Major WTF!
How in the world you hooked that up? Did you followed the instructions or just tapped on any red wire that you saw. Take it to a place that sells stereos and tell them to hook it up for you. Is highly possible that you might fry the electrical system and will cost you way more to repair it.
You could also have a weak Battery, get it load test like in Auto Zone or any place that has the ability to do it. Or wires crossed that is draining the battery.

If your battery is over 5 years old, you need a new one. Make sure you didn't blow a fuse while installing the CD player. While installing the player, you may have run the battery down with the key on and engine off especially if the battery is old and doesn't hold a charge well. Get a jump start if needed and drive to an auto parts store to have the battery and charging system checked for free. View the online jump start video below. If you didn't blow any fuses, then the CD player is probably hooked up ok. You simply connect it to any ignition switched circuit battery wire.

First check and see if you have a loose connection on your battery. If that doesn't work you may need to hook up an amp to your cd player.

Does the player turn off when you turn off the key?
Maybe you wired it wrong or if it does go off with the key off, maybe you loosened something in the dash.
It could also be cooincidental, depanding on where you live, you may ahev a loose belt or you battery is indeed goig out. There are free battery tests at the local parts store usually.

may well be a defective starter/ solinoid.. If it grew to become into the alternator, the vehicle might start up the warning lighting fixtures may well be on the sprint continually and the 1st signes may well be as your applying alongside the radio wouold fade out, then the vehicle might decrease out and no power in any respect...then you definately wait and the battery might get well, and the vehicle might restart.. yet might basically run for a shorter distance. each night you will possibly ought to recharge the battery and interior the morning the vehicle might start up first time every time. So i think of changing the alt grew to become right into a waist of pennies. according to possibility in case you may upload if the vehicle actuatly turns over once you positioned the important in and attempt to start it.. or if each little thing is lifeless?, while the engine wont start up- does the radio artwork nice?. If it grew to become right into a gasoline pump i might think of it would turn over and slutter to life with what's interior the carb/injection equipment
