s.d.unger Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 My 2007 mustang is a v6 coup with the Pony Package, nothing special, fun to drive anytime. My question is this, what caused the CD player to act as if the disks were loaded when I start the car. There seems to be no pattern to this, some days the CD is playing the same song as it was when I parked it for the night, some days the Radio is playing and I can hear the CD player counting the disks. The same 6 disks are in the player for days at a time. Any Ideas? I've attached a picture of the car after its first bath back in November 2006.

Wish I had an answer for you, I think mine did that once or twice, too. Not sure, though, as I only used the CD player for a few days. I'm pretty much 100% a ipod user. Talk radio in the mornings, the ipod the rest of the time. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcain Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Mine did when the Battery was weak. Ford replaced the batter and not a problem since, you may want to take it in and have the battery tested. Before you say "But it starts just fine" Mine did too but what happens is there is such a current draw that the radio has to reprogram it self all over, you may keep the same radio station presets but the CD player will do a check because of the lower power. Ford had a major problem with battery's in late mid to late 06 and many of them for reason have a dead cell or two. Mine has not done it since ford replaced the battery, I'd be willing to bet that is your problem. Plan a battery test at your dealership, just make sure you tell them that you have to jump it to start it after it sits for a couple of days and they should be happy to check it. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing, now, based on the '01 Cobra 6-disk... if you turn off the ignition while a song is playing it picks up in the same spot when you restart. Not sure what it does if it's between disks and you shut it off ...maybe that's the shufling --dunno. I think there should be instructions on the CD player in the owners manual or in a separate guide in with the owners manual, if you haven't checked that. Good luck with her!! -Dan <edit:> see post above -- I didn't :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was common with cars that had weak or near-dead batteries on our lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilkilla Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 ditto. This was common with cars that had weak or near-dead batteries on our lot. this sounds right, as my shaker 500 doesn't do as you describe, but I have seen it happen with others on our lot.

In fact, these symptoms are common to all vehicles that use the 6-disc changer including trucks, so it's not limited to Mustangs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
