i need some help, the stereo in my 92 si isnt working. Its a kenwood, and it was doing fine until one day it just stopped. I put the face on and nothing shows up on it. It still ejects and takes in cds but thats all..is it just that its broken and I need a new one or could there be a fuse that can control this? I would think that if it still ejects that the rest of it should work, but I dont know for sure. thanks for any suggestions.

 

I know I had a problem with my Kenwood excelonin in the past, the face plate display fried. However you could still push the buttons and get it to work. Try reseting the deck and see if that helps. I wouldn't think it would be a fuse though cause it wouldn't get any power to eject the CD.

 

thanks i figured i needed a new one, but yeah even when i push the buttons nothing happens...o well

 

how do i reset the deck? even then, i probably need a code, which i dont have...good god.

 

Not all aftermarket decks requires a code.

If there is power to eject and take in a cd, and the buttons no longer function and the display doesnt work...sounds like the face is done for.

 

When you put a CD in, does it play?

I know when I put a CD in my Pioneer, it would play automatically once it is in. It wont require me pushing any buttons.

 

nope doesnt play..

 

Maybe someone else can chime in and catch something, but I think you need a new deck.

 

I had the same exact problem with my old deck. I think it was a panasonic deck and just like yours the deck just stopped working. Actually mine still lit up but that's all it did. no text or graphics what so ever. Luckily it was under warranty so best buy sent it in and they declared that the deck had went out (on a 8 month old deck) and gave me my money back,

My guess is the same thing is with yours.

 

Dependingon how old the Kenwood is, there may be a security code. That is, if it was set by the user. There's a master but I don't remember it anymore. Sounds like another case of a bad rdio, new radio time for you.
