Some local t*sspot ripped the aerial off my mini, and now my stereo has no power. I know the aerial has nothing to do with the power supply, but it stopped working immediately after it was ripped off, so it must be related somewhat.
I originally had a factory fitted Rover stereo, which I was getting no power to. As I was going to replace it anyway with a CD stereo, I switched it today, and still no power, so it's nothing to do with the stereo. I'm guessing it's a fuse, any ideas where to start looking, or what the problem might be? |

Check using a multimeter that you have a good ground through your ISO connector, your stereo could have been grounding out through your aerial.

Cheers, it makes sense that it would have something to do with the aerial, although not having a clue about electrics, I never would have guessed what!
