    It's the red wire, right? It's probably hitting a ground connection and shorting. Get the player out, cut the wire a lil' so its isolated to the end of itself, retape the wire and put player back in. I'm pretty positive it's the red wire shorting some place.

    Red/black stripe is the dimmer/illumination circuit. Make sure it's not shorting to ground and replace the fuse which should be under the dash or under the hood.
