6 Disc Cd Player Faulty

[jocojohn]

Hi,

I have a 1999 1.2 Fiesta fitted with the 6 disc ford radio unit. Recently the 4th disc refused to play, all that could be heard was a whirring sound. It was not possible to eject any discs. I then removed the unit and took off the cover. After removing a few screws I was able to remove the plastic disc holders and extract all the CD s. I then reassembled the unit and tried to play the discs. Now , only disc 1 would play. I then repeated above to remove the discs.

The car is not worth a new CD player. Do anyone know the proper procedure to check, and reassemble the disc holders or have any ideas what could be wrong.

Thanks, John

The carousel is out of alignment.

You could try pushing it down to reset the level but tbh it sounds nackered.

A second hand replacement isn't too bad.

I'm assuming it's like this one?-

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I may try to align the carousel but Im not sure of the procedure you mention.

Just push the carousel down.

Sometimes they will move and sometimes not.
