6 disc in dash cd player doesn't work
Just bought a '02 Excursion and the cd player doesn't work. Is this a common problem and is there anything short of full replacement that I can try?

Prostock - sounds to me like the optical pick up may be out of alignment and/or in need of a professional cleaning. The unit is not able to read the TOC (Table Of Contents) on the disc and sees no usable information. Check with a local electronic repair shop and see if they are able to clean/align the unit. Its $40 well spent if they are able to diagnose/fix the problem.
On a side note - Most aftermarket radios are NOT far superior to OEM in any way other than offering more bells and whistles. Performance/reliabilty wise a FACTORY deck is often better than the everage $149 'big box' special.
