Any of the speakers grounded out, most newer decks have a circuit to protect the amplifier against shorting, try disconnecting one speaker at a time with the deck on and see when it starts playing, then youll know which speaker is the culprit

 

well heres the problem ... all the sudden it started working
its started out just the left speaker and as i turned it up the right kicked in but then when i turned my car off and now it doesnt work... there is a blue wire with a white stripe coming from my cd player harness that im not sure what to do with ... im lost can you help?

 

the blue wire with the white stripe on it is a remote turn on lead meaning that when u turn on the radio and u have the wire connected to an amp the amp turns on. also the remote wire is used for the power antenna in some cars/trucks. hope this helps

 

also make sure the radio is grounded, a good place for a ground is the area where the radio sleave mounts inside the pocket
