Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Accidently Put Penny Into CD Player Leads To Dead Radio
My wonderful three year old put a penny into the CD player. First it played, then it stopped and we got weird loud popping noises, even with the volume off. Now the radio/CD player is off and can't be turned on.
It seems like a good time to upgrade, but what should I be looking for as far as no power to the audio?
Fuse?
I know nothing about this stuff.
Prius (2010-12) :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On After Blinking For 1 Minute - Dead Sensor
I am driving down the road and the TPMS light starts to blink - and then stays on. I looked in the manual and it says that "When the light comes on after blinking for 1 minute: Malfunction in the tire pressure warning system." The resolution is to "Have the system checked by your Toyota dealer."
All my pressures, including the spare are how I have them set. I also made sure to re-set the TPMS button under the steering wheel to the new pressures and everything. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm kinda mad a sensor has failed though on a car that's less than one year old.
Chrysler - Cirrus :: Speedometer Stopped Working - Sensor Or A Cable?
I have a 97 Chrysler Cirrus, and have been driving it for about 5 months. The other day, as I was driving, the speedometer stopped working. It did that one time before, but started back working. However, this time, it still is not working and I have no idea how fast/slow I am going. Often, my car has little glitches where you have to lock/unlock the door a certain way or it does not work right. Everybody jokes that my car has OCD! Also, once you crank the car, you have to turn the key back halfway or certain things don't work- like the clock, wipers, turn signals, etc. I don't know if this is related to the speedometer situation or not. The last time the speedometer stopped working, I had the AC on and a cassette tape in the deck; I was trying to hit the rewind button, but kind of accidentally pushed between fast-forward and rewind, and that is when the speedometer stopped working. I am not sure this is related. Do you know if my car has a sensor or a cable for the speedometer? Is this something that can be easily and inexpensively fixed?
View 1 RepliesFord Ranger / B-Series :: 1993 - Changed Speedometer Cable And Sensor Still Bouncing?
so i changed the speedo cable and speed sensor in my 93 ranger, but still getting the speedometer bounce. what could be next? the speedo housing in the cluster? lubed the inner cable, made sure nothing is kinked or sharp bends. Put in a new vehicle speed sensor while i was at it just bcuz. cruise control does not hold a steady speed either but i think the 2 are not related. I'm leaning towards the cruise control servo as to why it does not hold a steady speed. Most of the time once i get to around sixty i'm basically driving by ear bcuz the speedo bounces from 60down to 55 and back up.

View 4 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Replaced Dead Battery Now No Radio
I replaced my dead battery today. Once the new battery was in everything worked just fine except for the radio. The radio is not in safe mode it is completely dead. The radio worked after my last jump. I had turned it off before replacing the battery. Now it will not turn on and the security light does not blink.
I have checked the fuse and it looks good. I have removed the fuse for a while and put it back in with no luck. Is there a trick to getting it to come back on?
Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Turning Off Resulted In ACC Instead With Message To Shift To Park
'17 Ultima has the "New Stero" syndrome... 300km and when I got home today turning if off resulted in ACC instead with message to Shift to P.
Still at the dealer. Can't figure it out... Everything, well almost everything I guess, says it's in Park. Swapping parts is next.
At least it was still doing it when I got to the dealer. I just hope they find the offending component and that it doesn't turn into a 'self-healer', waiting to do it again. Dealer says first time they have encountered it...
Touareg :: Replaced 2 Out Of 4 Tires Resulted In Clunk Noise From Under Vehicle?
I recently replaced the 2 rear Pirelli 19"s on the back with Michelin Diamaris 4x4. I left the slightly worn 2 front Pirellis on thinking NO big deal. WRONG! By not replacing all 4 tires at the same time I noticed a "clunking" noise coming from under the vehicle while under 20mph.
After trouble shooting at 2 different dealerships the second one concluded that I need 2 new front tires. At first they thought that the left front drive shaft was bad but after installing a new one "clunk" was still there. Dealer removed 4 wheels/tires from a new Touareg and placed them on my '04 and "clunk" went away. My '04 has the 4 corner air suspension and locking differentials as well.
5 Series :: 528i - Radio Is Dead And Red Airbag Indicator On
Just started my car after dropping off the boy at school this morning. Now The radio is dead and i have a red airbag indicator on. Thinking this must be related somehow. where to start looking to resolve this could it be a fuse, or does it sound expensive to fix.

On Monday morning, I turned the key to my V8 and nothing happened. No lights, no chime, nothing except the radio still worked. I called VW roadside assistance and the AAA guy who came couldn't jump start it. So the truck had to be (in park with the steering wheel locked and the key locked in the ignition) dragged onto a flatbed ...
Now one week later, they still can't figure it out...except to tell me that it's not the battery... I should have bought the Lexus.
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: CD Player And Lights On The Radio Is Dead

View 8 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Monsoon Radio Dead After New Battery?
So pretty recently the battery in my MK4 GTI went bad and when I put in a new one everything went back to normal except for my radio. The stereo doesn't turn on at all, no power goes too it period. The security light doesn't blink, the buttons don't light up when I switch on my headlights. It didn't ask for a radio security code or anything. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot or what to do at all and when I asked my local stereo shop to fix it they informed me that it would cost $70 an hour for them to "investigate".
I have the stock premium Monsoon radio, the typical double DIN one. Before I changed the battery I tried jumping it and all it did was heat up the jumper cables, not sure if that blew the fuse in the radio.
Passat (B6) :: Main Fuse Blown And Dead Radio
As part of my 2 months saga of a defective transmission (LINK) the main 150 amp fuse between the battery and the alternator was found blown (after the dealer had for a week) and replaced.
Now I picked up my car and the radio will not turn on, does not light up or display anything. Tranny guy said he never tried it, I assume something happened when the main fuse was blown.
I checked both the 5 and 15 Amp fuses in the engine compartment assigned to the radio, both are good.
Is there another fuse inside the radio or something like that?
This is a 2006 Passat Value Edition
Golf/GTI VI :: Rain Sensor Part Bumpy, Rear Mirror Was Hanging
A month ago, when I got into my car I saw that my rear view mirror was hanging freely with the tension of the rain sensor cables. My windshield was changed last winter. The thing is insurance company didn't change it with the original factory version. So I think they removed the rain sensor from the old one and tried to stick it to the new one. And the whether was so hot at that time so the glue just came off. The only part of the mirror that didn't came off was a black sticker kind of thing with a hole for the rain sensor in the middle of it. Then I tried to stick it back using super glue. Well it worked for a month but yesterday my mirror fell of again. So I cleaned the residue of the super glue from windshield using acetone and left it like that.
I'm thinking of taking the car to service now. Oh and btw the rain sensor part is a bit bumpy right now. I mean it doesn't stay in a fixed position. It stays a little bit in front of the hole it should stay in so gluing the mirror back is possible only if I apply the glue to the rain sensor.
Passat (B7) :: Passenger Side Door Sensor Is Dead
Well it looks like the passenger side door sensor is dead since the MFD shows the door wide open.
Where the actual sensor is since I don't really see anything around the door.
Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Engine Cut Out And Car Is Dead - Cranked Sensor
My 2000 2.5 V6 TDI Passat has just died.. was doing 60-70 and went to change gear and the engine cut out, tried to restart and its just cranking over and over. Did have a message on the display and the glow plug light on when i was coasting something about management but didn't get the whole message, wasn't on for long.
The recovery guy reckons it might be the crank sensor.
The cambelt should have loads of miles and time left before it goes.
I'd like to sort this myself or at least be sure of what the problem is before i take it anywhere, so what to check for?
There's fuel in the filter and it turns over fine (it could be my paranoia but maybe cranking a little fast)
i just changed a CV joint to fix one problem yesterday, this is the last thing i need!
Ford - Explorer :: 1997 - Radio Dead / No Lights And No Sound
My radio worked fine. No issues. Next day got in car and radio was dead. No lights, no sound. I bought a new radio XO Vision brand.
I bought a Schoshe wiring kit and wired it up according the instructions. I have power. There are lights and everything but no sound. No static. Nothing.
There are posts about the amp...not sure if i have one. Mine is the 97 explorer that had the 6cd changer in the console.
There is a blue wire left over and the orange one. (Orange is for illumination so I assume I don't need this.)
Camry :: 2009 - Check Engine Light Is On And O2 Sensor Dead
My 2009 Camry check engine light is on. Dealer said the two O2 sensor both are dead and need to replace. After dealer reset the check engine light I have driven two days for 50 miles and the check engine light doesn't come back. If the O2 sensor is bad how long does it take for check engine light on again? Is it possible the check engine report on by mistake since two O2 sensors got bad at the exact same time is really rare.

I was driving today enjoying the weather and a hit a few rough patches on the road. Nothing unusual. However I hit a bump and my Radio, GPS, and AC controls are now completely dead. I didn't hear the fuse blow and it seems strange that the radio and GPS would altogether go out. Only the Security light and Airbag light work. Nothing else.
