The issues you are experiencing with your 2003 Mercedes E320's CD changer can be indicative of a mechanical or electronic problem. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the CD changer:
Reset the system: Try resetting the CD changer system by disconnecting the vehicle's battery for about 10-15 minutes. This can help reset the electronics and potentially resolve any software glitches.
Check for stuck CDs: It's possible that there may be a CD stuck in the changer, preventing it from properly functioning. Use a flashlight and visually inspect the CD slot for any visible obstructions. If you can see a stuck CD, try gently prying it out using tweezers or a thin, flat tool. Be careful not to damage the CD or the mechanism.
Clean the CD changer: Dust and debris can sometimes cause issues with CD changers. Use a CD lens cleaning kit to clean the lens of the CD changer. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning kit to ensure proper use.
Check the CD changer fuse: Verify if there is a dedicated fuse for the CD changer in your vehicle's fuse box. Refer to your vehicle's manual for the location of the fuse and check if it is blown. Replace the fuse if necessary.
