My brothers 97 maxima SE's cd player is making a loud clicking noise, and he doesnt use it so he just wants to disconnect it. Which wire would i have to cut behind the headunit to kill the cd function... I figure if he ever needs a cd player he can just hook up a cd changer later on. Anyone know which wire or what steps i need to do for this to happen? Thanks.

 

Why don't you just hit the fm button or the off buton? Am I missing somthing?

 

just above ur left knee where the fuse box is...open it up and look at the cover...look for the one that says radio or some shiet like that...then look at the fuse...then pull...

 

im not trying to disable the whole radio, just the cd part of it. The cd player is making a clicking noise while the radio is in FM mode also. All i need to figure out is how to kill the cd player of the headunit and not the whole headunit.

 

It needs fixed take it to be fixed or just get a new one and call it a night. It sounds like one of the gears for the mechinisim for holding the cd is messed up.

 

Dont get me wrong, I agree with you 100%, but it's my brothers car and hes cheap, oh **** it, im gonna tell him it's his problem.
Thanks guys for the info though.
