cd changer problem

roblatus · 11-03-2006, 21:01

I noticed in the week that my rear washer wasn't working. Having done some searching on here i removed the carpet from around the wheel arch and found that the hose to the washer had become separated at the rear of the wheel arch area.

I have dried the area out but if i try to use my cd changer i just get the message "no changer" on the head unit.

I also can't even eject the cartridge to get my discs out. Is there a fuse somehwere that i don't know about? i am sure i have chekced the ones in the fuse box but they all seem to be ok.

I am suspecting there is maybe an in line fuse for the cd changer at the rear of the symphony head unit. But it would be good if someone could onfirm this?

Thanks

I would think that the multiplug on the changer has corroded out.

Most likely you've disturbed the wiring.

Fingers crossed it's just a matter of reseating the plug in the changer.

i have had the plug apart and made sure it was dried out ( used hairdryer) then connected it back up but nothing is happening when i press the cd button on the head unit.

Is it possible that the changer is kaput???

Did you find out what the problem was?

I've just had this exact same problem on my Octy Estate - rear wheel arch space flooding because of a dislodged washer hose connector - and my CD-changer isn't responding. I've had it out, checked the connectors, checked internally for water damage (nothing visible - I don't think the water reached quite that high). There must be a fuse somewhere, even if it's in the head unit itself ...

Anyone know?

Mine went to the dealer and they fixed it. It was due to water ingress into the connector i think, not sure what they did different to me but when i picked it up everything was ok again.
