what i said is basically everything that happened, but okay i will go more into detail..

i was driving my car listening to music, turned my car off at the shopping center, got back in my car turned it on and the cd player had no power at all, still has no power. i checked every fuse that runs the electrics in my car, they are all un broken.. im not sure what to do next, does anyone have any ideas why it just stopped working?

If its not some cheap brand there will be a reset button somewhere on the face.its about the size of a pen tip. it wont be labled.

its a sony cd player, couldnt find the reset button you were talking about, been working flat out havent had a chance to get to it but im pulling the dash apart to get to the back of the cd player to test the plug right now as i speak.

some sony models had the reset button behind the face. Its more then likely going to just need a reset but seems you have probly pulled the dash out by now.. what are you testing for power with?

EDIT: Seems your already back there unplug the loom from the CD player and leave it for a about a minute and then plug it back in and see what happends, that will reset everything too.

okay, well i took the cd player completely out of the car for about 20 mins while i had lunch, tested the wiring loom with a test light, only one of them lit up, im not sure if thats right or not? it was the top 2'd one from the left. or the bottom 2nd one from the right, coz im not sure what up and down is. still having no luck with power, was just curious, how does this happen? ive never had this problem before is it coz the car heats up in the summer months or just an electrical fault?

sound like you only found the constant. you will need to have the keys in the ignition set to the ACC position to get a reading for the other wire in the loom. This is the one that tells the unit to turn on when you turn the car on.

Yellow should be constant and Red will be switched by the ignition barrel.Also test for an earth in the loom, Will be the black wire.

What model unit do you have? Model number should be printed on the face somewhere if not it will be on a sticker on the metal shell of the unit somewhere.

Did you check the fuse in the back of the unit just above where the loom plugs in? Also the fuse in the fuse box under the dash?

I have tried everything, had the cd player inside the house all night so it had pleanty of time to reset because i cant find the reset button on the face of the cd player head unit anywhere, went back out today to test it, plugged it all in, put the keys in & turned to accessories, no power to the cd player still, even with the car running theres no power, i tested the cd player loom plug with a test light when the car was turned to accessories and when the car was running and i still only got that one wire to light up, checked the audio fuse in the boot, the electrical fuses under the dash and the fuse next to the loom plug at the back of the cd player, even replaced the lot just incase it looked fine but it wasnt, theres still no power at all to the cd player.

its kind of weird because my clock has no power either (only a very very faint light that you can only just see at night) and it always resets back to 12:00 when i turn the car off then back on, so its not holding the time or lighting up fully.

The air con will not turn on with the car, i have to manually turn it on every time and its never set to the temperature i previously had it (always to the factory 25 digrees), could this all be to do with the same thing?

i installed dash neons a few months ago & i remember i set all the wires up incorrect by accident to a toggle switch (before doing it correctly) and i seen a tiny bit of smoke coming from the wires around the ignition, could this be anything to do with it? my clock hasnt worked since that day.

Probably best you visit an auto electrician at this stage and explain it all to them.

Multimeter set to resistance if you really want to give it a go yourself, however I wouldn't recommend it.

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Oh, and as for everyone with their fuel economy changes, I switch between E10 and 98 in the company car. Even do when I had personal cars that could run on E10. You know what changed my fuel economy in any noticeable way? How I drove, and where I drove. Otherwise, say on full tanks of just back and forth from work only (So same trips, same sort of traffic), couldn't notice a difference that I can correlate to the type of fuel in use. In the current vehicle, that's over 42L of USABLE fuel. While 98 is all "more energy dense", it also has higher knock resistance as it takes more energy to get it to ignite too. The longer hydrocarbons, typically more tightly bound. So running the same ignition map, can also produce less power, if there isn't enough time to get it all burnt through properly, as yep, the flame propagation speed is different from lower octane fuel to higher (Higher has a lower flame propagation, due to the more tightly bound and harder to self ignite funs. This is also typically where, a vehicle that is designed purely to run on 91 (Whether it be E10 or normal 91) usually sees absolutely no real world difference in fuel economy for the normal man, woman, or dog.

      We've got some servos around me that have 91 with E10, 91 (no E10), 95, and 98. At those stations the change from 91 E10 to 91, is typically around 8c/L.   But lets not get started on the price of fuel in Oz. It's ridiculous. All the service stations around me, bar one, the price of fuel has been over the $2 mark per litre for the cheapest, 98 being around $2.45. That one service station is a CostCo, fuel from it comes from the same refineries, and makes no pitstops, it runs great, including the 98. In fact, I've had no issues on CostCo fuel, but plenty of issues at other stations!. The CostCo fuel, was $1.65 roughly this week for 94 with E10. $1.88 for 98. Servos directly across from it, $2.10 for 91 E10, and $2.48 for 98. The part I had to laugh at? If I drive multiple HOURS away from Brisbane, say out near Nanango, or Kingaroy, or even out to Goondiwindi, the price of their fuel, is the same as what it is at the CostCo... Oh, and that BP servo at Goondiwindi is HUGE and goes through epic turnover of fuel, so it's not sitting there for weeks going to shit. And what blows me away, my mate is one of the people who drives the Fuel Tanker all around QLD, delivering to all those places. At the same company his previous role was doing the "local haul" deliveries... Same truck, same driver, same pickup point it all comes from. So you tell me, how the hell it is 60c/L CHEAPER for fuel, when nearly all else is equal, except they require a B-Double to drive half a day out of Brisbane, and half a day back, every second day, compared to the delivery that can be under 30 minutes drive from the fuel pickup point... Not to mention, go five blocks down the road, and Ampol to Ampol will vary 30c/L... And I've had this conversation with my mate... The way it's priced, is just typical, pure and utter rubbish... He also does runs from Brisbane, to all over QLD, down to Newcastle, Sydney, Nowra, Melbourne, Geelong, and even out to parts of the NT depending on the companies needs. His main stuff is all the longer distance away from home for a few days at a time, then when he's back, he loves to just pickup extra shifts wherever he can in whichever truck, hence all the weird different places.   Oh, as for getting E10 into all the fuels in Australia... It was very quickly highlighted, that we don't have enough biomass available to use to make E10 sustainably like they require, and it would dramatically cut into our, and the worlds food chain supply...   I vote we all just start running on liquid methane gas... Plenty of that just getting tapped off at tips from underground decay... (Note, this is pure just stupid commenting. I could very easily highlight the reasons its not a good idea especially on scale...)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
