My after market cd player isn't getting any power

If power wire is really supplying juice (check with test lamp) the internal fuse in player may be blown.

Sounds like a cd player that is an after market.... just hook up the power wire to a battery always live fuse... ie a power connection that isn't interrupted by the ignition. however be sure that the radio doesn't have an anti theft system or as soon as the Power wire is disconnected the radio will have to be reset.... there should be a wiring diagram on the top of the radio or on the bk... look for the wire marked memory and hook the power wire up to the same spot on the fuse box.... the memory wire runs the clock, channel selection and anything else that needs power at all times, even when the ignition is off and the keys are removed so it will be a great spot to hook your power wire to also... just splice into that wire with a splicer but, if your system is a high powered system run an independent wire from the battery through the fire wall so you do not blw a fuse or cause a fire.

cd players don't have ignition wires

If the alarm isn\'t hooked to the ignition (The vehicle will still start when the alarm is going off). Just look under the dash for a black box usually about the size of a deck of cards. Unplug the harness and you will have deactivated the alarm. If there is a starter interrupt you\'ll need to dig deeper. Near the ignition switch harness there would be a Green/Red wire (Ignition) and a red wire (Starter). There is often a T-Tap connection to the ignition wire while the starter wire would be cut and routed to the alarm brain (Black box). Simply unplug the t-tap connection from the ignition wire and restore the connection to the starter using a connector.

Most stereo shops would be able to resolve the issue. Our store charges only $35 for a basic alarm removal.



Best of luck. Ben

Oh... Pioneer may be bad. I had a new tape player that was broken the day I bought it. Pioneer did replace it.

Find a test light and probe your wires you are trying to hook into. You should have one that stays hot, or has power all of the time, and one that only has power when the key is in the on or acc position. Hook the new radio memory power to the one that is hot all of the time and the main power to the one that only has power when the key is on.

No, the stereo has an ON/OFF switch. If you connect the power for the stereo on the ignition side of the fuse box when you turn off the ignition switch/key hen power will be automatically cut off to the stereo even if you leave the switch on at the stereo.

If the ignition wire, isn't getting power then thats the problem.When the ignition hot powers up it signals the radio to turn on.

check speaker wires on check connections

YOU HAVE THE ILLUMINATION WIRE HOOKED INTO THE RADIO
