My cd player is just showing PROTECT and not working??any ideas please

If its a 6 disk cd system the cd tray is wedge causing the cd option to not work. Most of the time one of the cd slipped out of its position causing it to wedge

If the radio works but the CD player doesn't it's something internal to the unit. The radio and CD player get their power source from the same wire that goes into the unit.

is it more of a clicking

I know it sound crazy, but turn the system on, press eject while using a PLASTIC knife to lift the CD in the player. If the system is stock also try disconnecting the radio fuse for about 10 minutes or so with the car off. Reconnect it to see if the radio resets. You'll know the power completely went out because you'll have to reset your stations. By Resetting, hopefully the issue will solve itself. In a few of the system issues I've seen, when the motor won't open the faceplate, or the CD player won't give the CD back. I usually remove the faceplate or disconnect the negative side of the battery for about ten minutes. Try this if the fuse removal doesn't work. Good look. Let me know how it goes. there are other things to try.

dear friend-as you say the fuses are there to protect these devices,but sometimes things goes wrong.it appeares that the output channels on you stereo is blown,you will have to remove and have it checked.

If it's not even yours yet, don't do anything to it. Ask whoever owns it what is wrong and if they will have it repaired before you buy it. If you were driving my car to see if you wanted to buy it and you started taking it apart, I'd have to beat you really well!!!

I searched quick and couldn't really find anything on a manual eject button. Flip through the manual a little bit and see what it has about the radio. If all else fails and you aren't worried about possibly breaking the stock cd player, some skinny needle nose pliers should reach in far enough to grip the cd and you can pull it out. But there is a good chance you could break the cd player in doing so.

i had sme prob remove the cd changer from dash disconect the wires plug them back in and that shoud fix it as for directions to removeing the changer the istructions are on the net.

did you pull the radio out? it might just be a loose wire or something simple.. the car is 10 years old stuff becomes loose
