I just got my new car back from the shop, and tried out the CD player (6 CD changer) and there's 2 interesting problems with it.

The first issue is that the CD player skips exactly the same time as I hit bumps (even small ones) and it skips almost continiously. I have a good cleaning CD (the one that has little brushes on the bottom) but it won't work in my CD player, it won't even start it up. I know the suspension is really tight, but I'm sure it was skip-free when it was new.

The other issue is that the speakers keep turning on and off as I'm driving - never all at once - but in sections. The fronts, the rears, the left side or right side. Each side is disconnecting independent of each other, and it happens when I hit bumps in the road. It's acting like there's a short somewhere, but it affects ALL speakers at different times.

The only clue I have is that when I hit my electronic seat buttons, it makes the speakers come back on! Also if I bang the center console, it sometimes makes the speakers come back on as well...Does that mean there's a short in the wiring somewhere? What should I do? It's an '03 Enthusiast with Bose sound system. Thanks in advance.

 

Sounds more like a loose wire connection or bad ground to me.

 

your shop might be... shady

 

If the shop just did some work and now its messed up, take it back.

 

they forgot to put a wire in or something lose for sure you just need to take it back or try somewhere else easy fix

 

The shop had to replace my ECM, and the speaker problem had been happening even before I took it in though.

I guess when I get some free time I'm going to have to take out the stereo console and see what I can figure out.
