2000 Chrysler 300M CD player on strike

Unless it is inside the engine it is most likely your harmonic balancer the big pulley on the front of the engine just replaced mine and my ticking noise went away

Have the purge system tested, and the regulator diaphragm looked at. also the lines, especially the quick disconnect lines up near the engine. You smell gas, but as the engine heats up, the gasoline evaporates and you don't see where it is coming from. This is dangerous in any case, not to mention smelly. The regulator is located in back of the engine (on top) near the throttle body. (just underneath it).
Start the car and let it run for a couple of minutes. Stop the car, and using a flashlight and a good retractable mechanic's mirror, take a look for wetness.
if the regulator (a small, flat inch and a half disk attached to the fuel line) is wet. have it replaced right away. The purge system canister can usually be tested by a good mechanic with the right equipment. You and I usually cannot do this ourselves.

Chrysler numbers like GM. #1 is front right as you look at it from the front the engine. Number 4 would be the middle left bank as you look from the front of the engine (called the right bank in the literature).

I would return to the store where you bought the CD player, they should have an adapter to integrate your CD changer.

I have a 2004 Chrysler 300M that makes the ticking noise when first started . . . if you turn the heater control to completely off the noise stops . . .leave it off for about 3 to 5 minutes and then turn it on and it will be gone. . . my chrysler dealer repair service manager can't understand it and didn't believe me when I told him. They tried to tell me it was my motor mounts. My 18 year old daughter figured it out. go figure!!!

Hope helped (remember rated this help).

Had same problem wit my 4 disk. A CD was jammed. Remove and open the unit up and remove the CD. The mechinizem might be jammed also. Try this before replacing. Seems like a common issue with these units. The newer 300Ms came with 6 disk changers.. not sure if these will work with the existing radio.

Good luck!

that means the cd needs to be serviced the re is no reset procedure ERR means th eunit has failed and needs service

how about if you disconnect the battery for 10 sec and reconnet. if no fix look for blown fuse under the hood look also near the steering column for more fuses

all the lights on my cd player bink and it let play or let me put a cd in to play
