Lexus RX 330 2005, CD player won't load.

The problem may be related to each other. It could be the motor/solenoid that controls the elevator that may have gone bad. Error 4 is a product of the issue. Check for burnt parts like resistors or swollen or leaking parts on the board.

Error 3: Mechanical Malfunction (Replace CD player.)

Error 4: CD Player Overcurrent (Allow CD player to cool and try again.)

• I have see so much of this problem from these players. When you get so many errors for this CD player/changer the unit is done. Dealers stock these by the hundreds to warranty out. Poor quality and poor quality control.

• Some people, very few, have had success with removing the radio and removing the connectors for a few minutes and then reconnecting. This may reset the radio and while on occasion this has worked it is a rarity as the problem is due to component defects deep inside the unit.

• Those that opted to send the radio that were not covered by a warranty often payed $300 - $400usd for the repair. The messed up thing is that despite thousands of these needing replaced they were never recalled and they should have been.

1. Your choices are to have it replaced under warranty if still under warranty.
2. Pay the dealership to install a new one for you.
3. Send the one you have into Ford.
4. Buy an aftermarket CD player/changer

Something inside the cd player has broken and can most likely be sent off for repair but I don't know how much that would cost, but a new one can range anywhere from $500-$1,000.
