Hi, I have a 02 Eddie Bauer Explorer with a 6 disc changer. the radio works fine, but once in a while the cd player jams up, and I got to the point where I didn't load any cds but only one or two in the player. sometimes, like others said, hit the dash, and it worked a few times. sometimes taking the cd player out and unplugging everything then plugging it back in resets it and it works perfect. but its acting up again, and i think this time its shot. the radio works perfect, but when I hit cd on the radio, or on the steering wheel button, it just says CD ERROR. any suggestions? thanks.
