CD Player

The Cd player in my 99 stopped working. I replaced the cartridge with no luck. How hard is it to take the unit out? Does anyone know of anyone who repairs these units. I live in Florida between Ocala and Orlando. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking the in dash head unit or the changer in the trunk? You mention cartridge which makes me wonder.

I am talking about the unit in the trunk. It sounds like it wants to load the CD's but doesn't. It goes through 3 or 4 and then I get an error message.

I took it out of the car, found a CD stuck inside, but still does not work. The CD symbol on the radio keeps flashing.

This may be completely stupid on my part so excuse if it is. Make sure the discs are loaded face down in the magazine. Not what I would think and don't ask how I know this.

There is a little lever inside that sometimes gets disconnected when you take the stuck disk out. if you take the case off you will see it just laying there not connected to anything. I don't have any pic as mine is back in the car. It is pretty obvious where it need to go but it is a pita to put back on. Mine has been working for 3 or 4 months much to my surprise. You have nothing to lose by taking a look.
