cd player help...

[amitpatel06]

so my sister has a 2001 nissan frontier truck. it had a stock cd player in it that woudln't play too many burned cds. so i went to walmart, got a cheapo cd player, popped it in, and everything was good.

2 weeks later she told me it quit working. somtimes it would work and then cut off, when she hit a bump it would turn on and then turn off, etc. so i opened up the dash thing and found the problem. i used to have a system in the truck and when i took it out i left the ign wire still hooked up to everything and it was in there all loose, so it would touch metal every now and then and the cd player would cut off. so me being the smarty i am left the engine running and went to pull out the ign wire. it touched metal for a few secnods, sparked and everything shut off.

so i got a new cd player, didn't work, i put in the stock one, it didn't work. i finally took it to a shop here and they said i probably blew a fuse. i checked the audio fuse and its fine. what could be the problem?

Welcome to the forum. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif

Just an //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif we have a subforum entitled 'Head Units.' Oddly enough, that's where questions about head units (which is your source unit...tape deck, cd player, AM/FM tuner only, whatever you use for your "radio") belong. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

As for your problem my first guess would have been blown fuses. Did you check them good? Quite frequently a fuse that is blown will not look blown...

which fuses would i replace other than the audio one?

None other than the audio. But you should use a volt meter to check continuity between all your fuses to ensure that you didn't blow something else up.
