Last Sunday, I rolled my blazer. One full rotation. I was lucky enough (God Bless) to walk away uninjured, but my blazer was not so luck. I need a new back window, hood, and front fenders. Other than that the body is fine. I got very lucky.
My problem: All the fuses are fine. My CD player isn't damaged. I'm getting power from my ACC and constant. (I tested with meter) But I can't get my CD player to turn on. It just wont work. Again, the fuses are fine, the wires are hooked up right, and I'm getting power from the wires, but the deck just wont turn on. PLEASE, help me.

Did you check for an in-line fuse on the head unit main power? Will the radio section power on? Was it playing when you rolled the vehicle? The CD mechanism may be toast. ------------- Support the12volt.com

You didn't mention checking the ground. Also wouldn't hurt to check the battery connections even though you have measured power on the wires, and check frame ground as well. And sometimes a stereo has a fuse on the back of it either inline on the power wire(s) or on the chassis itself. Check it. And I agree with DYohn, the stereo might have taken internal damage that cannot be seen. You can remove it from the dash, then splice main power and constant power together(usually red and yellow wires) and then hook it straight to the battery with power wires on positive side, and ground wire on negative side. Then see if if will come on. Have a friend to help hold the wires while you turn it on. Good to hear you are OK, and you are right you WERE LUCKY. You should thank God for Him sparing your life. He was watching over you that day. I've been in several accidents including driving in a 93 Corsica that was hit in the side by a semi tractor trailer driving up the wrong side of the road as I was making a left turn into a gas station. He came from behind me and I didn't see him cause I was looking ahead at the oncoming traffic. I never imagined that a semi would be coming the wrong way and hit me. I was lucky too. No one was hurt.

Audeogod--I'm a Catholic, and I do thank God every day for his blessings and mercy. It's good to hear that others believe in God as well.
As for the unit itself being damaged, it's fine. I hooked up a brand new pioneer deck that I had lying around. It's brand new and still in the box, so I knew it was good. I've checked the ground, and with the power and it is good too. Also, my dome light doesn't work. You know, when you open your door--that light that comes on isn't coming on. Maybe they're tied together.
Thanks for the feedback.

Also, the unit will not come on at all. Not even power up. The fuse in the deck is fine.
