Answer
Most likely the CD player tray is stuck,in that case the cd part of the ford radio needs to be repair or replace,  look for a repair shop in your are and stay away fromt he ford dealer they want like $700 for that radio  
the other option will be to buy a rebuild radio with warranty 2005 TO 2009 FORD EXPLORER RADIOS ARE THE SAME
