95 4Runner CD player

Nov 27, 2005 2 Replies

Has anyone had any luck keeping their CD player working? The player in my '95 4Runner is flat refusing to play CD's. Is there any adjustment or cleaning that can be done to get it working? I'm not above tearing it apart.


I was having the same problem with the CD player in my 2000 Tundra.. I used one of the lens cleaning CDs and found tiny pieces of paper from a CD label on the brushes. It worked fine after removing the rest of the pieces from inside the CD player. After this experience a I use a marking pen instead of labels. It might not look as nice but it's safer.

After about 2 more years it went dead and I replaced it with an AM/FM CD player that also plays MP3s. Much better for long trips as one mp3/CD will hold 2-4 books.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried the cd cleaner and it didn't help. I was wondering if there were an adjustment that might bring it back. The Sony PS2 had the same problem where it would play some but not all cd's. That problem was resolved by tweaking an internal adjustment.
