CD Changer problem

I have a ’00 with a 6 disk changer in the center console and I am getting an error msg on the radio stating the magazine is empty. Obviously I have CD’s in the magazine, any ideas on what could be wrong? I could pull the changer out, but who would work on it and any ideas on what kind of labor I would be looking at? If the labor to fix it is way out of line is there another option? Like an in dash changer from a newer model? I would like to keep the look stock, thus no aftermarket if possible. Thanks for any help.

Try running a cleaner disc or unplug the unit sometimes a reset helps but be sure you dont have security coded radio not sure if ford has that but I have dealt these issues in the past on toyotas.What is the product #?post it if you can find it!appreciate ya!

I am having the same problem with a 98. A cd clearner does not help out. I will try unplugging it next to reset it then cleaning it, but it does not recognize any discs, even the cleaner...

we just had this problem and I was about to order a new cd player.

My son took the whole unit out and disassembled it. I think two cd's were jambed or got jambed into one slot.

all seems to be fine now.
