If you have a CD multichanger fitted into your car then you potentially can add up to 10 discs and load them all from the interface of the car stereo. If you notice that your car CD multichanger is not working any more, you will need to start off by troubleshooting with the basics. Its very rare in most cases for a car CD changer to be in need of a repair since they are built to last and hardly go wrong. Its best to look into fixing this yourself rather than going to place like Halfords to save you money. Even though the popularity of people is now becoming less frequent coming into our shop with CD changer problems, you do get the odd customer that has the system installed but its not working.
1) Identifying if there is power going into the box. When you power on your car stereo, do you hear any mechanical noises when you put your ear to the box. If you don't hear anything that is not normal and you can workout that there is no power going into the box right away.
2) Its best to check the connections of the plugs that go back into the CD changer box that they are firmly inserted into the back of the wiring harness on the stereo and connectors on the box. There will also be one pair of RCA cables that go into it, the same ones that are used for connecting a amplifier. If these have come off there will be no sound being heard from your speakers even though the box shows up on the stereos display screen that its loading discs.
3) If the cables are connected firmly then it could be that the fuse is blown. Look at the back of the CD changer some come fitted with a small fuse to protect it if there is something gone wrong. Pull it out, check if its blown you can tell if the middle wire is snapped. If its looks ok then you might need to take your CD player in for a repair or perhaps it would be cheaper getting it replaced.
