Ok...here's the story.
I was on my way to the post office...minding my own business while listening to the sultry sounds of The Best of Pantera : Far Beyond The Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! (by the way, if you don't have this yet, CFH...it's all their "major" hits and has a DVD with the videos). Anyway, it was probably turned up a little bit too far, but nothing that would really cause any "long-term damage"...if you know what I mean. So, I get out at the post office and mail the letters that I have. I get back in my truck, crank the engine and drive away. After about 20 seconds, I realize that my CD isn't playing anymore. I turn it off and back on and mess with the volume...nothing. "You blew a fuse, idiot", I think to myself. So, I head off to Wal-Mart to get some fuses. I'm inside for maybe 15 minutes or so and then I leave after paying for the fuses. I get in the truck, crank it...and am greated with the sultry sounds of Pantera again.
Now, if it were a fuse problem, it wouldn't have come back on...unless there were some seriously weird fuses in my truck (2003 GMC Sierra, btw). The radio also didn't work during that time. I'm thinking electrical problem...but not sure. Do car CD players have built-in functions that make it so it won't work if the volume is too high? I tried turning the truck off and back on several times while turning the CD player off and on as well to no avail.
Any ideas?
