New DAB stereo wiring problem blown fuse.

[citc4]

Hi all,

I have just tried to install a DAB radio Grundig GX-42DAB BT USB AUX RDS DAB+ in a Citroen C4 l 1.6 2005

I have used an adapter from original socket to DIN1

I tried to connect the yellow wire to the red to get 12V, the result was that the 20A fuse blew in the dashboard fusebox.

The radio won´t light up.

Now im stucked, should i run 12V+ fused 15A directly from the batteri to the radio, through the yellow wire in the connector?

Or what could be my best option?

Help is much appreciated!

All the best!

Yellow to the battery positive. Put a 20a fuse on it near the batter terminal.

Red to a switched ignition source.

Black to a solid ground.
