I found the wire that should be the brown / red one and I located it in the fuse box but it has no current (First photo indicated with orange arrow).
I took out the connector (First photo) where current should pass and I checked it with ground and touching each terminal one by one and it does not give me 12 v.
I have been with this for several hours and I cannot find the solution or think of anything else. Can you guide me how to continue?

I want to take the opportunity to change the burned-out heating bulb and I don't know how to get it out, can you help me with this too?

There's no pics. I am guessing cabby, I am not 100% sure there is a convenient ignition-live at the back of the fusebox but there's plenty of info online of what the extra available connectors do. If you are still struggling, let us know and I'll try find the info.
You're right. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have edited my answer by uploading the photos

The arrowed connector, how many brown/red wires are connected to it? Just the one or are there two. Have you got any more brown/red wires by the radio?
In the connector with arrows you only have a brown / red one. This is the same for radio.
Checking the continuity of the cable, it is the same that goes from the connector to the radio and has no current to give positive to the radio.
Do you know what the fuse can be?

I think the problem is in the ignition key.
I have taken positive from the blue / black wire that goes to the rear window heated switch because it is a positive after contact.
Thanks everyone for your help
