ISSUE: An inoperative radio and compact disc player may be caused if a "lock-up" condition occurs when operating the radio in the compact disc mode. When this happens, the C.D. Player will not function and it locks the radio in the "C.D. Mode".

ACTION: Use the following service procedure to determine if the compact disc player requires service.

1. Check to see if the radio is "locked up". Make sure the "lock-up" is not due to other factors such as a poor electrical ground or blown fuse.

2. Remove the compact disc player. Refer to the 1989 Thunderbird/Cougar Shop Manual, Page 35-01-7 or the 1989 Continental Car Shop Manual, Page 35-01-8 for removal procedures.


3. Return the C.D. Player to the nearest authorized Ford Repair Station for repair. Refer to Audio Service Bulletin # EX89-6 for details.
