CD Player HELP!!!

[93Lude]

also, check teh fuse on the inside the car, backup fuse outside the car and the cd player fuse, if it aint one of thosem ,ake sure the connectors you used to combine wires are tightned and the wires are connecting...if all fails, its the cd player

I hooked it up to a bare battery,(not in any car)

did you fix it? i lost my front speaker output because of touching wires before.thats why they reccomend you unhook your battery before installing a stereo or amp. if the radio is still shorting out its proably toast.
