My answer may not be to your liking, but is a correct & honest answer.
Many times the only fix will be by Dealer or Shop, so please do not hold that against me.

The "flashing lights" is an Error Message for the Mechanism Failure.
This can be a Logic Circuit or Mecahnical failure & Repair, Replace or Exchange is typically needed
Repair est apprx $ 325.00 - 395.00 depending on shop & parts

 

Many times you can find the same Model Number on-line, e-bay, etc for less than repair
If you need further, please ask & Please post Model Chrysler........

After reading your response I also read what others that have had the same problem had to say. I have a disc in each slot and although the changer makes the noise as if it is trying to eject the disc - the disc will not eject. The first three lights flash on the changer and then the last three lights flash and keep flashing until the car is turned off. The noise stops after the car has been on for a few minutes but the lights continue to flash until the car is turned off. It appears that a disc is stuck and causing the other disc not able to rotate to eject. Was hoping for another answer to help eject the disc other than a $325.00 price to have the dealership fix.

sorry..............my answer never mentioned taking to Dealer, as there are many shops that can Repair

Repair est apprx $ 325.00 - 395.00 depending on shop & parts

 

I repair these units myself & know the problems that indicate a failure

There is not much you can do, other than "hard reset", which is to remove Unit & completely unplug for apprx 5 minutes
Reconnect
Wait apprx 30 seconds for unit to initialize
Turn Key On

Press Eject

This is only a 50 /50 chance

 

Mechanism failure is typical on this unit

sorry for the bad news, but I do not believe in false hopes.......thanks

You would need to remove the Unit from the dash & note the Model Number on the Unit, as there were 3 different Models, using 3 different Mechanisms for this year
