Answer I had a similar problem when I put a CD player in my 92 explorer. The problem was that somehow I used the hot wire from the headlights. I simply just rewired the power wire and problem solved.
First of all I would check the power source. If you didn't use a wiring harness some of the 12v power is discontinued when you turn the headlights on. Using either a voltmeter or testlight check for a constant power source. THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF THIS IS CONNECTING YOU VEHICLES DASH LIGHT WIRE TO THE GROUND ON THE STEREO

When replacing a 1998 Nissan Sentra GXE stock radio with a new one does the radio get shut off do to anti theft precautions because I tried changing mine and the new radio will not work?
I changed the factory radio in my 98 Nissan Sentra GXE without any problems. I don't even think that model has any antitheft precautions unless they were installed aftermarket. I put in a Sony radio with CD and USB port. If your new radio doesn't work, make sure all the connections are correct and that your new radio isn't at fault. Make sure you plug the antena in... the stereo wont turn on unless the antena and power plugs are in.
The radio on your 04 Honda accord will not work properly It will turn on and the volume is fine but it wont tune into any station The tune button when turned does nothing the auto scan doesnt work?
maybe the fuses have blown because that happened to my radio and you might have to buy a new radio.
How do i turn my outside lights off but keep the radio on I can't take my Audi to the Drive In?
because of the new daylight running lights, and auto headlights this has become quite the issue. However, there is a simple solution. If you set your parking brake before turning on ignition, the headlights should stay off. I have often walked to the car behind me at the drive in and explained that.
Why doesn't my 5 digit anti theft radio code work?
Each radio has its own specifc code, if you did not pull the radio and get the code for the serial number on the exsisting radio it is possible that the original radio may have been replaced before and the code you have is for the original radio. You will have to go to a dealer to get the new number with proof of ownership.

Will a car stereo work in a goldwing gl1200?
Short answer, no. Not without some work. Your GL1200 radio has an external amp for the speakers. Your standard car radio will not work with the amp. You would have to bypass the amp. Also, the GL1200 radio has a pin connector plug on the back of it. This connector plug has about 30 different pins. You would have to take the end off the bike and directly wire your new radio to the power supply and speakers. The new car radio will not work with the handle bar mounted control swithes. The new radio will not have auto volume. The new radio will not have the intercom system, as that is built into the factory radio. It could be done, but it would take a lot of work. If your current factory radio does not work, I recommend going to eBay and looking for a used replacement. The radio, when working is a pretty good radio, and gets good reception. If your looking for a CD changer, I would avoid it. I have seen satellite radios hooked into the factory radio, but I personally use a FM transmitter for my CD/mp3 player. That way the signal would go through the factory radio on a FM channel and be played over the speakers or through your headsets.
Changed radio in 94 Volvo 940 gl now the headlights wont work. anyone know what happened?
It is the relay that is directly under the radio. same thing happened to me. I popped them out burnished the contacts and put them back in. It worked, if not you'll have to get a new one. Not too expensive.

Why won't the headlights work on a 1993 Ford Festiva when everything else works?
There is 3 fused links above the battery. One controls the headlights. They need to have a new link put on.
Tried connecting CD player in a Nissan 93 Altima. Now when the radio only switches on with the headlights and interior lights don't work when the headlights are on.Dimmer or illumination wiring wrong?
Check for a bad ground Im guessing that you connected the new CD player power wire to the illumination wire for the old stereo. Find a power wire that has 12v when the ignition is on.
