CD Player
I'm wondering what would be the cause of my CD player not having my speakers produce any sounds? My CD player works.. but no sound is coming out. This is an aftermarket JVC Chameleon CD player. It happened after I replaced the carpet on my 87 vert a few weeks ago. I accidently drained the battery in my car eventhough it was attached to a trickel charger. I noticed that my CD player was clicking and showing all kinds of weird lights popping up on the screen. I replaced the battery and now no sounds. I'm puzzled here.

1. A screwed up chip in the head unit. Their very sensitive to voltage spikes.
2. You pulled a connector loose when you replaced the carpet.
The LCD issue would indicate the former.
First, check all your connectors, then reboot the system. If there's power to the unit with the key off, you may need to pull a fuse or disconnect the battery.
Good Luck.

2 possibilities,

If a voltage spike gets past the regulator (in the device) it can easily damage one of these.
They're "surface mounted" and difficult to diagnose or replace.
My suggestion is to follow the steps outlined earlier in that order. A connector may be loose or have a bent pin.
Good Luck
