The radio in my 2004 SportTrac has power, will not play but will eject CDs and show a clock display momentarily. The same time this went out the electric mirrors and rear window stopped working. I have checked all fuses and had the radio checked.....any help guys?? :0) I really need some tunes!

There can be up to three separate power lines to the radio - ignition, dash light and auxiliary (always on). Check the ignition power wire for good connection and possible blown fuse.

will it play? you may have blown an internal fuse in cd player,

If your radio works and you press mode .Does head unit recognize cd,s
It should display no cd,s cd error etc
The reason i ask this is to confirm that connection is ok to stacker
To eject PRESS AND HOLD eject button,insert credit card under cartridge,push fully in and move left/right untill eject
This will locate micro switch,so you can check discs

INTERNAL FAILURE,, NEEDS RADIO REPAIR,, CK COST MAYBE CHEAPER TO GO AFTERMARKET OR EBAY

I have seen this often..assuming there isn't a CD jambed in it....usually means you have to send it out for repair...its most of the time an internal problem.....you can try first is disconnect the plug at the back and reinstall them and turn it back on...If it still shows ERROR....replace the radio... If its a stuck CD...FORD radios DO NOT LIKE homemade CDs, they are to thick, and labels hang it up...If this is the problem use a "needle nose pliers" and extract it the best you can AND DON'T USE COPIED CD's....hope this helps you..GL

I had same problem with a 2005 Envoy in Jan '09. I took it to the ex-GM dealer. He said he'd try. The unit would only play using radio.
Mechanic took unit out of dash, and top off of unit. Ejected CD bu moving the eject mechanism. Replaced top and unit.
Works and plays cds. Cost $25.00 And i tipped the mechanic $10.00 for his knowledge.

there are only couple options. pull radio and send to shop for repair, purchase used radio from good junk yard. or call dealer and see if there is a warranty on it. even though its 6 yrs old they may help. what they do at the dealer is an exchange

cavlier have a lock code on there radio's take it to a local chevy dealer and they give u the unlock code
