PROBLEM:

So there I was driving along listening to my CD when the CD Player and Centre Display which shows the time, radio, Blowers etc when off....

The only life I can get from the Control Panel which is the middle of the two is the rear heater ... all other controls are dead... and the CD player wont eject the disk...

The heater is stuck on hot blowing and the only way to turn it off is to take the fuses out

I got an expert car electrical guy out and he say the units all have power going to them.

So I assumed it was all to do with the main display or to give it the correct part name: DISPLAY ASSY-AV so off to EBay I went and bought another one....installed it today and still nothing... Having replaced all three units now its still dead :(

FIX:

Took it to the dealership and they found that the units only had 5 volts going to them.

They stripped back the wiring loom and found two broken wires in the engine bay loom. They soldered in new lengths of wires, insulted them and tested them and now its all working!

Hope this helps someone :)
 
Well done glad it's fixed for you now, and thanks for taking the time to post up the fix here :)

So the broken wires were actually in the engine bay, or back inside near the ECU?
 
The rear heater still worked because its the only item on that panel that is just an on/off switch. The rest go through some form of CPU which obviously didn't have enough power work. Very good.
Glad it's sorted mate and welcome

Sorry all it says on the receipt is "Strip wiring loom back and found two broken wires in engine bay loom"
