Same thing happened to my 2001 Ranger. I never fixed mine, as I ended
up resolving the problem by switching to my I-Pod instead of dealing with
the factory CD player.
The I-Pod is plugged in via an adapter to a 12V dashboard lighter
(roughly $100), and it plays through the truck stereo system through a
preselected FM station. I was skeptical about this arrangement at first,
but it's done away with the inconvenience of messing around with CD's in the
cab, and I've never had to worry about the cold of winter affecting CD
player performance.
This may not be the solution for you, but I thought I'd mention it just
in case you are familiar with mp3's and I-Pod units.

Was loading CDs in the 6-CD changer when this error came on. Now it won't
play, change or unload CDs. It gives the CD error code and quits.
Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? How involved is it to pull the
plastic trim and replace the CD changer?

While I'm on it, how big a job is it to replace the factory speakers with
6X9 speakers? Will they fit at all or is 6" round all that will work?
TIA. F
