You might try the stereo forum for some better help than I can offer. We have so many forums now, sometimes I wonder why the '67-'72 forum still exists...

I think it's because the 67-72 crowd is a lot like the FE crowd.We just won't go away.If you watch who posts in which forums you can't help but notice a lot of members post in both.

I think he means because the NON-year specific threads aren't getting moved like they use to and IMO, should be.

The Year truck forums are being the catch-all forums.

Little do they know it makes things WORSE for us answering threads/topics when you have to go thru all these off-Topic/forum threads.

Plus it sends the actual Year specific threads off the first page un-necessarily

I have always stated.

"Build the system specific forums .....as good as the year truck specific forums".

People can be just as knowledgeable & congenial in a different setting.

FTE is always evolving and changing...and one of the newer changes is not to move threads quite as much. Many folks get to feeling comfortable in certain forums they frequent and want to stay within that forum to get the answers to most of their questions. We feel that they should be able to do so, to a certain extent.

However, I agree that this particular question would be much more suited to the A/V forum so with this in mind, I have moved it there and notified the user.

Looks like somebody made a wrong connection ...What brand/model CD Player...what vehicle? What head unit? Did you go back to instructions and run thru them again? Word for word.

Obviously, you have power. Restart from there.
