A quick test for my suggestion would be to (with car off) take your multimeter red + lead and touch it to the wire you have hooked to your red wire from the cd player (with the black - lead obviously touched to ground). Now turn your headlights on and see if you get 12+ volts. If not, check the wire that is hooked to your yellow wire and do the same thing. That should let you know if my theory is true.

I guess theres not much I can dispute about that!
I still think he has the illumination wire from the car going to the wrong wire on the cd player, and still think he should verify which wire is actually the illumination wire with a multimeter.
