Is this an actual store purchased audio cd? Or something you "burned" at home? That sounds like the same symptoms that I would sometimes get on my OEM cd players after trying to load a "CD-burn gone Bad". Please forgive me for asking... But you are trying different discs?

If that doesn't work then its possible you have an "Eye" that's not looking where its suppose to be. Or potentially dirty.

For...A Last ditch effort you might want to physically unplug the radio for a few mins. Upon "start-up" it should do a quick internal scan and hopefully fix any minor inconsistencies...

Thanks for the reply, Yes I tried different cd,s nothing. I even put a cleaning cd in but no help. Do I have to unplug the player or can I remove a fuse or disconnect the battery.

I often pull the radio to unplug it. I've never tried it any other way to be honest. It works well when it gets hung up in mid-button commands (mashing buttons too quickly)and relieving it of Stuck cds.

If that doesn't work its obviously Dealer time... A well established dealer should have a set of techs on hand that have had some training w/ Ford radios... that way you shouldn't have to worry about sending it out for an "internal" reset of some sort.

p.s....Bethlehem, Ga? Is that the one right outside of the Athens loop? You shouldn't be too far from Atkins Ford/Dodge... those guys seem like they know their stuff..

Good Luck!...
I hope it doesn't turn into spending more than a simple diagnosing fee...(if you need the dealership help)
