Thanks everyone, no, no separate Amp or Amplified Aerial ekjdm, all standard
and Van; go have a review of some photos relating to whatever you've been doing, remind yourself that you're good at all sorts o' stuff.
Another small update
Sound is restored to the Radio, I've put Fuse 14 back in. Removing it cured my Parasitic Battery Drain back in October 2018. It was a no-brainer at the time coz it deals with the Theft Alarm' and Electric Seats.... well the first I don't use coz the car's never had a 'Plip' key that works and the second my car hasn't got electric seats anyway, so I thought I'd not miss the Fuse.
....or maybe I was wrong, coz since removing it back in Oct 2018
sound with regard to the Radio, as described; had gradually got worse
as had the locking system's 'party piece'
...this involved the Central Locking activating the moment you pull the NSF Door Release (which I'm sure has no electrical connection), thereby preventing access / egress.
So, Fuse 14 is back in place, but that means my Parasitic Drain is back too, so I can listen to the Radio, but I have to disconnect the Battery when the car's stood.
My Thread "Compression: Turnover" related to this, but its a bit all over the place [
that's not like me, lol] and I don't appear to have noted the eventual resolution there, so I wouldn't bother finding it if I were you. For that reason I've not included a link. I'm sure I did say what'd happened somewhere here but not on the relevant Thread!
The below pics were taken back in Oct 2018
Anyone got any idea:-
1: why disconnecting this Fuse affected my Speakers? (only the Speakers, the Radio Unit itself worked as normal, just without sound)
2: why the issues resulting from removal of this fuse took over a year to 'kick in' properly, probably not 10,000miles this past year, but certainly 5k+
3: how to fix my parasitic Drain. I know its on the Fuse 14 Circuit....
...maybe next thing to do will be to pull the plug on the little box o' tricks inside the Drivers Door; there's a PCB inside, its purpose is something to do with the Central Locking I think; but that's all I know
and while you're at it...
What's a 'Shunt' Fuse? (Fuse 8), what's that mean? Don't talk to me about Shunts, lol! Can't find Daughter a car, nothing out there fitting the description, with a documented Cam Belt change. Favour a 206SW or Ford Fusion, preferably with the 1.4HDi; anyone got one?
