isn't the used market pretty tight because of that ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program?

Is there a speaker in the rear door in which a window was worked on?

If so, a speaker wire; or, connection could have been broken and a wire even displaced to where it's shorting out the sound system. With some door frame configurations it might easily go unnoticed. A door housing a speaker would be worth while opening up again to check that out since it would affect any stereo you have installed.

Good thinking sexo, but the speakers are on on the rear deck.

No, the barges they took in aren't what people are looking for, it's what they're trying to get away from.

UT , I had a speaker wire on the drivers side of a past work truck that was frayed , every Now and then the speaker would stop working and the Cruise controlle would cut out at the same time ,
the fix , opened the door panel fixed the wire and the Cruse never kicked out again ,

I've never worn electrical shorts, but I'll take your word on it.

OK yeah so the fuses behind the stereo aren't blown, so now all the fuses have been checked and the thing is still dead.

*sigh*

sexobon · 05-23-2011, 06:23 PM

I take it there's no indication the stereo is powering up; yet, all of the other interior accessories are working.

Intact interior fuses makes it seem less likely that a power surge from a jumpstart fried the stereo; or, at least that the problem is between the firewall and the stereo (which probably doesn't have an organic fuse or reset button). I'd continue troubleshooting by tracing the fuse box wiring from the firewall to the car battery looking for a possible fuse link in the engine compartment wiring, an obvious disconnection or circuit breaking corrosion on connections. Before I'd remove the stereo and chuck it, I'd bypass most of the car's electrical system by pulling the stereo's fuse from the fuse box and connect an appropriate power supply to the terminal ends of the stereo's wires to see if it powered up.

Wow, I didn't keep this thread up. I started a different one. Oh well,

...the sad time has come!

If I could deal with the logistics, I'd take it. Any running vehicle is worth that much.

If you post it again, you should put in the title that it runs well.

Sad day indeed. What are you doing these days for transportation?
