shiite my head hurts from trying to read that....

Ok so your power to the H/U stopped after you had to take it out to re-connect your VVT-light, correct?

Have you tried it without the VVT-light connected?

Check all of the wires/connections to make sure there's no loose wires anywhere or that there isn't any open spots on the wire itself where it can short itself out against another wire.

Check the fuse on the H/U I think they are normally 15A.(?)

i bet you blew the dome fuse. Check all your fuse boxes and replace any fuses, then tell us if it still doesn't work

[phatman3801]

check all the fuses i can find which are the ones in the engine bay and also the ones on the drivers side behind the little opo out compartment.and all ok, and ive run i multi meter on the yellow wire which is 12volt contant feed and no voltage and also the red wire and no power either

i suspect its a similar problem to my g/fs ae111
testing the voltage via the ciggy lighter socket while the car was in motion and went over a bump, shorted it out and the stereo went off.
No biggy i thought

went to change the fuse which had blown, to find that the previous owner had wrapped wire around it so it would still work, even tho it had blown.

That was dispite a spare fuse being only a cm away....

put the spare in and no power to the ciggy lighter or clock.. (so acc on 12v supply)

now have stereo hooked up to a 12v constant, which is a pain in the ass.

if you find the problem, let me know

and if i find it, ill let you know

im thinking there is another fuse somewhere...

Does you inside light work?

if not you will have blown the dome light fuse which is in the engine bay. Re-check the fuse or swap it with another fuse the same rating to try.
