How to Fix Car CD Player

If the number lights are out and the CD player is also dead it sounds like you lost power to the player. Check all your fuses as the radio and CD player may have separate fuses. Also check any visible wires to see if there is a possible disconnect.

Antenna problem ?

There may be a kit to correct this, call a company called Crutchfield

I am having the same issue! How did you resolve your problem?! ANY advise would be greatly appreciated!

HI lisasmith566 IT is not a fuse problem .
the problem is your the CD part of the radio
must likely the cd is stock or more likely the cd drive motor is defective .
FIRST try pushing eject on radio and see CD comes out if not you need a new radio .

good luck vote

The cleaning kit is a fix if you have 'dust' on the lens, but will not fix the root problem you are experiencing. It is a mechanical wear problem of the cd-rom player. If you can replace the cd-mechanism, that will solve your problem. But, most people are sticker shocked by the price of an oem cd-player.

There are quite a few aftermarket DVD players now available, and aftermarket CD-players which have new warranties and have features and power that surpass the original decks.

If you want to stick to your original design, though, you can try a salvage yard to see if they have one that works better. But, one is taking a monetary chance by buying a used radio that might do the same thing as your own.

Sounds like you wired the cd player to the tail light fuse and the power wire touched ground. Go to the fuse panel inside the car and check the fuses. The tail lamp one and possibly also the dash light fuses will be blown, replace them after disconnecting the cd player power wires and taping off where they were connected. If you have the factory harness for the original radio still in the dash you can get a wiring harness to directly plug into it from walmart. If you don't have the original harness , the easiest way to power the cd is to tap the cigarette lighter wire.

Look in your owners manual for the fuse number and it's location.

How do I remove the CD player from my 2003 Suzuki Aerio. My CD player doesn't work anymore. What tools do I need?
