little problems

Hi everyone,
This is my first post as I have just bought my first Scorpio Ultima after owning MK2 & Mk3 Granada's.
I have just a couple of little gremlins, I have the 2007 radio & cd changer fitted, the problem I have is that it won't play any cds and the will not release the cassette in the boot as if there is no power to it, I have check the obvious connections etc is there an in-line fuse anywhere?
Also the heating/ventilation control passenger side is flashing from Lo to 28 all the time, does this mean there is a problem with it somewhere please?
Regards Steve

hi and welcome
did it have or had a battery issue?
that's what the climate control is moaning about.
try resetting it..... http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/acindex.htm
re the cd player. check the wiring carefully. there's a (i think) an earth loop just soldiered in. you'll know what i mean when you see it.
there is also a small hole that you can put a pin in and eject the cd carrier.

Are there CDs in the changer ?.....if so then it could be that one of them has jammed inside the player 
Had this once with a re-writable CD, it went in but wouldn't play & got jammed inside, so I couldn't get the cassette out. Had to remove changer & open it up to remove the CD. It's not done it since & only did it the once, so I'm assuming that the changer doesn't really like re-writable CDs  ......

There were cds in there I had to take the unit out and release the carrier via the pin hole, but still nothing no power to the unit at all.

hi there
iirc, there's a fuse in the changer wiring at the rear of the radio (on the 7000, anyway).

Did you check the wiring as Scorpio Man said in the first reply?. If you have a read of THIS article you will see towards the end of it the problematic earth connection which Andrew was referring to.

Forgive me for being thick but is that the plug which fits into the back of my 2007 radio?
