Jeep radio w/cd player

I put a am/fm/cd player in my 94 jeep out of a 96 jeep everything was the same.
did work fine for awhile then i could not ajust vol/change chanels/or turn it off.
unless i took out the ant wire/and ground wire ,then i had to ground the ant wire to the radio case then put it all back .
then it would work fine for about a week.
when i ground the ant wire it would arc on the case .
why would it do this.also would this cause a 12 code to flash

Begin with the easy one. code is for battery disconnect.(if you had the battery disconnected while installing that will explain it) if you ground the antenna wire to the chassis does it still spark? Is it a power antenna? I'd make sure that somehow the clock and radio wiring is not reversed and that the radio is well grounded (you can add a ground from the case to the main dash rail if you need to. As with any used item, there is a possibility also that there is just something wrong with the radio, but I don't think that yet!

How to fix RBQ radio, disconnected battery now radio does not recognize cd

Hi,

The radio/ cd unit, for your model Jeep, has a built in security code. When disconnecting the the battery it activates the security. The reason for this is to discourage someone stealing the radio, as it renders the unit useless. To re-activate the unit you will have to enter a pin number, which should be supplied with the vehicle when bought from the dealership ( check in your operating manual). If you don't have the pin number, contact your Jeep dealer, who can supply the required pin code. Usually the dealer will re-activate your radio/cd unit free of charge.

Best of luck

99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Radio and tape player works fine. Inserted 10-cd magazine and can hear cd's loading, but no light display on radio when cd button pushed. Is this fixable?

yes but why fix a 12 year old player ? something else will just go wrong after that heck cd players are cheap today and fit right in that opening

2007 CRV AM/FM radio works fine but CD player does'nt work

Sounds like the CD changer is defective, sometimes the dealer will offer a "one time goodwill" repair when it is out of warranty for miles but not for the time period. Check with the dealer where you purchased the car.

Replaced radio with one from same model year. Displays Err 01.

this generally means the laser is either dirty or the cd player is shot, err 01 is a disc reading problem. Try cleaning lens with cleaning disc first if this does not help i would replace the unit with another. i would recommend replacing it with a cheap aftermarket stereo.

Radio works but the clock/channel does not light up.

It sounds like the radio is defective, but check the fuses that power it 1st, if they are all ok then you can get a used working radio on Ebay, have bought them there myself with no problems, cost was reasonable.
