1st try to hit the eject button multiple times in a row. If this doesn't work you have 3 options.
1= pull the radio unit, disassemble case, gingerly remove CD, and reassemble.
2=Go to dealer or repair shop and have them remove. If you have a warranty left, mopar should be able to help. Factory radios have been a problem with Mopar for years.
3= Go buy a new CD and forget about it

sort in the wiring or just a **** radio

Most cars have interior light fuses under the dash on the drivers left side. Hope this helps.

Ah oh..white smoke is water in the cylinder and cap blowing off is compressed air in the crank case..sounds like you have a blown head gasket or intake or both...have your radiator and block pressure tested..if gasket is leaking it will fail to hold pressure.. Check your oil for water sometimes a bad intake gasket will let water in the oil.good luck..

According to a stereo place here on long island, who checked out our 2004 Durango after we needed to disconnect the battery, the system has to be reset to recognize that the car has a cd player. The technician said something about the DB unit...... we have an appointment to get this fixed, will update after it is done. Supposedly, this shop has this unit that resets the stereo, which is only available to Dodge dealers.....keep your fingers crossed. But the gist of it is, is that the computer is set for a standard AM/FM stereo, and has to be programmed to know that the vehicle is equipt with a cd unit also.

Most people purchase the can and valve w/o a gauge. This prevents them from providing the proper charge. Spend the extra $$ and get one with a gauge - it is reusable. You must connect to the low a.k.a. suction side of the system and fill to spec with the R134a container upright to allow GAS to enter the system. Inverting the R134a container will provide a liquid to the compressor - which it can not compress. Supply a liquid to a compressor can cause it to fail. Fill as per instructions.

Check the fuse box cover for the related fuse. it has probably blown

most common is coolant has saturated the plug wires and misfiring at start up causes spark plugs to arc to a ground

There isn't one. Most likely the lift gate latch, if all the other doors lock and unlock. Cold also be the BCM. I have bypassed a few of them.

Hi Mark Sounds like you are doing all the right things. We used to Load Test a Starter Motor by putting it in a Large Vice and connecting a known good battery with solid fat jumper leads. When the solenoid throws the cog forward to engage we would use a 2 by 4 block of wood levered against the cog to try and stop the starter from spinning. The wood burns up under load but it quickly proves the Starter is functioning under load. Without using the engine. Also you could try removing the spark plugs on the engine to allow the compression to escape. Make sure NO sparks around to ignite any fuel vapor. The engine should spin over easily like this and you can hear & see if anything is binding up. Hope this Helps! Good luck!

Basic testing needed. Spark at the plugs? Fuel pressure correct?

Check the ground to each one.

Durangos are known for crank sensors to go bad. Make sure that your battery is fully charged so you know that isn't an issue. If you don't have the proper equipment, try this.. Your going to need someone else's help for this. Pull one of the spark plug wires, using a screwdriver, put the tip of the screwdriver into the wire and hold the shaft of the screwdriver about a quarter inch away from a good ground source. Have your assistant turn the key and crank the engine while you check to see if you have spark. If you can, visit your local parts store and ask for a noid light that will fit your vehicle. It's usually about $10-$12. The purpose of the noid light is to check for injector pulse. Disconnect the plug for the injector and connect the noid light in it's place. Once again, crank the engine and check to see if the noid light lights up and pulses. If the crank sensor is bad, you should have no spark and no injector pulse. Replace crank sensor if so. If you have spark, check for fuel and or fuel pressure. Listen for the fuel pump to energize when the key is turned. Also try spraying starting fluid into the throttle body. If it starts, your having fuel issues. I hope these tips help. Good luck.

If you know for sure the thermostat is working, it could be low on coolant and has air pockets in the system. Only one radiator hose should be warm until the engine reaches normal temp, and both heater hoses should be very warm.
