I have a Daihatsu Charade 1988 and just put a secondhand stereo unit in and now having intermitant electrical trouble. I re-call this can happen when fitting stereo's as it was on a previous discussion thread, but can't remember what the problem was.

Most likely wired the unit up wrong. Probably confused an accessory wire with an illumination wire, which would cause fuses to blow, lights not to work etc.

the biggest problem is getting the smoke back in the wires when leaks out\

Thanks for the interest, once the car is warm and has run for a while the ignition is dead (no red lights) and the car won't turn over, I thought it may be related to the recent stereo install but have disconnected the unit and it still happens. Leave the car for 10 mins or so and the ignition lights are back on and it starts again. I have checked all fuses etc they seem Ok !

Loose fusible link/battery terminals/earth! Faulty coil! Distributor problems! I'm just throwing out ideas by the way.;)

Dead as in it won't crank after turning it off ( meaning it runs ok and when you switch it off it won't restart!). If so check the battery terminals pull them off clean them up on the lead side and actual battery terminal. Refit and and tighten up properly
