I have a 1991 Topaz and my CD player doesnt work?

Question

i changed the factory radio in it a few months back. after maybe a month the cd player i put in stopped working. realizing i left a wire exposed i thought i might have accidentally caused a short in the player. so i spent money to get a new cd player but after i hooked it up it still did not work. all the wires have been hooked up properly and i have the proper wire adapter. As a test i got the factory radio which still worked when i took it out and plugged it back in. nothing worked on it either. so then i checked the fuse and the fuse was fine. im out of ideas on what to check. someone mentioned having to rewire the power source but that sounds complicated and i wouldnt even have any idea where to begin. So im coming to u guys for help. any ideas on what the problem might be or how to fix it? cheapest way possible please.

Answer 1

you prob have one of the turn on leads for the deck hooked up wrong, lookback at your instructions, find out what colour it is, and re -cheak all your connections.

sounds like a wireing problem to me :)

Answer 2

Your wiring ISN'T righjt!!- Probabaly, you need to switch the power wires- you should have 2, one constant, and one that goes On and OFF with the key. Or need a better ground. Or you checked the wrong fuse( You wouldn't believe how often this happens!).
