unusual CD problem
This was rather odd: I have had my 2007 Mustang GT since new, with a shaker 500 6 CD changer. After ejecting a CD, the changer just kept whirring and eventually would give an error message of no cd, bad cd, ejection failure...then would give up and go back to the radio. Now the odd part: with engine off and key out: when I shut the door, the cd changer would start up for a few seconds and stop, when I opened the door, the CD chager would whir, then stop; when I activated the alarm, the cd chager would whir then stop....this hapened all day, then after getting home, I noticed that the screen did NOT light up when I shut the door, so voila..it's working again....
Ideas?
Thanks!

Gotta love burned CDs being left in the car stereos when they get traded in.

Haha, only benefit that I've gotten out of having a 6 CD unit is that I learned the previous owner of my car was possibly Italian and possibly a DJ if you get what I'm saying. Or he just likes to jam to that kind of stuff...who knows?

There is a tiny worm gear that does the whole job of moving the cd's around.
Commercial CD's are thicker than burned ones, the thin burned cd's get double loaded into a slot then strip out that worm gear, once the gear goes the CD player is garbage.
I pulled my radio and removed the CD portion then installed a setup to hook my Ipod up to the stock radio. Works great and no CD's to **** with!
