Error Establishing Cd Audio Connection
Pulled into garage at work thursday and turned the car off while listening to the end of a song on the 6-disk changer, when i hear "crack" sound and then the music stopped and "Error Establishing Cd Audio Connection" is displayed
. opened the panel to the changer and no lights and could not eject CDs.
So today i decided to try and fix
. First removed fuse #6 in trunk, but to no avail, next tried the fuses in the side of the dash driver's side. there is one for the gateway and the cd-changer. Removed both for a minute or 2 then re-installed, i immediately heard the changer start to cycle through its check for CDs and the lights were on, and it works!!
.
So if you are experiencing this you may want to give this a try......

yep audio 50 try pulling the fuse i reference above. Every once in a while i still get that "static" sound for a few minutes, but turning the radio off for a minute or so fixes it, and it never does when the car is in for service....
