Cd Player Won't Turn On After Dead Battery...?!?

[Decaf]

so my girl drove the grand am to work and left the lights on for 4 hours, enough to kill the battery(stock). now the cd player won't turn on. it is still lit on the source button so i know its getting some power but i doesn't respond to anything.

and i know she doesn't take the faceplate off so it wouldn't be the button itself.

anybody have suggestions?

check all your fuses.

[Decaf]

so a fuse could have been tripped if the battery died

[ChevyBoy]

stupider shit has happened

[audiofanaticz]

having a battery go dead shouldnt really affect the cd player.

Have you tried removing the face and reattaching it and turning it on?

Is there a real small reset button behind the face on the unit?

Is the faceplate really cold?

My friend had a deck a while ago that wouldnt turn on if the faceplate was too cold.. pretty messed up.

Stock deck?

GM vehicles have a couple ANTITHEFT features built in.

"TheftLock" as a "lockdown mode" on the stock deck in the event it is removed (car thinks its being stolen) or if POWER is cut/removed and "PassLock" IIRC that keeps the car from being started.

The "locked" deck can be "unlocked" by a dealer for $50-$60 from what I read online.

I just searched "GM cd player codes" and found a forum or 10 with info on it.

here's one.

thanks, but if you read my sig its a jvc-shx8500, never once has anything gone wrong with this.

ofcourse i detached it, and yes its cold but ive waited until the unit is warm after an hour of driving and no luck

the source button is red when the cd player is off, and white when its on, and its still red so i know its getting power

so wtf happened

what sucks more, is i just sold everything in my car basically, started to order new sub, get amp fixed, alt, new batt

and then this happens!!

try reseting it

or unpluging it and pluging it back it or it could also be a blown fuse for the constant of the radio (yellow wire)

Humbug.

I don't bother reading folks' sigs in general cuz it's seldom any useful info.

I've never heard of this happening on an aftermarket deck....ever...unless the deck needed repair.

I'd say pull it and have a shop/warranty dept. take a look at it.

I think if the fuse to the main power wire (yellow) was blown, the deck would not power on...

the acc would "turn it on" but only if it already had power from the yellow wire.

What happens if u hook it up direct? ...to a 12 source OUT of ur dash-like "benching it"....? Goota make sure it's nothing in ur dash/wiring.

yeah im going to try that i guess, i knew it would come down to that

thanks for suggestions

and this might be a good thing, except for the loss of $, because i wanted a pioneer deh-9800bt/7900bt anyways
