    I bought a new auxiliary battery online and installed it. I reset the driver's side power window. But my CD changer now beeps four times, all the lights turn green and orange, and I cannot play a CD from the changer or eject any of the discs. Both discs currently stuck in it are store bought Third Eye Blind CDs with no stickers, labels, etc.
    I'm assuming that the CD player needs to be reset. Someone in another thread mentioned unplugging the battery for 20 seconds, while someone else said I need to enter a code that I can get from the dealer. Anyone have any idea as to how to fix this? I can go without the changer but the beeping is maddening. Please help with your thoughts!

    I'm not aware of any reset code associated with the CD player. I suggest that you disconnect the 12V battery negative cable where it bolts to the body for a few minutes, then reconnect and see if that helps. Worst case, you'll need to visit a local stereo store for help.

    I'll definitely give that a shot. I just got my car back from the shop after my "reversing the jumper cables" mishap...total bill was $2,400. They replied the Antilock sensor and the ECU...luckily no inverter replacement was needed. I'm calling AAA next time!

    Did the CD player work after that repair? If it did not work when you got the car back, it probably was damaged during the jumpstart episode and will have to be replaced.
