Thanks Robin - you were right - found wire broken just where you said and found the connectors I was looking are behind the 'door post' side of the rubber! The door side of the rubber has refitted OK but am having difficulty getting the other end of the rubber boot- the bit that goes into the door post to sit correctly - not sure if it fits around or inside of the plastic bit that holds the connectors - either way does not seem to work - very frustrating. Am going to leave it now before a hammer goes through the window!

Anyway -thanks once again

Regards

Dave

hi guys sounds like you have experience of 406 stereo's and associated wiring!

we got a 406 family estate which had a decoding problem when we bought it and had to get peugeot to recode it as not the 4 number code!

before it went in you could tell the radio was working through the intermittent beeping.

on its return theres no radio! then we found a 406 stereo from a coupe with CD changer on ebay confirmed it had a code and was told it was working now some months later we've tried fitting it but no sound or radio plus the wiring of the changer won't fit the original stereo either.

we have tried a cheap aeriel to confirm if its the stereo or aeriel and as still no radio assume they fried the radio (too late to take back and complain) and the new onemust be u/s too (again too late to return!)

as the original cd work with screen working & steering wheel controls we are trying to attach the cd changer to save constant cd changing all the way to Portugal!!!

now the problem the socket in back of stereo is different to the coupe head unit, the changer has a round din plug and peugeot have just sold me a wiring harness that confuses me as no round plugs/sockets!!!

will try an ICE shop locally but does anyone know it there is a wiring connection extension piece that I could buy off the shelf or if there is any other places they hide stereo conections?

many thanks in advance
