CD player wont work/memory seat problems.
Hey everyone.
Just when I begin to brag about how trouble-free my 08 Expy EL EB has been the last 14 months, two small problems recently surface.
First, the CD player stopped unloading/loading CD's. I touch the "CD" button and get "NO DISC" when I know darn well there is. When I attempt to eject, or insert a CD I get a "DISK LOAD ERROR" display.
It's the same radio I had in my '06 Five Hundred SEL, that had the exact same problem.
The second concern is the memory seat only adjusts to the "1" setting (the wifes), but when I hit "2" for myself, the seat moves back about an inch, and that's it.
I'm going to take it in this week to get it looked at. Anyone else expierience these issues?

I can't recall how the memory works with two different keys. I want to say each key will retain the memory settings of the 1 position. So you setting it with your key may not work.
If the truck is under warranty get the cd unit swapped out. You can try disconnecting your battery for a couple of minutes, then try to eject your discs. If that doesn't help, you would have to take the unit apart to remove the cd's. If the truck is out of warranty, there are many used OEM radios on ebay for around $100 and they are easy to remove/install.

Texasman, my 2008 has done the exact same thing a few times, loses seat memory and cd player "shuffles" for no apparent reason. Prob is it never does it when the truck's in the shop so dealership doesn't have a fix. Let us know if you find the root problem.
Also, and probably related, my abs sometimes activates for no reason and the traction control has activated in dry (no slip) conditions. I have a suspicion that the electrical module is the culprit.

My stereo did the shufflling thing this morning when I opened my door. Also, both driver seat memory settings were gone.
