cd player not working please help

i bought a new car its a 2000 Ford Tauraus it has no

antenna.

all the lights on the radio compartment works for example the airconditioning light ect. but no lights where the clock and numbers display. the radio does not work the air conditioning does, went to junk yard bought a stereo with a cd player, it came from the same model car 2000 ford tauraus and its the same problemall the lights work except the area the clock and numbers are displayed. cd player does not work! Heres the funny part the cd player excepts the disc when the car is turned off but not when the car is turned on and same with ejecting the disc only works when the car is turned off. no sound of disc spining, what could be the problem, i know this is long and i hope you can make since of it help me if you can.

thanks

we checked the fuses, some are missing but we dont know how to tell if they are blown or not and dont know wich is wich.

would it have anything to do with the antenna?

what like there is no wire there? hole in the fender? some radios ground through the antenna. Look in your owners manual to see what fuses do what, or usaully its on the back of the cover
