RE: CD player lights flashing
When you touch the battery cables together, make sure that they are not connected to the battery. Totally disconnecting the system from the battery causes a "reset". You need to touch the cables together to discharge any residual voltage in the system. There is a capability of retaining some electricity in the system for a short period of time after disconnecting the battery to allow for the possibility of air bag deployment during a wreck even if the battery is taken out.
You can accomplish the same thing for the radio by pulling the IOD (Ignition Off Draw) fuse. In the fuse panel under the shield at the left end of the instrument panel (visible with the car door open), you will see one fuse with some big "ears" on it. It can be easily pulled without a puller. That's what the ears are for. This fuse controls the circuits in the car that work without a key in the ignition, the door locks, interior lights and the radio (clock). Pop that fuse for a minute and put it back in. The lights in the radio will stop flashing when you pull the fuse. Like Tech says, if the problem resumes after this, you will probably need to replace the radio. Replacement radios appear on eBay every once in a while, keep your eye peeled.

You probably have, but consult the manual for the radio to see if the "flashing" means something. (like CD stuck in drive, or something like that.)
If it is irregular flashing look for poor contacts in harness or switches.

Fuse location?
I found the answer below useful, however I can't locate the fuse, is it the group of wires I can see behind my glove box? I have a 2001 Chrysler Voyager

"I have a 2001 Chrysler Voyager"
If I'm not mistaken, the Chrysler Voyager was produced in a right-hand drive version for the UK market. It's a minivan the American equivalent of which is the Town and Country. There are numerous owners and enthusiasts but you will find them in the "Chrysler Voyager and Town and Country" part of the forum here which is located further down the front page. If you have a specific question regarding your Voyager, it's much more likely to be seen and answered if you post it there. Voyager owners are not likely to be hanging out here in the Sebring section.
