my radio works fine , but i cant get the cd changer to work , or even to open to put in cds , by pressing the orange button when u press cd on the radio it say no cd detected , dose this mean no cd or dose it mean the changer is not wired up ?

Hi if you have no power at the autochanger you probably have the earth problem.
Have a look at this http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/faultfinds.htm under interior concerns.
Good luck
Geoff

If you read the post which Geoff put up it tells you that you need to check the wiring a short way from the plug into the CD player. This may mean you have to remove some of the outer wrapping in order to check the internal wiring. There have been problems with a 'duff' joint in this location which is why it talks about re-soldering the connection if this has occured.

When you fit the battery cover make sure that the drain holes at the front of the battery shelf are free from leaves etc as they allow any water to drain away into the engine bay. If they are blocked the fuse box by the battery gets wet and that is NOT good news.

If you have the 7000 series radio - there is a fuse behind the radio - may be worth checking to see if it's blown.
The bad earth should not stop power getting to the CD changer, but will stop the remote stalk from working!

It's behind the radio - worth checking the cable while you are there!
If you do pull the radio out, ensure you have the code, if not jot down the serial number and we can let you know the code

Hi Sally,
No Haynes - thats why this site was born! 
The radio hand books are on the main site.
You could test the lead to see if any power is getting there to save taking the radio out - but you will need a multimeter and remove the plastic shroud to get to the plug in the changer
If the stalk works for the radio it may mean the cd cable is at fault or the changer itself!
Its a case of elimination - which end of the cable do you want to start at  Can you get to any meets - I'm sure someone will be able to help!
If you do need the radio code - PM me the serial number
Dave

Sounds like the changer is faulty then - easiest way would be to swop it with a known good one.
There is a know problem with whats know as cold joints on the circuit board - this can sometime be rectified by re-heating the joints with a soldering iron.
I played this game for about a year until I gave up and bought another second hand one - may be the easiest option for you!

They are different, you need the 24v radiator which is unique to the 24v.
Did you try Bill at Powercraft Engineering yet??
