CD Player turns off when headlights come on! Options

[torhne]

ok, i got it fixed, my problem before, it was one of the big fuses under neath the hood by the battery. but anyways, now that i have my cd player installed, i am getting no sound from any of the speakers for some reason, but the cd player is on, which is a huge step forward. But when i flick the headlights on, the cd player starts cycling on and off and keeps doing so until i hit the high beams, then it just stays off, all my gauges work, clock, cig lights etc etc... so any suggestions?

well if there is a short then it wont pop test right at all, and i woud say just run a constant wire from the batt to the radio thats an easy way to do it, the only thing is you will have to turn the radio on and off, but i would check and see what the voltage is doing on both the constant and switch wire, also i would replace the radio fuses because it might not look blown but it could be half way blown for a lack of a beter term. also you could try grounding the radio in a diff spot i know that helped in my car. if you try all that stuff and nothing works let me know and ill see what else i can think to check
