CD Changer "No CD" Fix
I've got the JBL 10 disc CD changer in the trunk. It started having problems changing CD's and would default to the radio and the readout would say "NO CD". It was random which number CD would cause this. I would take out the cartrige and replace it and it would be OK. Now it woun't play at all and removing and replacing the cartrige does no good. Does anyone have suggestions?
Some have said that removing the ground cable for 5 minutes and reinstalling it fixes the problem. The bad part, IMO, is that it causes the engine computer to go through it's "self-tuning" calibration again for awhile.
I just fixed mine today by unplugging the CD changer itself for about 10 minutes while I changed a brake/turn lamp. Almost forgot to plug it back in as I was buttoning-up the area.
Plugged back in, I tested it with bated breath (not "baited breath", like I ate some bad shark chum or something) from the cabin and BLAM! I was listening to music I hadn't heard for almost a year! Cycled through all the CDs and many tracks on each, and I'm now a happy camper.
It worked. Wish I'd done this simple thing before the 2600+ mile jaunt to and around northern California last month.
