quick ? (stereo)

[Suspect]

how do you take the cd player out?

i got a new radio awhile back. well now it has no power. what could it be? someone told me to check behind it for a fuse. :dunno: :wall:

I'm assuming you're talking about an aftermarket head unit?

I've installed many Pioneer's, but I think that they're all similar.
- Remove the detachable face (if it has one)
- Remove the plastic bezel (it comes out really easy if you pull up/down from the middle to release the tabs)
- Insert the removal keys (likely an L shaped piece of stamped sheet metal, and there will be little pockets between the sides of the deck and the metal housing)
- Then just pull the deck out


It might be easier for you to check the fuses in the main panel first.

checked those already.

i have some keys, but i think they are to pull the stock deck out. :tickedoff:

why would it blow anyways?!

 

[bany95]

What kind (brand) of deck did you buy? I'm assuming that you had the store install it for you?

I think the ford keys look like U-bolts, the aftermarket ones are a single L shape.

Stock deck uses pin type things to pull it out. I always used a coat hanger on mine.

kenwood. yea i had a stereo shop put it in. i have the ford keys then.

no i dont think i can get a hanger on the sides of it. :wall:
