Radio and dvd player have no power.....?

It sounds like the radio is defective. I can think of no other issue that would cause the speaker noise you discribe

Open the door panel and check the wiring.

It sounds like the unit is bad. Take it to a GM dealer for a more precise diagnosis.

The radio is likely in theft lookout due to loss of battery power. theft lockout.

AUDIO Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of the scan tool. For information on the use of the scan tool, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service information.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Allow temperature of vehicle interior to stabilize and test operation. 4. Faulty CD/DVD player. 4. Refer to appropriate Diagnostic Service Manual.

yes , I think your are somewhat right. It is possible that your DVD has encountered some fault which issues the error. You will need to remove the player and take it out. check if the mecchanism is half stuck or if any action of the drive is mid way resulting in the mode not ccoming to the final rest. This is giving the faulty of the error. see all the link drives, the loading mechanism . use a head cleaner to wipe the optical head. if the cd does not load check on the main board for supply failure of the main drive. since the dvd is not acting you have the amp cutting off the rear/surrround. The error can be even an electronic one. check for the failure of the drive IC . failure in the sub power. Hope this helps.Good day.

Try putting gas in it?

Check fuses first. please rate as fixed if this solves you rissue. report back results.

Section 15-00: Audio Systems—Service 1999 Taurus, Sable Workshop Manual DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Inspection and Verification NOTE: Many customers do not understand the limitations of FM reception. Refer the customer to the Owner Guide for information about the limitations of FM radio performance.

Internal diagnostic examination of the integrated control panel, rear chassis unit and audio compact disc player should be left to the authorized radio service center. However, the automotive technician should be able to analyze and isolate radio reception conditions to the proper area or component causing the condition. All radio conditions can be isolated to one of six general areas:

• antenna system
• integrated control unit
• radio speaker system
• radio noise suppression equipment
• rear chassis unit
• audio communications protocol network

Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
Using Audio System On-Board Diagnostics
The audio system has on-board diagnostic capabilities and is equipped to check for every component available in the system even if this specific vehicle is not equipped with all components. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set for the missing components. These DTCs can be ignored if the vehicle is not equipped with these components. The battery must be fully charged for proper audio system operation. The ignition switch must be in the RUN or ACC position. Turn the system on, tune in a strong AM station and verify good reception. After an AM station is checked, tune in a strong FM station. The system is now ready to enter the diagnostic mode. Diagnostic Mode:
NOTE: Battery must be fully charged for proper audio system operation and self-test.

Enter Diagnostics mode by pressing SEEK DOWN button first and then pre-set button 3. Hold both buttons for five seconds. This will suspend all normal radio functions, retain the previously selected frequency and display DIAG.

1. NOTE: To perform diagnostics, press the appropriate buttons as instructed.
   
   SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SELF-TEST:
   Press pre-set button 1. This will check for connection of all possible devices and log the diagnostic trouble codes for any device that does not respond. The display will flash SELF while gathering the diagnostic trouble codes, then stop flashing when complete. To exit System Configuration Self-test, press pre-set button 1 again. To retrieve diagnostic trouble codes, press the TUNE UP button. This will display the diagnostic trouble codes if any exist. Continued pressing of the TUNE UP button will display the next diagnostic trouble code. Record codes and refer to the following table. To exit the Retrieval Mode, press pre-set button 1.
   
   
   CONFIGURATION SELF-TEST CODES Code Description 0 No diagnostic trouble codes logged 1 No response from rear chassis unit 2 No response from tape deck 3 No response from bezel microprocessor 4 No response from compact disc player 5 No response from steering wheel controls 6 No response from rear seat control 7 No response from remote climate control 8 No response from navigation module 9 Read Only Memory verification failed
   Remember, system configuration will test for all possible equipment connections. Inspect the vehicle to determine actual equipment installed.
   

1. Integrated control panel display test:
   To enter the integrated control panel display test, press pre-set button 5. This check will light all segments in the integrated control panel. The system will automatically exit this test after five seconds.
   

1. Integrated control panel and rear chassis unit identification:
   To enter this test, press pre-set button 3. This test identifies the software level of the integrated control panel and rear chassis unit. The integrated control panel is tested first, followed by the rear chassis unit. The completed test will exit automatically. For code identification, refer to the following table. The display will have two sequences of five codes each. The first sequence is for the integrated control panel, the second sequence is for the rear chassis unit.

Red - Power
Yellow - primary power must be joined to the red
blue - Remote
Black - ground or negative
To find your speaker wires check the color of the cord behind each speaker than match it with the same color in the dash.
or the easy way is to use a normal 1.5v penlight battery and try each speaker cord behind the dash and listen to which speaker give off a crackling noise so you can get the balance on the cd player right.
If u trying to find power in the car and don't have a tester than get a 12v light or bulb join the negative to the body and push the positive wire into each one of the holes in the factory plug in the dash one at a time until the light comes on. That is your positive the rest is easy. (DIY guru)

well on mine, I have to turn off the sat. radio before the kids can watch dvd and I can only listen to radio or cd while they watching dvd. I don't even know if you are able to listen to dvd through them speakers, because it came with headsets. I know I am not big help, but I think you have to change something on the front radio. If nobody else can answer your question, than I will look tomorrow to see how I turn on my dvd player and tell you what I have to push.

Sorry
