Can anyone help me with this.
Following several vanadalised aerials I have just fitted an electric
aerial to my '94 Astra. It worked with the engine off but when I switched
the engine on I had no radio at all. It doesn't work when the enigine is
off now either. Any advice welcome!


The famous mistake with older Vauxhalls is to connect a ground lead
from whatever you're fitting to a black ignition switched live in the
belief it's a ground (brown on Vauxhalls of that age). If you do this,
the second you turn the ignition on it'll blow the ignition feed fuse.
