E-99 Error?

[Acidbath]

Ok well I'm just checkin on what other little things I need to fart around with and I get a damn E-99 from my changer's controls when I push play. Am I lucky enough to take my changer apart now? 99 a mechanical issue? Something now working right or binding up? Are there things to possibly clean and lube in there? Can't find any info in the book, or on here even. The only 99 code came from someone with a stuck cd in there. My magazine comes out just fine, I even filled up all 10 just for kicks but nothing seems to work, connector looks ok too.

Just to show you guys what I've done so far on the motor. Haven't been on the forums here in a while.


I started with this...

Well, first off make sure that the CDs are all inserted correctly, and you don't have one with the label side up (depends on orientation of the changer, I guess). If that is not the case, look for a reset button on the changer. If you can find one, press it and see if that remedies the concern. BTW, your factory radio is made by Sony, so the codes for the Sony's are the same as what you are experiencing. Unfortunately, a code E-99 is not very descriptive from Sony.

You could also take the changer apart and spray out the spindle motor with electrical parts cleaner, then carefully clean the laser lens. This may solve the E-99 code. Afterall, what have you got to lose by trying!?!

Lol.. the story of this entire car. Can't brake it if its already broke. Going well so far.. just some funny noise.. you can hear it in the third clip best. Kind of a whiny noise.. just wondering if its a bearing in the alternator maybe? It did sit for 2 years in Indiana weather.
