Pioneer loses power when face is opened to eject CD

I have a Pioneer DEH-PC25 detachable face CD player. Normally, to eject a CD, I would open the face plate, it would flip down, then I would hit the eject button to change CD's. (the eject button and CD drive both located behind the face plate). The problem now is that when I open the face, the unit powers off to where the eject button has no power and I am unable to eject the CD. As soon as I close the face, the power kicks back on. I tried pushing in the little sensor that lets the unit know the face is up while I had the face open, and it does nothing.

This process was working just fine where I had power and music playing while the face was open, until I hooked a new amp to it. Everything is wired correctly to the amp. I am using FRONT OUT rca from head unit to AMP. Dedicated power from battery to AMP. Remote from head unit to AMP. AMP is grounded.

I even tried disconnecting the AMP, and my CD player still has the problem.

I have my radio wiring as:
red - to red ignition
yellow - to orange constant (lighter)
orange - to orange constant (lighter)
blue - amp remote
black - grounded

Within my CD menu, FIFE is off, Subwoofer is off. I do not have a cd changer installed.

Does anyone know why this thing all the sudden wants to power off when I open my face plate to get to the eject button? I think it was dumb that they engineered it like that anyways.

Please help.

try using the reset button on the head unit.
if that doesn't help, it may need to be repaired.
