CD Player Problem

[Blackhawk]

I have a 2001 with the in-dash 6-disc player. Here's the problem: radio works fine but the CD player will stop randomly and give me a "CD ERROR" message. By accident I discovered if I cut power to the unit I clear the error message & the CD's play again til they decide to stop. I have no problem buying a new unit but I don't want to buy one if this is a problem with the trucks electrical system & not the CD player. Any ideas ? Thanx

Yeah, I'd try one of those Cd lens cleaner discs, had one work great on an old boombox cd player I had.
