Overhead DVD monitor screen dead but sound plays through stereo

I have a Chrysler Voyager with DVD monitor fitted on overhead rails. Came to us without any instructions or info - late 2007 model. Put in a DVD in the console on dash and the relevant sound from the DVD plays through car stereo, but the drop down screen is completely black and not a flicker of life - any suggestion much appreciated. Thanks

    my fault.....it's not an a7 rosen (got confused as that's what i had in my old car !) - trying to ascertain what make this one is - but there is def no slot in dvd monitor unit but 2 slots on dash - one says cd/sat nav and the other says dvd (this is the one that plays through stereo if you use it but the monitor does not show any life).

If it's a Rosen dvd player the dvd will need to be put in the unit itself & not the unit in the dashboard! The dvd player mounted in the head ligning is a seperate unit from the stereo system fitted in your dashboard!
Sounds to me like you are putting a dvd into the dashboard stereo system which will play any audio through the car speakers...
Put a dvd into the Rosen unit itself & i am sure you will get a picture on the drop down screen! Remember that as far as i know all Rosen dvd players transmit the sound from the dvd to infra red headphones that should be included! Remember to check the batteries if you still can't hear any sound as they run down quick if the headphones are left on!

Hope this helps....

    If you've got a curcuit tester it may well be worth making sure power is getting to the dvd moniter plus check if the other cable (for transmitting the picture) is all in place?

    Is it all factory fitted equipment? ie dashboard stereo/dvd etc & dvd monitor? Reason i ask is because it's possible that whoever owned the car before you put the monitor in with a different head unit & not the factory unit put in from new? Would explain why there's no picture because it has been purposely disconnected?

    I'll do some fishing around & see what i come up with.....

Chrysler grand voyager dvd in car system won't

Does it play a cd? If so than the decoder for the dvd portion of the head unit may be bad. I would replace it if that's the case.

I bought a XoVision gx2801 at a yard sale for 5bucks, the screen turns on and says no signal. what do i connect the yellow cords to on my XOvision gx2801 go to?? could it be the yellow cords no longer...

Does the monitor have a dvd player built in to it? Are you trying to play video's? Or is it just a monitor and your trying to get a tv signal? I believe that the two yellow cords you are talking about either go to the antenna unit to get a signal or connect to a dvd player or another media source to play on the screen. What do you have connected to it? Please go to your original question and click on reply or comment to answer my questions and I will try and help you with this.

DOES MY 2001 CHRYSLER VOYAGER 3.3L V6 FLEX FUEL HAVE A INJECTOR RAIL? We have had a lot of gas smell when idleing. the shop says the injector rail is leaking. I have looked online at Autozone and Oreilly's...

Hi Wesrn,
Most indirect injection engines have a fuel rail which is common to all injectors. The common rail description is usually reserved for diesel engine vehicles. Your problem will in fact be a matter of having the rubber 'O' ring seals replaced at both ends of the injectors (where they fit into the fuel rail and where they fit into the manifold. You've rarely any need to replace the whole fuel rail.
