I have a 6 disc cd changer, and one disc got stuck so i took a butter knife to it to get it out because it worked before(big mistake). In effect i knocked out the sound, and the connection to the radio and the cd player and that in return caused my srs light to come on. No fuses are blown and i disconnected the ground cable in my battery for a couple hours to see if that would reset it, but to no avail it didnt work. Since money is tight right now im curious if there is anything i can do personally to get my radio and sound back working with out spending an arm and a leg?

Thanks for any suggestions
much appreciated

I see i got 25 views but no replies...im going to assume everyone is as stumped as i am ?

 

Over the winter, I replaced one of the linkages to a stepper motor on the HVAC system which involved taking almost the whole dash apart and removal of the center console. To give myself more working room, I had removed the seats.

When I got it back together, I got the SRS light, it would go out on occasion. I ended up bringing the car to the dealer for repair and it turned out to be a back connector under the seat that is part of the SRS system. When I picked it up, the face plate of the radio would light up but no sound. I brought it back to the dealer and they had to reset it utilizing the STAR system computer interface.

Did you check fuses with a continuity tester?

 

The Shop i took it to said they checked out all the fuses and nothing appeared to be blown....i dont know about a continuity test....it worked fine before i put the knife under the 6 disc changer and i think i saw something spark. So i must have cut something. Is there a way to dismantle the 6 disc changer and pull it out to replace that wire perhaps? not sure what to do from here. Think i could take it to a car audio shop or do i really have to break down and take it to the Mercedes dealer? or any ideas on taking the cd player out....thanks for posting that tid bit of knowledge....

Later

 

there is a fuse on the back of the radio...or there is a fuse on the older radios anyway not absolutly sure on your 2002C, you might want to check that.
