Audio Systems: CD wont load, lincoln town car, fm stereo radio


Question
I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car with the factory installed JBL AM/FM stereo radio, Cassette player, and a 10 disc CD changer in the trunk. The problem is the CD magazine doesn't seem to be loading properly when it is inserted, and I get a "No CD" message on the dash. It was intermittent for a while, and now it won't work at all. The rest of the system works perfectly. Thanks

Answer
Hello Steve,
I have found on many of these CD changers that a small sensor will fail and this prevents a CD to be loaded into the play position. I also find defective solder connections on the control board inside the CD changer.
