Hi

I have a X reg Golf Mk IV 1.6 engine.

I've purchased new speakers, pulled out the stereo, located the speaker wires for the rear doors, snipped them and attached bullet connectors and the new speakers, however went to test them and no power is no going to the stereo itself;

1) The correct wires were cut as tested the system before attaching the new speakers and worked as expect with no sound coming out of the rear speakers
2) Fuse for the radio is fine, tried two other fuses to be sure
3) Stereo works in another car

The only thing I can pin-point is that there is a yellow wire loose that wasnt loose before, from memory it seemed like this yellow wire was haphazardly placed along side another wire.

The hayne manaul makes no reference to this yellow wire and there is no logical 'socket' for it to be placed in.

It appears that this wire is the problem, i.e. it worked before when loosely connected somewhere but im worried its a red herring and theres something else that could be wrong!
