Update!

**** Update as of *11:27pm* = 100% functional CD6 Ford radio...














**** Update as of *11:09pm* = After getting the second spring back on i notice the first one that was the problem was stretched so I kept Shortening it and redoing the loop till it was now the right length i know the spring tension has changed hope it isnt enough to effect it.... going back outside to see if CD 4-6 works now ****



**** Update as of *10:40pm*= M****** F**** S*** BULLS***...... now both springs fell off.....




**** Update as of *10:30pm*= Looks like a spring got on the wrong side of this bar.. when it got off track trying to get it aligned now.. its a springy little bastart!! ****



***** Update as of *10:20pm*= so I figured out that slot 1 was agar and was off track... I have everything working now but Slots 4-6 say CD error... and idea's? its like the cd wont go in the slot.... ****

Ok went and got a 6 CD ford radio like so off craigslist.. like so:







plugged it in and all it does is keeps cycling the CD player the radio will work..

you can not load a cd. it constantly keeps cycling ( NO ERROR CODES!!!)

any idea's?

prob just got a nice new paper weight eh?

 

sounds like it was it in the shiping mode that i hear people talking about that messes them up

 

my guess is it wasnt put in shipping mode then banged around some...

 

mmm might have a paper weight then? try takeing it apart see if anything is stuck

 

thats the next plan if i dont hear anything on here.. i didnt pay much for it so not pissed and it has a really nice front after cleaning it up incase i find a working one with a ****ty front

 

I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM....












there isnt a Gnome in it....















No really i have no freaking clue whats wrong with it...

 

LOL i see you talkin to me on AIM!!!

DO WORK!!!!!!

 

It's f*cked. I had the same thing happen to me. I now use that radio as a paper weight.

 

re-read

 

how much are those 6 discs going for?

 

usually $50-$250...

 

For real... i might be putting mine in the classifieds then.. its mint 6 disc and mp3 compatible

 

I wish i could get some hands on with that thing. im usually good with this kind of stuff.

maybe put it in shipping mode then back out? maybe that will do something?

 

nope i figured out what is wrong i have a stretched spring at the moment i am fighting with..
