Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I installed a head unit tonight and couldn't seem to get the drivers side speakers to work (unsure if they ever worked though but I was pretty sure they did).

Also I am having problems with my dash light as well, it seems to have died just wondering if the head unit is in any way linked to the dash not lighting up and is there is some type of weird setup for the front speakers.

If you guys have any info on this it would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Aaron :(

youve wired the power to the illumination circuit . prolly find your tail lights arent going either . get a 1.5 volt battery and touch it on the two wires that you think are for said speaker . should hear a click/pop when you connect it

Arrrrhhh yes the tail lights are out.

Thank you.

ok so left speakers were easy but I had H plugged in for a ground (earth) which on the diagram is says not to do. all the Other wises look correct from what a can see on this diagram.

All the wires are different colours for the nissan side but they seem to match up location wise.

PS. having H plugged into earth worked. Is this the illumination cable?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
