There are 2 supplies and fuses for the radio (via ignition switch and direct). Is the display completely blank?

Where are we going with "Is the display completely blank?"? - I ask because I have a completely blank screen on an otherwise fully operational stereo.
Citroens:-

Yes, I want to know too as my Activa wireless randomly looses power, just as it's been switched off...

It may have the same root cause...

Be aware that the fuse panels can also suffer from unreliable internal soldered joints (generally repairable)

Really? Like wiper intermittent relays? There's a (nasty) surprise.

Seriously, I'm always horrified at the crappy quality of automotive electrics. A dozen years ago I was appalled to find that the internal circuitry in my Montego's rear light units was stamped out of electroplated sheet steel - which went rusty when a bit of moisture got in. Not repairable, new light unit - excessive cost cutting in the last years of sorry story of BL/Rover. Saw the same problem a couple of weeks ago on an Audi A6 7 or 8 years old - German quality :rofl2: eye-watering price for a new cluster.
