Your first job will be to check the wiring of the four wires marked DC source.
RED: PERMANENT live.
ORANGE: SWITCHED live when on SECOND click on ignition.
WHITE: sidelights.
BLACK: decent earth.
It's usually the last that is wrong

when fitting a center pod where the clock usually sits its more than likely the power and side light connections were taken from the old clock wiring. You would need to lift the pod out to check this.
Or simply get a multi meter set it to DC volts and use a scale above 12V test between the
black and red with the ignition on to see if you get power to the unit.
If you don't get anything then theirs your answer.
