How to Troubleshoot a Delco CD Player

How to Troubleshoot a Delco CD Player

Delco is a General Motors-operated company that makes car CD players. If you bought a CD-enabled car from GM, your CD player likely says Delco on the front. Like all car CD players, Delco CD players can become broken relatively easily. Hitting a speed bump at the wrong time or getting dust in the wrong place can make something slip. There are several ways to repair a Delco CD player.

Instructions

    1

    Check that the knob on the device is set to "CD."

    2

    Insert a lens-cleaning CD into your CD player. Available at most electronics stores, these CDs have small brushes on them that delicately clean the laser that reads the discs. If your CDs are skipping, this will likely solve the problem.

    3

    Replace the CD player fuse. If the fuse is dead or loose, this could be causing the problems. Use your car owners manual to locate the fuse box and check the fuse labeled "stereo."

    4

    Check the stereo connections. Again, your owners manual will tell you how to find them. If the connections are loose, adjust them. Be sure that the car is turned off when you do this! If the wire is frayed or the connections are broken entirely, you will need to take the car in to an auto shop for repair.
