Compact Disc (CD) Skip

The compact disc (CD) player has a shock absorbing system. Only under extreme operating temperatures or severe shock or vibration will the compact disc player skip or mute. If the customer travels a abnormally rough road, a skip condition may be normal. Test drive the vehicle on a normal road with a known good CD. If the condition is still present, replace the compact disc (CD) player.
