    Currently I have no 12V going to the radio, antenna etc. I know it is on one circuit and I checked the fuse and it was blown. Changed it w/o power on and it blew immediately. As I have no wiring diagram I have some difficulty trying to find where the short is. So my question is first where can I get hold of a wiring diagram and second is this something that anyone have experienced before. Just learing several things about my Mondi Conv QV 84 but its fun. Have already got several great advice from this chat and it is fantastic with many experienced owners out there that are willing to give advice.

    I don't know if your car is the same, but make sure there isn't a coin in the cigarette lighter. Beyond that, unplug the radio and see if the fuse blows again. (a better way is with a meter to check for a short) If it blows, then there is a wire pinched or some other physical problem with the wires in the car. If it blows when you plug the radio back in, then the radio has some kind of problem.

    Axelsson, I have a factory hardcopy bound workshop manual (very nice copy) for your car. I can let you have it for a very reasonable price. Email me at [email protected] if interested.

    Got it figured out. It was the cigarette lighter - actually inside (no coin) and I had to take it out and fix it - now it works fine. Took me a while though as I went through all components on that circuit. However now I know - Anders
