Stock CD Changer Q

My '03's 4 Disc Changer is on the fritz!

It plays discs fine. BUT! when I want to change to the next disc it hums for a moment then I get a 'ERR' on the display.

I took it out and opened it up to see what the deal was. I didnt see any damage. I did think maybe it needed to be lubed? I also tried to see the action take place while it was open. Well it obviously has a sensor to tell that its open; cause it didnt work!

Anyone ever have experience with this issue?

some units have security features on them, for when they get stolen. they tend to not wanna work, its a deterent for homo's that try to steal crap from ya. but ya even if its your own car.... its a pain, id definately have dodge or chrysler take a look at it.

Well its very doubtful that is the issue.

See it works still. It plays discs fine. It just wont switch discs. Like I said in the orginal post.

But thanks.

mine had a problem like that...It would play the cd I was on but when I wanted to change cds it would make a sound like it was thinking about it...I finally had to just get mine replaced under warranty by the dealership...I am now on the 2nd cd changer and everything works fine now...

Too bad im out of my warranty.

It seems I'll either have to buy one or see if I can fiddle with it some more.

My changer did that when I very first bought it off ebay. I had to take it to the local car audio place, where they took it apart and cleaned it. The said they didn't fix anything that they knew off, but when I put it back in, it worked fine, and has ever since. Might want to just look into taking it somewhere you trust and seeing what they say.
