Why won't my Car CD player work?

Why won't the CD player in my car work?

  • I have a '99 Chevrolet Cavalier and the CD player in it recently quit working. It'll take the CD in, but then after trying to read it, it pushes it back out and says "ERR" on the screen. The radio works just fine and the CD player works once in a blue moon if I turn the key to left without having the car on. Does it just need to be cleaned? Or could something more serious be wrong with it? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Mate, Check the fuses specially meant for the Audio system. Coz Radio does not utilize more power but playback of CD does. If this does not work out, check the power supply from the battery to your Player with the help of a multimeter. Take readings when you switch on the radio and then when you switch on the CD player. If there's a difference, the problem is with the connection. There is also another chance of your player's Lenses being faulty and not responding to poor/scratched CD. For this complaint, you need to check your player with it's authorized persons.

ok firstly,does your cd player take wma or mp3s?maybe you making the wrong cds in format... secondly,your frontloader laser could be dirty,you can buy a cd which you insert exactly the same as a normal cd,and it cleansthe laser head thirdly sometimes you just have to take it into a car audio shop so theyt can fix the problem.it could be various things but dont try fix it yourself because youll probably damage it even more
