I have a 2001 Lincoln LS. I had to buy a new battery for my car.It was installed and now my cd player wont come on. I checked the fuse and it is not blown out. What else can I check?

Check valet in glove box

Hi Eric, I'm glad to help!
Eric, you'll need to check power and ground at the CD Player Connector. If it has both power and ground then you need a new CD Player. If it doesn't have either power or ground, which ever one it deosn't have you'll need to find out where it gets it power from OR where it gets its ground from and repair it. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Eric.

You have fuses and relays-

Under the hood.pass side,front,next to washer bottle and ABS motor

On the right side kick panel,under glove box. Have to remove cover

In trunk,lift cover,left of battery.

No codes on an LS. Just checked my manuals and called the dealer for you. Some 99 on fords do,not yours. You have to pay diagnostic time for scanner hook up and entertainment troubleshooting, dealer or local shop. eg; your radio broke!

pull the radio fuse out to see if the battery hold then check your radio/cd player for defects

If the battery is draining at all ,beyond 40 milli amps continuous,which is what keeps the radio clock,pcm (computer) and other devices powered up,then something is not timing out,such as windows,door locks,on the LS the radio etc. Retained memory is just that or it goes to sleep ie no current flow. I won't go into how you check current flow but it is fairly easy. The time consuming task will be to find the offender. You could pull all the fuses and replace them one at a time,but need an ampere meter in the circuit,so that's why I won't go into it. Now fuses alone are just a start and time here is limited. The LS has an awfull lot of stuff. I have a 2004. Even the Alt and a long list of things could cause this.

My father inlaw just purchased a 2001 lincoln, with a six disc changer, Question is he loaded the unit ,and now he wants to eject the cd's and the changer won't open? any suggestions thanks

Make sure the battery is fully charged first. Now you need to find out if spark to the spark-plugs is present and that the fuel pump is working. Let me know and we'll go from there.

you really need to take the cd changer out of the dash,and then open the cd changer ,is one of you cds is making the problem,ones is remove it should be working fine,good luck

when you replaced the battery it was very possible that you may have blown a fuse. Check your fuses for your radio and your cig lighter.
