just thought I would post an update for anyone having a similar problem. My fix did not last. It is now worse than it was in the past. I'm looking for a shop that repairs the clusterin the Tampa Fl area.

The CD player in my 2005 Sport Trac no longer works. I have been searching for a used replacement. Doe anyone know if it matters what year the unit came out of? I just want to make sure it will fit in my 2005. Mine is a single CD player, but I wouldn't mind installing a 6 CD player if I can find...
