protodad Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 So this is my first post here. Hey all. So here is my issue, my battery constantly dies even after replacing it a few times. I think I finally fixed the major corrosion issue I had but still have a dying battery. Here is the fun part, the in dash keeps flashing "loading CD" even when there is no CD in the slot and the car is turned off and locked from the outside. It flashes it about once every 10 seconds. I am fairly sure this is killing my battery each night. The son shoved a penny in a while back so I pulled the stereo and it was just rattling around in the metal enclosure, not in the slot itself. It is a standard CD player, not the six disc. So two questions, 1. Anyone had a similar issue and know how to fix/reset the stereo? 2. It the stereo is DOA, does anyone know where I can get a replacement (or preferably individual parts)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Are you sure that is all he tried to shove in there? But beyond that I am surprise to hear it keeps doing this after the car is shut off. have you gone back after an hour or so to confirm it is still trying to load? I would have thought the power to the radio was switched so it couldn't do this. Some vehicles have retained accessory power but it usually doesn't last long in order to save the battery.

Yea, it has been going for about 3-4 weeks now. Shows it at all hours of the day, even after sitting locked for 8-10 hours. I can get a disk in (though it wont auto-load or eject it) so I am pretty sure there is nothing else in there. I might try to disassemble it but it will be a pain to open up the slot load.
