View Full Version : Need some help identifying these wires (factory CD)

Alright I've got a 2nd generation Honda CD player (available for 4th gen Accords, I believe) The problem I'm having is, it will load a cd and the display will come on (see 1st pic), but it will not play. It will spin it, make a few of the usual little cd player noises, and then eject. It came with a harness specifically for the add on cd players, with extra wires coming out to go to the cd player, but there were only 3 extra wires.

--this is all it does when you put a cd in, then spits it back out a few seconds later--

These are the 6 wires that come out the back (power wires--there's another plug for audio, illumination, etc). The wires are: Brown, Orange, White, Yellow w/red stripe, White w/blue stripe, and black. I was only able to attach the 3 on the right (yel w/red, whi w/blu, and black, which are 2 +12v and ground). The other 3 seem to have no home. There's no more extra wires coming out of the harness, and I don't even see any wires of that color.

BTW--this plug is usually plugged right into the inside of the cd player. I just unplugged it to show the wires.

--These wires come straight out the back and into the wire harness--

Anybody know anything about these things? Could these wires be causing the cd antiplayage? They've got to go to something, but what I don't know, lol. Any ideas? And before I get flamed--after my car got broken into and my Pioneer 4100 was stolen, this was all I could afford as a replacement (yes, it was cheap). But still it would be cool if it worked, lol.

Thanks :)
