I had this problem...ignored it for a year then decided to have it fixed. No-one could fix it where I lived so before I went out and bought a replacement, I removed the top panel on the player (the one over the cd stacker) and had a look myself. There were 2 round discs loose in the player that I guessed were supposed to be attached to the 'arm' that takes the cd and spins it to make it play. I put them back on the 'pin' on the arm - the white disc first then the silver and black one on top and its playing again. I dont know how long for...it does tend to skip sometimes though. Better than nothing at all - and at least now I have a radio too. I'm just a girl who guessed were the parts went however....but maybe the parts inside have atendency to get loose and fall off? Good Luck.

Open the fuse box (to the lower right of the steering wheel), and remove the appropriate fuses for the radio. The fuse diagram is in the manual for the car. When you put it back in it should ask for the security code again. Enter and it will start working again.

Red load light "on" 6-CD stacker AU Fairmont. Ford says it means the system is stuffed and needs replacing. This is what I did. Disconnect the battery and reconnect it. The load light went and the screen returned. I punched in my code and it was fine. I started to eject the CD's and they got jammed. Through trial and error I found that by inserting a plastic card, about a quarter thickness of a credit card, into the CD slot it was easy to prompt the other CD's out. Now, everything is working fine.

'03 Honda Accord 6 disk changer won't load/eject

i had the very same problem with a six stacker in my ford, the stacker inside has come of its tracks even by one or two teeth so when the cd tries to eject it jams on the side walls because of this alignment, only way to fix is to take it out and realign. may need to get a mechanic or your dealer to do it like i did as the computer system was attached to my cd player. not sure about the accord but this is a familiar problem with all sorts of 6 and 10 stacker cd players

How do i remove the 6 stacker cd player out of my au fairmont. cd's are jammed and i want to get them out. radio goes on and then goes off cos it try's to play the cd. cd's can not eject.

Have you removed the "trim panel" that surrounds the stereo? If not, do so 1st, then there "should" be 4 screws that hold the stereo in place, remove those 4 screws then pull the stereo forward (towards you), next disconnect the "bulk wire harness" connected @ the rear of the stereo along w/ the "antenna" cable and you should be home free from there. let me know if this helps.

Tivoli Audio Music System: CD wont eject

We've had the Tivoli Music System for 3 years. A CD became stuck in the player when I pressed the EJECT button before turning the player on. We tried turning it off and back on, unplugging it for a minute, removing the batteries and unplugging, etc. Nothing worked. I finally turned the player upside down in my lap, then turned on the CD player, and it said LOADING! Progress!!! I turned it right-side up and hit EJECT, and it worked like new. The CD loading mechanism had become bound up and simply needed a different "attitude" adjustment. Don't give up too early in attempting to fix these players on your own.

Press and HOLD eject button insert credit card or similar under cartridge.Push firmly in and move left to right untill it ejects,this will locate micro switch.
The fuse is located on the back of the stacker,this is ok because your head unit recognizes stacker.

I have a Ford AU Fairmont fitted with a Ford Radio/6 CD disc player.The radio works well but the disc player will not load or unload and there is no indication as to what discs are loaded.This action took...

more than likely something got stuck or broken ..
You will need to open it up and see if there is anything you can notice that may be causing the problem. more than likely the loder. if you think you can move it back into place or frmove the jammed components then by all means do. if not take it to an electronic technician.

Ford AU11 Fairmont CD Player / Radio

You need some special tools which slot in to the holes at the sides of the stereo, they release some clips and the unit slides out. Then you can take the cover off the unit and remove the jammed CD. These units are notorious for failure, especially the six disc stackers, and are probably not worth repairing, can be more expensive to repair than fitting a decent aftermarket cd player. Most audio installers or your local Ford dealer will have the tools to remove the unit, and if you just want the radio, you could remove the jammed cd and refit the stereo and just not use the cd player. You'll need to get the radio code from a Ford dealer to get the stereo going again if you disconnect and reconnect it. They may need the serial number off the unit to give that to you, and you may need to prove ownership of the vehicle.
