Once again I am back with question. I have the stock CD player option, with the CD player separate from the head unit (its where the cubby hole would be).  It has worked great up until now. Just went for a ride, and it wouldn't eject the cd (standard, prerecorded cd), won't recognize that a cd is inserted (almost positive there is one in there), and will not play it.  Any ideas? pull the fuse? No theftlock (whatever they call the anti-theft stuff) code, so no problem there.  Haven't had a chance to look at it.  It played the cd just fine a couple of days ago, took a trip on Wednesday, never even turned the radio on (funeral trip), and tonight went to change the cd and it wont eject or play! help!

well i have no idea what would cause that to happen.  you should try the fuse if its not getting power in the first place, but if it has power and still doesnt work theres not much you can do,  these things really cant be easily repaired, youd have to take it to a dealer...

I don't know for sure about the remote cd players, but I would think there would be something in the display of the head unit if there was a CD in the player.

 

Maybe it is a loose interface wire between the two units.

If I remember correctly, that cd unit gets all of its connections right into the back of the head unit. The dash trim is only held on with clips and if you pull it off both the head unit and cd player are also held in by clips you squeeze on the sides and slide straight out. Check the connections at the harnesses, maybe unplug them then plug them back in. If the radio has power, I think the cd runs off of that (and the same fuse) so its got to be either a bad connection between the radio and cd or the cd player died. If you do decide to pull the dash trim off, tilt the wheel all the way down and put it in Low 1 if its a column shift, makes it a lot easier. Then use a small screwdriver to assist with prying the clips on the  wiring harness connections for the lights and whatever else plugs into the back of your dash plate.

If you do take the cd unit out, you can remove the cover screws to see if theres a cd in there or not, but if there is, unless you can get power to it, it will be almost impossible to get it out of there. I know because when I changed my head unit, I forgot to take out the cd and had to do surgery on it to retrieve it once the harness had no power going to it. Theres a bunch of little pins and springs and sliders in there that if you manupulate them to release the cd, you can slide it out little by little. I wouldn't recommend it.

Good luck.

Also, I was just thinking, it may be the head unit itself (the circuits which run the cd player) So if the radio works, but not the cd, it could really be either one with the problem if all the connections seem okay.

Try this....Take another CD or a knife blade and carefully stick it into the slot.  Run it inward along the bottom, trying to get it under the CD that is inside the player now.  Hit eject when you get under it.  Get a CD player cleaner.

Thanks for the tips guys! I pulled the dash trim off today, pulled the cd player and radio, reset the connections and it works again. I think the connector for the cd player at the radio had worked loose. Thanks again!

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
