Replying to: technosoft (Jan 07, 2008 7:16 pm) I just tried it...and it worked! Thanks so much for posting, I was just about to have it looked by an Isuzu dealer! Great Timing!!

Replying to: technosoft (Jan 07, 2008 7:16 pm) I had been thinking for a almost a month that I needed to try looking for a burnt fuse in my wife's Axiom. I stumbled across this post and it really saved me. I really appreciate the detail you added to your post. (I went straight to the fuse "Audio +B 15A" from the panel guide.)   The reason it was so important that I found this post is that I would have probably not fixed the problem otherwise. He is what I did: 1. Went to the car and did not put the key in the ignition. 2. Pulled fuse "Audio +B 15A" and checked to see if it was burnt. 3. It was not burnt so I replaced it. 4. Put the key in and turned the ignition just enough to get the radio going. 5. Push the Eject on the changer, and then the CD button on the radio... nothing. 6. Against my better judgment, I pulled the same fuse again while it was powered on. 7. I replaced the fuse and cringed at the huge blue spark that it caused. 8. The CD changer immediately started shuffling. 9. I pressed the eject button and got my CDs out. 10. I verified that the CD player is working like new.   It's all good in the neighborhood. Thank you community. Thank you Google. Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 15, 2008 6:56 pm) jamrock02 (Sep 22, 2008 5:30 pm) isu2 (Jun 01, 2009 1:49 pm) steve_ (Jun 01, 2009 1:53 pm)

Replying to: rbronosky (Aug 15, 2008 6:18 pm) pulled the same fuse again while it was powered on.   Interesting variation - I'll add that trick to the Stuck CD guide. Sweet (although the big blue spark would scare the crap out of me)!

Replying to: rbronosky (Aug 15, 2008 6:18 pm) WOW, I'm glad I found this. The CD on my 02 Ax stopped playing, gave a 'mechanical error A' on the readout, wouldn't do anything but the radio worked, fortunately the dealer replaced it under warrenty (so they claim). I'm wondering now as I've seen this post. I recently got rear ended and the cd player stopped playing, possible jammed from the impact. The insurance refused to pay fore it because they or I can't prove it was the accident that caused it. (Unh!) Anyway the dealer wants $465.00 to replace and another $150.00 for labor. The court has awarded judgement for the driver that hip me to pay for it, still waiting for the check. The accident was Nov 07 its now Sept 08 and I'm still waiting fro the check. I'll try this fuse thing and let you all know. Then I could use the check if I ever get it for a cold air intake. Replies to this message: isu2 (Jun 01, 2009 1:49 pm) steve_ (Jun 01, 2009 1:53 pm)

I don't have any stuck cd problem; yet there seems an err message displayed. My cd won't play and constantly reads err message, but radio works fine. I have 6-cd on a isuzu axiom, v6

Replying to: isu2 (Jun 01, 2009 1:49 pm) Sounds like a good tip. Was it a wiring harness that you unplugged then?
#15 of 16 How to Fix the CD Changer Lockup Problem by walk_the_walk2 Jul 02, 2009 (6:11 pm)
Thank you RB! Just tried this and it worked. Posted elsewhere, reposting it here:   Incredible good luck. Thinking my 02 Axiom's 6 CD Clarion Changer had died, I was attempting to buy another one, only to find out that there was nothing wrong with it in the first place. I read the tip in this section about removing the B+ fuse and it reset my CD changer and it is NOW WORKING FINE!    I think the whole lockup/freezeup/no response problem was caused by my battery running dead a few weeks ago, when the interior light was left on, so this could happen to anyone.    Here are the exact steps to correct the problem, in case your Axiom CD changers freezes up:    **************    Remove the Axiom's interior fuse panel cover at the left hand side of the dashboard by the driver's side door. Look for the B+ Audio Acc fuse, a 15 amp fuse (blue). It is the 2nd fuse from the top and is labeled for Audio Accessories.    With the car turned off, unplug the B+ 15 amp fuse using a small pair of needle nose pliars. With the fuse removed, start up the Axiom. The amber MID display will now be completely blank. Shut off the car and reinstall the same 15 A fuse (unless its blown, of course, in which case you need a new one instead). This sequence appears to reset the MID Control Panel/CD connection somehow.    When you restart the car with the fuse in place, the CD changer on your 02 Axiom should come back to life and eject the CD cartridge. All should work again, or else the CD changer is defective or jammed.    Thank you to rbronosky for his original post on this elsewhere in this forum. I did the same steps, only without making a big spark, as I reinserted the fuse with the car turned off. But, I would have never even guessed this was possible without his post. THANK YOU, RBRONOSKY!    *************    Now, for the bad news. This is my 2nd CD changer, which I bought on Ebay from a junkyard for about $75. I replaced the original CD changer, because it had jammed up, too, JUST LIKE THIS ONE, and I tossed it out, thinking it was dead. It even had a CD cartridge still stuck in it. That unit may well have had nothing wrong with it in the 1st place!!    Final comment: Some folks could easily get suckered into paying $600 for a new CD player from their dealer just because their CD locked up like mine. Isuzu sure has done a terrible job communicating problems with their vehicles. We should not have to learn how to fix these kinds of problems thru the grapevine, and Isuzu deserves to no longer be in the US car market! Replies to this message: rodrigkb (Oct 19, 2009 3:54 am)

Replying to: walk_the_walk2 (Jul 02, 2009 6:11 pm) This process absolutely works. Thank you! Been driving without my CD player for 1 yr now since it was out of warrently. This took about 30 secs to fix. Now just need to find an answer to my compass and clock issue.
