2001 nissan pathfinder cd player shows ERR.........doesn't work!

On my 2002 xterra 6 Disk player.
It locked up on me.

I was able to fix it with key in the off position. I pulled the Radio fuse and put in back in.
The fuses are located under the hood on the left side right behind the battery.

Then I turned on the key and the radio. The CD began working just fine.

Drop down face plate, there should be a little tiny hole that you can stick a paper clip in to eject the cd.

This is classic failure (like a number of Nissan problems) that is due to a poorly designed take up screw (whatever that is, right?) design in the 6 CD mechanism of these (Clarion) changers. There are a number of stereos around this year (Infiniti too since they are made by Nissan) that have the same issue for the same reason.

After researching this, I located the needed parts and repaired my unit (not for the faint of heart, this is somewhat akin to cuckoo clock repair, a very complicated electro-mechanical device). I am an electrical engineer by trade with over 35 years of experience of working on electronics.

In any case (and here is the bottom line), I would be happy to repair anyones ailing changer ("err2" with clicking/chugging) for $100 plus $10 return shipping to the lower 48. Contact me at rentwist ( at ) comcast.net if interested.
