95 Mercury Villager. My cd player automatically starts after starting car and indicates there is a cd in the unit and tries to play it. After about 15 seconds, it shuts off, then 20-30 seconds later, it starts again, goes on and off for several minutes and then finally remains off. I took it out of the dash, took it apart to get the cd out, but to my surprise, there isn't a cd in there. Is this a minor problem that just needs some cleaning, is there a place that wold repair this reasonable, or should I just find another cd player. Thanks for your help, Debbie

if its just a factory unit just go to the junk yard and get a match, if not sounds like dirty sensor/laser eye maybe?

I recently replaced a cd changer in my 1996 Mercury Sable LS which
actedas if it had a mind of its own, and upon inspection appeared to
have had a cd shatter at some time, completely fouling the interior
workings of the changer. I ordered a replacement unit from a company
called CDchangersonline.com, and so far have been happy with the
replacement unit, although I could not mount the unit in the original
trunk location. The product, instructions and adapters were all first
rate, and the installation went smoothly. Check them out!

MR SURFER, SHE HAS A SINGLE IN DASH CD PLAYER. BUT I HAVE 97 SABLE WITH A CHANGER IN THE TRUNK AND IT ONLY PLAYS CDS WHEN ITS IN THE MOOD.
