Hyundai Repair: change put into cd player, hyundai santa fe, radio out


Question
Hi,
I know this is silly but I have a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe and my 2 year old has put at least one penny that I know of into my CD Player and it no longer will play cd's.  Is there a way I can fix it myself?

Thanks so much!

Answer
You'll need to remove the dash facia, pull the radio out, remove the covers from the radio, and try to get the coins out that way.  

Leaving the coin inside could short the interior and tail lamp circuits as well as a couple other circuits, so it's important to get the coins out or unplug the radio to prevent the shorting.  

If you can't get the coins out an must have a radio, I'd recommend aftermarket before another Hyundai radio.  In my experience, Hyundai radios are unreliable and overpriced.
