was doing some work in my car.....now the cdplayer will not come on.......i checked the 20a fuse.....its fine....

i did pull the speakers out and put them back in.......also there was a little blue wire on the drivers side seat belt that got broken.......any suggestions?

Sounds like a good excuse to throw it in the bin where it belongs and get a decent (i.e. modern) CD/tuner.

heh that stock cd player could almost be sold for as much as a nicer new one

JKM

Okay... what kind of work were you doing to the car, and what kind of cd player do you have?

Does the tuner still work on it or does the radio not work at all?

Zer0 Cylinder

it isnt the stock cd player. its a pioneer.

the radio does not come on at all........what i was doing: putting a new interior in the rear....i mean the only wires i even touched were the speaker ones and the blue one that broke off the seat belt

forgot to mention, my stock clock would sometimes work, sometimes wouldnt, and when it did work was really dim.......now its fully bright...wtf did i do??

NZConvertible

Only to a very stupid person...

That's the sort of info we need at the beginning.

Aftermarket head units usually have a fuse on one of the power leads. Check it.

Zer0 Cylinder

awwwww, so i gotta pull the cd player out?

the cd player is a pioneer deh3100 if anyone wants to check.

NZConvertible

Just so we're sure, it's completely read right? No power at all.

Zer0 Cylinder

yea, its completely blank, you hold the power button, it wont cut on.

NZConvertible

If the car's stereo fuse it okay, you'll need to pull the head unit to check it's own fuse.

While you were working on those speakers, was it switched on? Touching the positive and negative speaker wires together while the unit's on can cause internal damage. Guess how I know…

first make sure the wires were messing with didn't get grounded out, and that they are not making contact with each other.

Check the HU's fuse, hopefully you didn't **** up the internal amp...

JKM

Yeah, what they said.

Also, if you yank the CD player out, check to make sure that the power and ground cables are connected correctly. For the longest time, I couldnt' figure out why I had a gremlin in my CD player...turns out the ground cable wasn't connected properly. Reattached, workes 100% to this day.
