my dad has a 2003 f150 fx4 with about 90k miles on it and he said his cd player skips ONLY when hes driving but when he sits in the garage it plays fine

i have a 2002 f150 with the same cd player and i thought about swaping him since i have a aftermarket cd player...

anyone else had this problem or solved this problem

 

nobody

 

Have you tried using a lens cleaner? I use one regularly with my DVD headunit. If it still skips after using one, then it might be a weak solenoid in the lens aperature (sp?) which would require replacement, those are a pain to try and get repaired. You shouldn't have a problem swapping since your trucks are the same generation.

 

yea weve tried everything, except taking it apart lol guess ill just swap them out thanks for the help

 

I actually had to take one apart and physically clean the lens with a q-tip and alcohol. Works perfectly now, but prior to the cleaning, wouldn't even take a disc laser lens cleaner. It was a last resort, and it worked out great.
