My car threw an ABS code. I disconnected the battery and then my head unit needed an anti-theft code. I removed the stereo to get the serial number, and the unlock code was written on the sticker beneath! Anyway, I put it all back together-EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER-and now my CD player isn't getting any power. The only source of power it gets is from the headunit/cassette itself, so I don't understand what could've gone wrong. Also, I now get the door-open beeping through the stereo speakers when the antennae lead is plugged in. What gives?

If you can answer any of these questions, it'd be greatly appreciated.

 

Seriously, I put it all back together. There's one harness that goes into the head unit, a cord from the head unit to the CD player, and an antenna lead. That's it. My brain might be killed by drug use, but I can still figure out a simple set up such as the stereo in my '96 Accord. So, feel free to suggest less-than-obvious ideas. Thanks.

 

Is it just the CD player that does not work or does the HU nor work also? 94

 

No, the head unit is fine. The CD player now won't work. I'm perplexed.

 

make sure when you plug back in the cable that you put it in correclty and did not bend any pins.

 

Ditto the above^^^ you might also try a reboot, disconnect batt. neg.(-), wait 15min. and reconnect. 94
