Hello all, its been a while since i got the cobra 2000 working with your help, and its been fine ever since. Recently i noticed a slight crackle on the Audio so i opened it up to have a look around. I was checking out the wiring and noticed a brown wire had come adrift . I have taken a picture of the attached end whick is on the right of the two cans , on the trace underneath it connects to the white wire in the picture it appears to me the main voltage negative. if anyone had a picture of where the other end goes it would sort the problem.. also the radio is working with it detached. What is the function of the wire. Many thanks
