ive just swapped my cd player and now the car wont start, theres no life at all, the cd player works though, it looks like the supply comes from one of the switches below and ive checked the fuses in the engine bay, dunno if ive missed any? any ideas much appreciated

disconnect the cd player and see if it starts
and do the lights on the dash come on?
does the starter motor turn?

CD player - in a Mini! Good grief - it will jump all over the place! How will you hear it anyway - above the intake roar - and the gearbox whine!
