02 Ranger cd changer

hello I need some help. I recently bought a 02 ranger great shape and looks great as well. one problem I cannot get the cd changer to open so I can load cds. every time I try to hold the load button it says CD error or no disc and there is nothing in it. I read the manual but no help from that. I am hoping that someone knows how to get this open or is there a reset button I can reset and try that? Please let me know.
Thanks

Sounds like you have a bad drive and the radio is scrap. I can sell you my one disc AM/FM/CD/satellite ready radio from my 08' Ranger, if interested.

Did a search and some indicate temporarily disconnecting power to unit ,waiting and reconnecting it resets it and the changer functions again. Might try disconnecting fuse for radio/cd or disconnect battery temporarily.

Will the harness from an 08 even match up to an 02 Ranger harness?

I did all other way, I got radio with tape player, removed player and desoldered tape player amplifier chip. I soldered in 3.5 mm connector and jumped casset presence switch, so now when I press tape button radio works like amplifier with linear input, so I use my I-pad to liten music
