How to Clean the CD Player in a Dodge RAM

Like any other CD drive, the CD player in your Dodge RAM can become dusty and cause your music to skip. However, because a tray does not slide out of your truck's player like it does on a computer's CD drive, you cannot use cleaning supplies such as CD cleaner disks or wipes. Instead, you are left with only one option for cleaning the CD player in a Dodge Ram: compressed air.

Things You'll Need

• Compressed air duster with extension tube

Instructions

1. Attach an extension tube to the tip of the compressed air can. The extension tube allows you to spray and aim your compressed air into the CD player.

2. Insert the extension tube into the CD player and press the air release button. Thoroughly spray the inside of the player, focusing primarily in the middle of the player.

3. Let the CD player dry out before inserting any CDs, in case the compressed air duster left any liquid in the player.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid inserting cleaning CDs into the Dodge RAM CD player. Cleaning disks have bristles on the bottom. Because the player does not have a movable tray, the bristles can push the disk off track and cause the disk to catch and stick on the player.
