I changed the battery out and then the 6- Cd Changer stopped working. There are five CD's in there and I can't eject or load and it doesn't register any of them. Is there a fix?
I am not familiar with the 2005 Expedition CD changer, but many of the higher end devices require a code to be entered when the power is disconnected. This helps reduce the theft of car audio equipment since it can not be used again until the correct code is entered. Ford dealership can either enter the code for you or look up the code if you do not have the original manual for the CD changer which should have the code written somewhere in the first couple of pages.

Try unhooking the battery for 5 minutes to reset the stereo

First make sure you have not burned out a fuse, or the changer has not locked itself out. Are you sure the whole system is working at all? Some factory car audio equipment refuses to work after it has lost power, to foil thieves, and wants a code before it will work again. Read your manual and call the Ford dealer and ask about that.
If it is truly dead, you have two choices. Replace the stock unit or upgrade to something really nice (www.crutchfield.com)
The stock audio equipment is not very good and dies young. It's a source of extra profit for the car manufacturer. They install a low-end component with "Ford" written on it, and charge a hefty price for it in a new car. All the car companies do it.
If you go to the dealership and buy a new one, you will spend many $$ to get an equally poor quality replacement, but it will slide right in there with no work at all and you will be back in business.
You can also find a used one from a auto parts recycler, much cheaper than a brand new unit.

I had to take the changer out of the console and get the CD that was hung up. I then replaced everything.
