No Stereo, air con, display & interior light

[Steve84]

Hi all.
I have been reading old posts from other users but can't seem to find exactly what I'm after.
I changed the radio yesterday and all has been well until today when the stereo switched off. All other things above are now off.
Checked fuse for radio in side of dash and that's ok.
My car us a 52 plate 172.
Any advise is welcome and thankfully received.
Thanks again.
Stephen.

There's 2 fuses

 

[Steve84]

Right. Is it in another fuse box or just different fuse in same fuse box. ?
Thanks.

Pretty sure they're in same box, u got a manual? Will prob b same as cig socket

 

[Steve84]

Great, I will have a look. I have not got a manual but will check that fuse tomorrow.
Thanks.

 

[Steve84]

Btt.
Can't seem to find any other fuses relating to the above components blown.
Please any advise welcome.

Don't have my manual to hand but had a quick search, should be fuses F7 & F29

 

[Steve84]

Right found the blown fuse thanks.
All works for split second then fuse pops again.
I will take dash to bits and try and find the culprit.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks Steve.

Most likely a wire will be getting trapped in cage and shorting out fuse, some electrical tape on the stereo loom should fix the problem- test with stereo pulled out. Had this happen a couple of times when I fitted radios as a job, some cars have little space behind the radio, best bet is to reach up between glovebox and centre console and pull the cables down as you slide radio back in
