Lincoln CD changer

I'm a caveman who's never had a car with a CD changer before now, so bear with me. The 10 disc changer in my '97 Lincoln Mark VIII (I believe it's a Sony changer mated to the JVC head unit) plays great...until I hit a fair sized bump. Then, rather than skipping (which I would expect and tolerate), the cartridge seems to disengage. I get a "no disc" error on the display.

What's the most likely problem? A bad cartridge? The previous owner had jammed the cartridge in upside-down, which I had a stereo shop correct. Can it be the changer itself, when it seems to do what it's supposed to do (until I hit a big bump, that is)?

I know this may not be the best forum for this problem, but it seems to be the best one for good answers!

Check the Sunday papers for sales at stereo dealerships. Sears prolly has 'em too. You can get a new one, installed, for less than repair costs and it will have better stability and more features. Matter of fact, I'd bet $.75 cents you can get NO parts or repairs for your stereo.

Some years ago. someone stole the cd/radio out of my wifes Honda. The dealership replacement cost was !!!!!!!940.00!!!!!!!!!!

Just for a kick, call your Lincoln dealer and ask for the price on a replacement stereo. Be sitting when you call.
