Shut Off After Hard Brake?


Recommended Posts

Posted

For some odd reason my stereo just starting shutting off when I brake real hard. I checked the power wire with a DMM when I was driving and it was at 14.6 then when I brake the volts dropped and the cd player shut off. Basically a second later the cd player comes back on and it doesnt reset or anything, it plays the song right where it shut off at, and all my settings are still the same its just annoying as hell. I tried going in reverse and braking hard and it doesnt shut off when I do that... anyone know what the hell is up?

If that was the case, then why doesnt the stereo shut off when I brake hard in reverse? I would move the power wire from the cd player to a different wire that is attached to the cars electrical, but everything is hooked up professionally since I had someone install the cd player due to the fact my car is a '59...

sounds like you are losing acc power if it was a loose ground or hot the deck would reset itself.check ignition wire connection.

The only thing that I can think of is that I just installed a new electric automatic choke, and maybe that is sucking some power... the acc wire would affect the cig. lighter power wire?

I had the same problems but it was a wire!! i would stop and it would cut off!!! the constant was coming a loose just enough where it would cut off but come right back on!! but that might not be the case for you!!! just do a quick check from back of the cd player!! are the wires taped of clamped on or are they loose!! thats what i would do!
