cd player plays with no cd
My 94 Explorer is possessed. The cd player tries to play when there is no cd in it. On a 15 minute trip, it does this roughly 20-30 times. I've tried a cd cleaner, I've tried blowing it out with canned air. Is there a solution other than replacing it????

Is it built into the radio or a changer? My 97 did the same thing, and I have a changer in the center console. I pulled it out, cleaned it, put it back in and it works fine. There was a couple pennys, dimes, nickles inside of it. I have no idea how they got there (7 y/o son), but it works well now. Im not even sure if that was the problem, nor do I think it was, but either way, I used canned air, and it did the job.

Aren't kids wonderful? I had a Radio with a cassette player, the Radio wouldn't come out of cassette mode, and it ejected any cassette. I bought a new unit, as soon as I got the radio out, 3 coins came tumbling out. Luckily I hadn't opened box and was able to take every thing back. PS I had seen the coins in there,but they looked like a couple of gears.

Its got something in there thats the thickness of a Disc that keeps rolling around or a defective, dirty Disc detector, tripping it into the play mode. Since I've never heard of a Disc detector going bad in indicating a Disc is there when one isn't. (When they go bad they indicate NO Disc Detected!!) So I would look into a CD player cleaner or a foreign object in the player.

probably something burned up or crossed in the deck, send it into ford, see if they'll do anything for you, i dont know. or hit a stereo store, usually they have extra factory decks that people have taken out when upgrading, you could get them pretty damn cheap

The problem with the cd assembly is a a small black arm about half a centimetre long that triggers a sensor, pull the cover of the radio bent slightly bend the metal bracket and ur back in business
