Hello
The other day i had to disconnect my negative battery terminal to access a bolt. I have reconnected but the problem is my stereo has now died. It worked for 20 minutes after reconnecting the battery neg terminal but now has died completely
I have checked all fuses and all apear to be fine.
Can anybody help me sort this out cause i need music!!!
As yet, i have not tested stereo connections with a multimeter, i thought some of the stereo guru's might know what I have done

You checked the fuse on the back of the deck?
Also check the earth.

I have checked the 15A that goes to the 12V constant and its fine
By earth do you mean ground wire to the head unit?

What sort of Stereo. Does it need a Security Code.
Factory Lancer Decks (Clarion), for example, will operate for a few minuits and then shut down without a code.

Hi,
I'm no stereo guru as such, although i've installed a fair few for friends and myself. I am, however, an electrician therefore have fault finding knowledge.
In my experience first check all fuses, then supply, then ALL connections. Most commonly it's just a loose connection, in the most awkward spot of course, that's the culprit. If all else fails, get a $15 multi meter from dicksmiths.
Hope this helps and hope u get it goin!
Cheers, Pomey!
