'94 5spd with factory trunk-mounted changer.

Tryin' to play CD's lately and started gettin' ERROR on the little screen. Sometimes it shows the CD & track # but just skips through tracks, no sound.
I've disconnected the battery a few times, removed and re-inserted the CD magazine but nuthin' helps.

hammer time?

Can you hear it doing anything back there while it is skipping around? My guess is that it's an internal failure in the changer. Either a loss of speed control on the motor that spins the CD, or something in the read head.

You could try a CD cleaning disk to see if it can clean up a problem with the read head. In the past when I have seen Error come up on a CD player it's been when trying CD-R media that it just can't deal with. Thus some sort of read error.
