cd player?

[voller1410]

im trying to put an aftermarket cd player to my 2000 bonneville and i got the wireharness for it but i got all the right wires hooked up correctly but the cd player wont turn on but the display will turn on when i try and eject a cd or see the clock...any ideas?

Sounds like an issue with your radio... do you have any AM/FM signal at all? can you hear the actual radio? is it JUST the cd player?

[voller1410]

no it wont turn on at all im gonna look at the wiring alittle more

If you suspect it's in the wiring, i'm almost positive everything is color coated for ease of use on those harnesses. i know my harness for our '99 ville, the '96 blazer, and the '90 S10 are all the same, and all color coated.

I suspect you had to buy the alarm adapter, or whatever it is called?

I assume you mean color CODED?

Moving to the proper section.

Yes Wren. My bad. coated, coded, i wasn't far off.

[voller1410]

ya i got the color coated all right

[willwren]

Coated? With what?

With color.

Actually technically coated or coded is right. Is it coated with color, because it's the outer layer. It's also coded because the FSM will refer to the color so it's a coding to reference. Either way is good. Grammatically correct either way :-)

chances are something is wired wrong.. I'd triple check them.
After that, is the deck new? could be defective if used. If new, try exchanging it.

lol who cares about the color coated or whatever...i want to figure out how to get it to work

True, but almost all wire are color coated, even if they're not color coded.
Like I said though, unless the deck itself is defective, something must be wired wrong. I'd take them all off and start over.

One of our goals on this Forum is to make sure people post in a manner that everyone can understand. Proper spelling and grammar are keys to this. There is a NOTICE regarding this.

Please tell us the brand and model of the head unit, and the brand and part number of the wiring harness adapter you used.

They do not mean the same thing! Just because wires are coated with color, does not mean it's color coded.

[99bonnieSE]

All because I said coated....


But x2, hook us up with some model numbers.

It sounds to me like you have your constant battery positive voltage wired, but not the switched wire. These Class 2 Data radios do not have a switched voltage circuit in the factory flatwire connector for the radio.

[danielmartin]

Well, basically that is the problem in the dac. It is the possiblitiy to check out the CD player and required to replace it. The reason is that its key of the functionality is damaged.

That is what I think too. With the constant wire hooked up, a lot of cd players will eject cds, but thats it. Measure the red wire coming off of the data harness for power when the key is on ON or ACC. I have had faulty data harnesses that do not output an accessory signal. Alternately, you could run a wire to the Retained Accessory relay. (Some GMs have them. I am not sure if these cars do) If you hear a click in a fuse panel somewhere when the factory radio turns on, that is it.
