After getting home and looking, I have the one y'all are talking about. The cd player quit working is there a reset process I can do or do I need to just get a new one?

I thought I saw somewhere the CD player guts are the same as factory radio and may be able to be swapped into the Escape unit.....You'll have to verify, don't have time to search at moment.

It is possible to crash the firmware in this CD player, requiring a full power cycle (battery disconnect) to reset it. I've done this, and repeated this, by burning CD's with MP3s on it with a file format that the player doesn't understand. In fact, the problem caused me to go buy another one, then I crashed that one too...and realized what was going on, so I wrote an instructable on how to properly burn MP3 data CDs for this player that won't crash the firmware.
Specifically, inserting a disk burned in UDF format will crash it. It will do nothing useful with CDs after that unless you completely cold boot the unit by removing all power.

To reset the situation, either pull it out of the dash and unplug it for a minute or two, or disconnect the battery and turn on your headlights for a minute or two or pull the radio fuse and let it sit for 10 minutes. When you reconnect power, make sure the first thing you do is eject the CD. Don't hit play, or you'll crash it again.
Of course, it's entirely possible that this isn't what caused yours to crash. I hope it is. It's easily fixed.

Ok thanks, right now its working again but I know I'm on borrowed time. Incidentally I just fixed the display on my F250, it was dim, a little solder on four resistors fixed it right up. Appreciate the info.
