I keep getting a cd error in my 96 max. when I try to play a cd. If i screw around with the forward and reverse buttons a little bit it sometimes works. I saw on a site that I may have a bad resistor in the head unit. Anyone know how to fix it or been through this before.

 

I havent tried to fix my bose but I looked around and this might help you out http://madchef.5u.com/maxima/bose/fixes.html

 

I had this exact same thing happen in my '93 J30 Bose HU, lookily I worked around the corner from a guy here in Dallas, Willman's Electronics, he only works on Bose HU and speakers, he fixed it liked new for $180. However on my current '95 Maxima Bose HU, when I turn on the headlights my HU display goes out, so I am going to take it apart on Friday and try to MadChef resistor fix.

Here is his site, www.willmanselectronics.com

 

this seems to be a re-occuring issue with the Maxs

My HU isnt playing CD's also I get the "CD Errr"

I have seen the write up on how to fix the CD Err message (solder all the resistors) I would like to know if anyone has done this and restored their cd player back to life?

I took apart my bose, and was about to take off thd Cd player unit to check the resistors I got a little worried and didnt want to mess up my unit, so if someone has done this sucessfully then I will attempt, if not I'll see if a electronic shop can do it, just to solder all check all resistors shouldnt cost too much right?

thanks.

 

I saw the website that show how to disassemble and fix the hu, but it wasn't too clear on where all the resistors were and how many there are. Anyone done this or have a good pic of the problem parts?
