I have an AC Delco CD Player (single disc) in my 2003 Chevy Blazer.

It was working fine then all at once it just quit. The lights still come on and I don't have any errors or locked messages. All my preset stations are still there and the time is still there. I just can't get any sound from it. It is like someone just unpluged the speakers. I have check all the wires. I also thought that maybe it was my aftermarket AMP that I had. So I then bypass that and still nothing.

Has anyone ever had a problem like this with an AC Delco radio? If you have and know what I should do please reply.

thanks

I now have taken the radio out just to see if I could smell anything burnt. I can't find anything wrong anywhere.

Does anyone have any ideas where I should look next?

Make sure you don't have a speaker/wire blown/shorted somewhere, other than that it sounds like the radio's bad.

If I had a bad wire, Would that make all the other speaker quit?

I read somewhere that the output amp inside might be bad. Is there anyway to test that?

Yes, if you have bad wire it can cause you other speakers to quit by cooking the amp in the fact. unit. It can be tested but more than likely it would be cheaper to either but a used fact. unit or an aftermaket unit. No matter what you decide make sure check out your wiring so you don't have another one go bad. Good Luck.

I have a DC metter. Do you know if there is any way to test the outputs with that? If so what kind of reading should I look for?

If you're going to do that, disconnect all the speakers, and use a cd with a test tone on it.  Test the speaker wires for ac voltage.  However, it'd be easier to just use a test speaker and connect it to the different sets of speaker wires one by one.  Only do this after you've ensured no speaker wires are grounding out.

yes the entire unit will lose audio with a pinch or short on even one wire.... grab a DMM, disconnect the power/speaker connector and meter each speaker wire for continuity to ground... if you get a reading on any of them then you have a short... trace it down and repair it or else cut and run new speaker wiring (whichever  is easiest)...
