You might want to check if your fuse/s are blown.You might have a short somewhere between the cig. lighter and stereo.
Good luck.

Hmmmm.....it sounds like your security system for the stereo is activated. Maybe you might have to reset your code. I know there was a thread about this awhile back. You might want to repost this subject in the Audio Video section so more will reply.
Good luck and hope you can solve this.

The radio uses 2 power sources. Constant and accessory. Your cigarette lighter fuse and tied into the accessory circuit also (turns on with car), your radio is still getting power from the constant power source (red light), your radio is not turning on because the accessory fuse to the cig lighter is shot (it needs to see power for it to turn on - <ie: key on>) -- check your fuses again, there are 2 fuse boxes in your car.

You still have a short somwhere that is blowing the fuse. Probably one of the metal strips in the phone plug is touching its neighbor, or you have a bad Y connector at the lighter socket. It may blow again.

The short may be in the cell phone cig. lighter adapter. Not in the car itself. Check for a short in the adapter first.

yeah i took the adapter back to best buy and were going to get another one, and if it does the same thing then i know what the problem
