Got a pretty basic JVC KD-G612 CD player in my corsa. It was fitted in the summer by an ICE shop in town. I dont use the car much so not really bothered to look at the problem with it till now.
Anyway the stereo only comes in with the ignition which is fine.
But when you turn on the igition the stereo comes on then says 'Goodbye' and turns straight off. Similarily when you turn the ignition off the same thing happens.
In other words the stereo never stays on. It did work when it was first fitted for about 2 weeks but never since.
Im shit with electrics so any help appreciated.
Cheers

When you turn the ignition off the same thing happens.

Its the contacts to the ACC feed in the ignition barrel. You need a new contact end for the barrel
New one is between £8 and £12

If you buy the part from autovaux :
http://www.autovaux.co.uk/StockItem.asp?AVCode=AVEL&AVNo=80&cat=20&carID=10
Thats for corsas 97 on
Vaux should charge £20/£30 to fit it if you went through the main desk, or if you go round the back and ask one of the lads they'd prob charge a tenner

For you it could also be the same knocking the pins back into place, either that or the connector to the barrell is loose.
