Have you tried disconnecting the battery again? That happens to me also. I disconnect and reconnect my battery and it works again. Sometimes takes a couple of times.

Reload (remove and then reinstall) the cd magazine into the changer.

When I had my problem, disconnecting the harness would not do it. Only unplugging the battery itself.

Mine does the same thing sometimes after I've had the magazine out and did it when I replaced my battery. Just eject the magazine and reload it. Sometimes you have to do it a couple of times. I would have thought they would have used a better unit, personally. It's VERY touchy about CD's as well!!
