’t used in a clio) was being activated by grounding. This morning, the stereo has stopped working altogether- I suspect a fuse may be gone now.
My question is this: where are the fuses for the stereo? What order should I check things in?

Cheers folks!

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

A standard stereo and code can be bought for £15. I'd just get a new (secondhand) one tbh. Not worth the bother of messing about with it.

Cheers Daniel. Is there a chance of it being a wiring/fuse issue though?

The fuses are on the side of the dashboard. Open the passenger door and you'll see the panel.

Definitely worth looking, but if there's an issue with the wiring/headunit then the fuse will continue to blow.

Thanks Daniel for taking the time to reply.
