Radio not working

I recently bought a new car cd player. I installed it and it didn't work, so I exchanged it for another one, that one still didn't work. I re-installed the old cd player that I was upgrading from and now that doesn't work. It worked fine before I uninstalled it. I checked the fuse and that seems to be ok. So now I have no idea what is going on and I am getting really fed up with all this, so some ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

Did you check to see if you wired it the same way you removed it? Make sure you are wiring it the exact same way as it was initially.

SOURCE: Radio will not work

It could be a fuseabel link in your cars wiring system that is causing the problem...you will have to get an ohmeter and test both the main power wire and the ground wire and make sure there is current...If that doesn't turn up a result then you can always install a positive wire from your ignition from the "ACC" terminal to a fused wire and bypass the whole system. You will also need a ground wire somewhere close to the unit itself. Do not link directly to your battery terminals or you will get a "HUM" in your sound system becasue of your alternator. Good Luck!

SOURCE: cd in car player will NOT eject -any ideas ??

The only way to fix your problem is to have a radio repair shop take it apart. You cannot fix this on your own. Remove the radio or get a quote from a repair shop first. If you cannot find a repair shop , talk to the parts guys at you local ford dealer about sending it out for repair.

SOURCE: Blinkers stopped working

I have a 1994 F150 and the blinkers and E Flashers were out. I bought some flashers from NAPA and put them in with no effect. I noticed my E Flashers were still on from before when I was trying to switch them on. Turned the E flasher switch to the off positiion and the trun signals with the new Flasher are working. I thought I had another flasher spot around the back of the fuse box but didn't have time to look at it yet, so my E Flashers are still not working.

My turn signals won't work with the E flasher on. ??? Hopefully just that, the Flasher around the back.

SOURCE: CDs are stuck and CD player will not work. Factory

From everything I've heard, this is a very common problem and can be costly to have repaired. One forum I found had this posting...maybe it will work for you.

"This is what I did to my In-Dash 6 disc CD Player.

Rather that toss the radio like most are saying to do you can try this first.

Pull the radio out and remove the screw on each side and the 2 on the back. Pop off the cover and you can see the CD's. The part of the CD changer may have not fully engaged the CD it wanted to play and it is stuck not knowing what to do. Press on the CD that so that the part that spins the CD is locked into the center of the CD. Leave the top open and plug in the CD player. It should start going through all of the cd's then if the CD error is gone it will play again."

Radio not working

It sounds like you may have accidentally shorted the power wire to ground during the installation and "fried" it. Check to make sure you have power on both sides of the fuse: if you don't, then try replacing the fuse, no matter what it looks like. if you do have power on both sides, then the wire is almost certainly the culprit. Remove the fuse, then check continuity from the fuse to the connection at the radio. If it doesn't show good, then you'll have to replace the wire. Hope this helps!

VW beetle new CD player draining battery! I recently bought and installed a new CD player to my 2001 vw beetle. Previous was factory tape player. After a week of new player battery drained completely.

Did you find a solution? If not reconnect the power wire to either ignition or accessory, this way when the key is taken out there will be no power at the radio

If i get a new cd player/radio for my jetta work if in safe mode?

If you buy another factory radio it'll need the unlock code to work with your factory alarm system. But if you go with an after market radio it'll work just fine, your alarm will just think there's no radio installed.
