Ok, my cd deck recently died so I decided to get a new one, took the old one out, and put in the new one, the new one starts up and works perfect, the only problem is now my car won't start, it crancked over for a while, then the battery died, so I hooked it up to my fathers van, to try to jump start it, car would keep crancking, but wouldn't start. Could I have somehow short circuted something while installing the new cd deck?, Or do I need a new battery, I figured that even if my battery was dead, I should be able to start the car with a jumpstart, but I may be wrong, anyway, I really need my car and have no clue as to why it won't start.

Please give me any suggestions,

thanks

 

ur battery is prolly in bad condition, check ur starter, and installing a deck wont caused the car to not start.

bring ur battery to a local autozone, kragen etc. to get it check

 

did you check your fuses?

 

What fuses could be causing this

sorry if his car is cranking, it has nothing to do with the battery.

you probably blew a fuse, check on the drivers side where your left knee sits. there is a panel there. inspect all of them.

 

bump

 

Are you sure you wired it correctly. I put a new CD playin in my hatch and accidentally wired it to the headlights. Now I need to turn them on whenever I want to listen to the radio....make sure you didn't connect it to a constant,

what are you bumping? have you checked your fuses? ill almost garuntee you popped a fuse for something like the fuel pump relay.

 

Checked all fuses, they are all good, I think I'll try getting a new battery and see if that works

 

DOOD Check the basics before you go throwin parts at it to find out which ones will stick. YA got spark, fuel pressure?

 

yea, sparks, fuel, pressure, everything, and the day before I took it to honda and had them look it over and adjust the timming belt, so everything should be good, it was running great before I went and installed that cd deck

Is it flooded?

 

Unhook your CD player and see if it starts. If it does you know that was the problem. If it doesn't rediagnose...

 

Well I bought a new battery, still doesn't work, SO I'm going to unhook the cd player and see what happens

 

Is there some sort of fuse to the fuel pump? should it be making noise when I try to start it? (fuel pump is under rear seats, correct?

 

yes you should be able to hear it turn on, one click before your car turns over with your key
