2005 XT5 D4D Head unit has no power

[Jamie-Rav]

Hi There. My RAV4 has been idle for 12 months. I took it to get a new mot and Battery and since then, there has been no power to the head unit (Voice Navigation B9001)

any ideas?

Hi - a few thoughts to get your started:

 

1) I'd check everything else electrical in the car eg interior lights, 12v socket etc and see if  anything else is not working. 

2) I'd take a look at the fuses and check them - often one fuse will be used on multiple things so the above step may make diagnosis easier.

3) It's odd for something electrical and benign like a radio to stop working, I'd be thinking possible mice damage since it's been sat for 12months... again step (1) may give some clues.

 

Let us know how you get on, and good luck.
