Car cd player will not play, but tones sound. replacement will not power on? wtf?
About 5 months ago, my jensen car stereo cd player shorted out. it would still power on, and act like it was playing the song, but no audio. when i pressed the volume buttons, or any other button, the action tone would sound through the cars speakers, so we know the speakers are functioning poroperly.this afternoon, i bought a new unit, and before i removed the old one, i tested it, and the unit still played the song, but with no audio, and the tones played through the speakers. my brother, who has installed hundrads of car steros, had it in in no time, but no power?ground is correct, fuses and curcuit test comes up ok.reinstalled old unit, and it would power on.exchanged new unit at store, and have same power issue with exchanged one, same model.what gives?it is on an adaptor, but that is the same one that worked on the old unit. so it is doubtful that is the trouble.is it possible my car is just "picky"? i know, impossible. but stranger things have happened.
