#20 of 29 Re: HELP please! long commute and radio stopped working [vg33e power] by jlevi Jul 13, 2009 (2:36 pm)
Replying to: vg33e power (Jul 13, 2009 7:05 am) Thank you for the response. A friend once said there's no such thing as bad head but clearly he was wrong ! So this sounds like replacing the radio would be the way to go - get a unit plug it in and I should be good to go ? Thanks again -

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 03, 2007 7:25 am) my Escape is a 07 and I put in 2 cd's (4 were already in), then nothing would happen, wouldn't eject or play. Kept saying eject error. I tried the fuse thing, didn't work but maybe I didn't leave it out long enough. I then held the eject button and pounded on the dashboard. Next thing you know 3-6 were ejecting. I had to push the eject button and pound again and 1 and 2 popped out. I am so excited, figured I was going to have to take it in somewhere (and pay the library for their cd's, 1 and 2 were theirs).

Replying to: dlmerts (Aug 13, 2009 7:21 pm) Good to hear. I added that trick to the Guide.   Are you going to trust it with any more discs now?

#24 of 29 6 CD changer shows CD error by kasebast Oct 26, 2009 (11:08 am)
My 2002 Escape will not work. When I try to eject I get a CD error. I tried pounding on the dash as recommended by others, but nothing happens. I want to take the radio/cd changer out of the dash but I don't know how to remove it. Please help! Thanks Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 26, 2009 12:16 pm) vg33e power (Oct 26, 2009 2:39 pm)

Replying to: kasebast (Oct 26, 2009 11:08 am) Try Crutchfield or InstallDr. They have generic (and maybe more specific) instructions on how to pull radios and decks out. Links are in the Stuck CD guide.

Replying to: kasebast (Oct 26, 2009 11:08 am) If you are talking about a OEM stock head unit:   You will need a special tool to remove the radio, you can try to make one yourself or if your nice enough to you local radio shop they may pull it out for you or let you use their tool (every stereo place has to have at least three to four sets laying around). The radio has two holes on each side one above the other, the tool is a "U" shaped metal contraption that you insert into both holes at the same time until it "clicks", then you pull outward (left and right) while pulling out towards you and the radio should slide right out. Note: to put it back in just push it in until it "clicks"
#27 of 29 Stuck CD's by korber Nov 02, 2009 (10:21 am)
Boy, sure sounds like a widespread problem! When this happened to me, I didn't bother with pulling the head unit, fuses, etc. (sounds like none of those options really work continuously afterward anyway!) I just took the end of a credit card & pushed down lightly on the CD & they come right out! No hassle, No worries. It still happens on occasion, but mostly it seems if I have a "homemade" CD in with the rest. I just do the card trick & all is well! Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 02, 2009 1:28 pm)

Replying to: korber (Nov 02, 2009 10:21 am) Oooh, nice variation on the "coaster" trick. Consider it added to the guide.
#29 of 29 Ford Escape 2005 Radio Problem by blonde5489 Nov 04, 2009 (5:08 pm)
Purchased used OEM 6 CD AM/FM radio - works great but CD slot will not open; receive error message stating full but nothing is in the CD. Was told there is a reset button but did not notice when installed. Can pull radio out of slot (relatively easy) if I knew where or if it is located on back of radio. Would appreciate suggestions or any experience.
