Installing a Car CD Player
I got this Sony CD Player that I am installing into a 2000 Pontiac Montana. When I hook it up and turn over the key I am able to insert and eject cd's but get no power to turn it on.
I rewired the wires and I still have the same problem, I dont know what to do. Anybody have any idea what the problem could be, I checked the Radios fuse and its fine. Help would be much appreciated. |

You are giving it constant power, but your Accessory power is not telling the CD player to "power up".
Check the Acc. power and Constant power to see if you are getting 12-14 volts. Acc. power should read 12 volts when you turn the key, then go to 0 volts when the key is turned off. The constant power should show 12 volts all the time. Both wires should be yellow or red. Once you find the constant supply you can do a quick test and split it so that it supplies power to both constant and accessory. If the CD player works, it's a power supply problem. |

The red wire should be 12 volts all the time.
The yellow wire should be 12 volts only when the key is turned. |

Back in January the factory stereo that was in my Montana went bad, I unhooked it and then hooked it back up and the radio would work but not the CD player so i just took it out and just got a CD Player to hook up and it'll load and eject CD's but wont power on, I dont have a clue to what the problem could be
