Headunit Illumination Help

Hi All,

I have a Sanyo FXD-RS50 which came with the car, nothing too flash, however satisfactory for my needs at this point in time.

The problem I am currently experiencing as of late, is that the display screen fails to illuminate much of the time. It may occassionally light up it's usual blue, however 20 mins later it will go out. It has become an annoyance to be unable to read the display screen at night, yet even more of a nuisance is that it may occassionally flicker on/off, and catching a blue flash of light out of the corner of one's eye can be quite off-putting.

When it has come on for a period of time, I have switched the headunit off, or cut the ignition, in order to see if it will illuminate on start-up, sometimes yes, sometimes no, mostly no.... and if it does, the next day upon startup it usually does not light up.

I have checked the wires at the back of the unit, in order to see if they are secure, yet this is where my experience with such things ends.

I'm interested in finding out whether this is a fault with the headunit itself, wires, or otherwise,.... if this can be rectified, or if I should invest in a higher end headunit.

Any assistance is much appreciated, thankyou for your time.

does it have a detachable face... i had an old shitty no-name headunit n it did the same thing... i eventually worked out that it was the detachable face and that some of the gold-plated contacts between the headunit itself and the front display were not making contact...

i eventually got the shits and baught a pioneer...

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
