I'm not getting any sound from my Subaru stereo. The display is lit up and the CD player shows it's reading the CD but no sound comes out of the speakers. The same thing is happening on the radio too. Is this a fuse problem perhaps?

Hi, i wouldnt have thought it would be a fuse problem as if the fuse had gone then the stereo wouldnt work at all the chances are that the amp inside the stereo has failed now the problem you have is that the cost of repair to this part would end up costing more than replacing the whole stereo.

So unless the stereo has been moved or knocked and the speaker wires have come loose the only real option would be to replace the whole stereo.

Im sorry their is no easy solution to this but make sure you check all wires are fitted correct to make sure the wires are not at fault.
Their will be no fuses between the steroe and the speakers as they are such low power plus the stereo fuse protects the whole system so a problem their would mean none of the stereo working.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

I have a 2003 Subaru Legacy with the same problem. I think it must be a loose wire problem because for a few weeks the stereo would come on sporadically. Sometimes you'd get in the car and everything worked, and sometimes nothing would work. Now, for the last week, there's been no audio, so I think the wire has finally got free entirely. Does anyone know how to look for a loose wire?

Cd won't eject from cd player

try taking your stereo out and disconnecting power. reconnect again and see if it comes out. If not you will have to take stereo out and open it up to manually remove the disc. same thing happened with my mothers car and she ended up getting a new stereo installed. best of luck!

1998 Honda Accord EX stereo/CD player has Code E on the screen... What is the cause of this and what can I do to fix it?

Unfortunately 90% of the time when you get error codes from the CD player/changer it means that there is a mechanical failure in the CD player/changer unit itself and it usually requires CD player/changer rebuild or replacement...
First make sure you have entered the correct anti-theft code. If battery power has been disconnected recently than the stereo display will read CODE if the incorrect anti-theft code is entered the display will read ERR1 thru ERR3. If this is the case you'll have to get the correct anti-theft code. Note; If you enter the incorrect code three times the stereo locks up. Disconnect the battery for more than 30 seconds and then retry.
FYI;Never use adhesive labels or protective disc covers on recordable CD's. Recordable CD's are actually thicker than pre-recorded CD's. Automotive players and changers use rollers to draw the disc into the unit. The added thickness of an adhesive label or protective disc cover may cause the disc to jam. Also CD players and changers are exposed to high temperatures inside the vehicle. High temp will cause the labels adhesive to soften which may cause the labels edges to curl or cause it to bubble. Either one may cause the disc to jam and cause the player to display error codes E-01 thru E-07. If the player can not be disassembled and have the discs removed successfully than it will have to be replaced. -hope this helps.
