When you put the tape in and play your songs,then take it out or eject the tape, push in the radio mode, you should the radio , if not check to make sure you got a good antenna connection, sometimes there maybe a delay but hopefully not two minutes, should be more like 5-10 second delay

SOURCE: cd in car player will NOT eject -any ideas ??

The only way to fix your problem is to have a radio repair shop take it apart. You cannot fix this on your own. Remove the radio or get a quote from a repair shop first. If you cannot find a repair shop , talk to the parts guys at you local ford dealer about sending it out for repair.

Check your alternator, complete electronic failure and stalling is associated with the the car's electronic components not receiving power (much of the car is run by computers that depend on that power) a car with a properly functioning alternator and good connections to and from the alternator should not lose power.

I have a cd stuck in the radio & it won't eject it (states no cd), makes a clcking sound. how to fix it?

Usually there is a hole in close to the cd slot, where a pin can be inserted in order to push out a cd manually or a similar manual override.
Which CD player/ radio are you using?

The radio and cd player is locked.i cant play a cd or listen to the radio.it asks for a code

Good Evening, if you purchased the vehicle new you should or will have a card in your owners manual with the code on it, otherwise you will have to pull the radio out and contact your local honda dealer with the serial number off the top of the radio and they will be able to give you the code to make it work. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Joey

My cd will not go into the cd player. It usually just slides in, but now it won't. Then when I give it a little shove, it won't come back out. I had to get a butter knife and a piece of packaging tape and...

My cd player had stopped playing my burnt CD and the dealer ship just replaced it. But then it happend again and I was ridding just listening to the radio for about 3-4months, VERY BAD, until I just took out the fuse for a few minutes and that just reset the radio and spit the cd back out. This may work for you.

The player will not eject the cd but it will not play it either.

I know it sound crazy, but turn the system on, press eject while using a PLASTIC knife to lift the CD in the player. If the system is stock also try disconnecting the radio fuse for about 10 minutes or so with the car off. Reconnect it to see if the radio resets. You'll know the power completely went out because you'll have to reset your stations. By Resetting, hopefully the issue will solve itself. In a few of the system issues I've seen, when the motor won't open the faceplate, or the CD player won't give the CD back. I usually remove the faceplate or disconnect the negative side of the battery for about ten minutes. Try this if the fuse removal doesn't work. Good look. Let me know how it goes. there are other things to try.

2004 freestar can't turn the radio up or down it

I would question your children " if you have any" if they have put anything in the cd slot, I work at a dealership and we find a lot of problems with the van radios are very nice children like to play and put small change into the cd slot, which shorts out the internal components of the radio, if you remove the radio, dash piece just pops off then 4 screws hold radio in, and shake it you should not hear anything rattling around in it.

Radio 80c7e80b will not play, only get static on AM/FM CD Works

your radio is shot, and the cd and tape player still works. You have to buy a new radio if you want to listen to a radio.
