Why do you need to bypass the amp? Is the amp defective and you need to connect the speaker wires direct to the radio? That can be done pretty easily but more info is needed here.

Is it the indash cd changer or the radio and separate changer in the console or under a seat? If it's the separate changer you could try unplugging it and wait a minute then plug it back in and see if it ejects. I seem to remember they had a little reset button next to the eject button too. Might try that. You can also take a thin piece of plastic, like a driver's license and put it in under the bottom side of the magazine, in the center. Shove it in there and it will hit the mechanical release for the magazine.
If it's the indash changer, good luck. You might try disconnecting the battery again to reset it. Or read the owner's manual and see if there is a reset button on it somewhere. If that doesn't work you should take it to a good car audio shop and get it professionally done. Sorry but I am not very familiar with the indash changers.

Hello, my 04 RAM 1500 infinity system amp went bad. Blows fuse as soon as you install it. I removed the amp amd it not longer blows the fuse. My problem is I cannot locate a good use amp. The Dealer wants $400. for a new one. Is there an after market amp that I can get that is a easy change out? If so a brand and model would really be great. I just don't have the big bucks for the OEM. Thanks for any help on this.

You could install an aftermarket amp in place of the OE Infinity amp. Be sure the new amp ia rated at least 20 watts per channel, not more than 50 watts per channel should do fine. You need a 4 channel amp for it and be sure it either accepts speaker level inputs or you can buy convertors to change the speaker outputs from the radio over to RCA low level inputs. You should be able to buy a decent amp and probably have it installed too for around $200 to maybe $250 depending on the prices where you live.
You could also find a good car audio shop in your area and have the OEM amp repaired. It sounds like it has a shorted power supply, which may cost less and be less work than buying a new amp.
You could also buy a new radio and instead of using the OEM or an aftermarket amp, just connect the speaker outputs on the new radio to the speakers in the truck. Aftermarket units nowadays have plenty of power for the stock speakers, possibly even more than the OEM amp had. Plus you will have much more sound control and most units nowadays have either a USB or an auxilliary input for an Ipod or MP3 player. You can get a really good head unit for around $200.00 and sometimes at Best Buy or an independent car audio shop they have deals for free installation. You will need a mounting kit for the new radio, an antenna adapter (I think, my 2003 Ram needed one) and a wiring harness for the installation. If you buy from crutchfield, I think they throw in the parts and installation instructions for free.
Those are a few suggestions. Let us know how it turns out.
