Ok I start my car last week and the CD player just never comes on. It is a JVC El Kameleon deck, installed by me about a year ago. I pulled it out and every connection was in perfect shape, just as I left it. I checked the fuse panel on the driver's side, but the radio fuse was still good. The fuse in the back of the CD player is fine as well.

What else can I do to fix this problem? If I get a voltmeter, what things should I be sure to check?

 

Check that the head unit is getting power, acc and that the ground is good. If it is then it is probably a problem with the deck.

I just checked the engine bay fuses, all good. I am going to buy a voltmeter tonight and get a better idea...
