    Why does my Jensen CD1213 Car Receiver blow fuses?
    • M
      Margaret GatesAug 12, 2025
      Your Jensen Car Receiver might be blowing fuses due to several reasons: * The power wire could be shorting to the ground. Ensure the wire isn't pinched. * Speaker wires might be shorting to the ground. Make sure the speaker wire is not pinched. * An incorrect fuse or one that's too small could be installed. Install a fuse with the correct rating.

      If not all speakers are working with your Jensen Car Receiver, it could be due to: * Incorrect splices or connections. Check all splices and connections. * Speaker wires shorting to the chassis ground or to each other. Check splices and insulate all bare wires.

      Ashley BakerSep 3, 2025
      If your Jensen Car Receiver's CD player skips too much, it might be because the receiver mount isn't solid or the backstrap isn't secure. Check the mounting and backstrap, and tighten if needed.
