CD player says Bad Disc

2001 PSD F250 with single disc AM FM. There is no disc in the CD player, but it is constantly giving the "Bad Disc" error. It was like this when I bought the truck, this is just the latest bug I am working on. Has anyone else seen this message and how did you fix it? Thanks, Donna

hey Donna
well it might be a bad loading mechanism , you can remove the unit open it up and check that you dont have disc stuck in it, and nothing is bent out of shape.
what year is your truck?

2001 Truck. I pulled the unit, no disc stuck and everything LOOKS normal, nothing obviously bent or broken or missing.

Check around your local junk yards to see if you can get one there. Or maybe someone on here might have one.
