Got a question with my aftermarket radio(Jensen VM9311TS)
-
First impression: Loose connections either at the connector on back of deck, or since it is a cheaper deck, loose solder point somewhere in the inside of the deck itself. Other options are that there is a short/blown speaker in the system somewhere and it is causing the internal amp to go into protect mode.

hmm it's in my mustang and i think i figured out the problem....Thanks chuck haha when you said a short blown fuse it clicked in my head...There is suppose to be a yellow wire which is for the battier which has a black box and a fuse on it... When i got the wire harness the yellow wire was pulled off and i never got it. So i just so solder a wire in the place. I bet because it doesn't have that fuse in there its not working?

A regular wire works in place of any fuse, but obviously thats not recommended because it gives no protection.

I said a short in the system or a blown speaker....bypassing a fuse won't cause those issues that you mentioned...at least not directly.

i hooked up my other cd player back up and it works great... Um ok well this will probably hit the nail on the head. (When i soldered the wire on my dad was helping me and the solder connected the Yellow Battier wire and the ground wire and it sparked when i first connect it all up and blew my radio fuse for the car. I replaced the fuse and resoldered the wire..I am guessing i screwed the radio up)

Isn't that like a $50 player? http://fargo.craigslist.org

Sounds like a toasty radio. (after the short). Once you release the genie outta the bottle, you cant put it back! Better buy another radio and try again, this time without shorting it.
