Cd player issues

[jalen]

So i bought a jvc kd-s35 cd player wired it all up and now it wont stay on, and will only turn on when i push the eject button and the shut off. and on the screen when its on and displays the bottom half of the letters. any help would be appreciated.

Clean the contacts for the faceplate?

 

Hope you wired it right...

[jalen]

I wired it right, and even before i finished the whole harness i did just the power and ground to make sure it would work and would turn on and off when the eject button was pressed

[Laecaon]

Cool, it needs a signal wire too... 12v+

[jalen]

it says it needs a

remote. accessory ,front and rear left and right channel speaker wire, ground wire,and battery wire. so what color is the signal wire and where would i put it?

[Laecaon]

On the harness to the Radio you will have 3 specific wires, Black, Red, Yellow. These are universal to all radios.

 

Black = Ground

 

Yellow = Battery power

 

Red = Accessory power (what I called Signal, as it tells the radio it is ok to turn on)

 

My guess is that you dont have the Red hooked up properly, as the radio turns on to eject (has power), but does nothing otherwise. Almost all radios will turn on temporarily to accept CDs or eject them.

less than a minute and here is the manual

Press the face onto the stereo, im willing to bet it's the faces' contacts like Jacob said.

[jalen]

no i was digging in the harness and somebody removed the accessory wire completely, so whats the best way to re-wire the red wire to the ignition?

[Laecaon]

Hmm, well, you have 5 wires coming out of your ignition switch. 1 is accessory power. I do not know Z car wire colors. Quickly looking at a wiring diagram shows maybe blue with red wire from the switch.

 

Tap into that (easy to do with a scotchlock, but they look ugly), and run the wire to the red.

[crackerjack69]

Go to your ignition switch w/ your testlight. Tap the wire that turns on the test light when you turn the key to acc position.

easiest way is to find something that turns on with your key, and splice off that, not neccesarily the right way, but the easiest

[jrock4224]

mind u the radio is in a non running car......check the voltage off the alt while running...haha

[jalen]

my car runs,drives and stop actually, and doesen't the cigarette lighter turn on with the key? if so cant i just splice that wire?

[Laecaon]

Why yes you are correct, it does, at least on the datsuns I have played with. So I am going to assume yes, but if it does not turn on/off with the key, you know why.

[DAT510]

Wouldn't that reduce the voltage going to the cigarette lighter?

[Laecaon]

Wouldn't that reduce the voltage going to the cigarette lighter?

 

Short answer: No.

 

Long answer: You dont split voltage like that. It will remain 12v. What will happen though is you will take up amperage. The more of a draw the more amps, and well with a 20amp fuse, that is your max amperage...

 

I have a inline 1 amp fuse for my accessory power, it doesnt blow.

 

And finally, the accessory power line for the radio does not actually get used to for powering the radio (that is what the battery power line is for), all the accessory power line does is simply tell the radio when it is allowed to turn on. It draws very minimally from that line.

 

Jalen: Use the cigarette line.

[DAT510]

Oh!! I've always wondered if voltage could be used up like that!!

Now I know!

 

 

[Laecaon]

Carlos, tapping into the wire like jalen is suggesting is called parallel. Meaning anything connected to that line will get 12v. Now say if this was a series connection, the voltage would be used up more like what you said.

 

 

 

in cars though almost everything is run in parallel.

[DAT510]

Ok, I understand now!

Always get the two confused lol

[banzai510(hainz)]

WTF

cig lighter always has 12volts on it all the time. When you push the cig light in your grounding it. thus heating it up.

Cig circut is the COMMON circut on the fuse box. which is the door buzzer also and light in engine bay if equiped.

 

the aircond fuse is under the fuse box if one wants to run a switchble 12volt to a stereo or fuel pump ect.........

 

why dont one use the radio wire in the first place to turn the radio ON.

 

If you want constance On then you risk battery going dead. Find acces on switch or wire to battery or the Common cig light circut
