Now my cd player doesn't work... When I go to hit the source button the cd changer doesn't switch over its stays on fm.. It says somthing like CD MECH ERROR its the same message you get when the cd gets jammed.. By the way there is still that winding sound to eject a cd...

Any ideas... I followed your instructions step by step and I can't figure out what I did wrong...

Any help
Mine did the same thing and i figured out what to do, if you look to the left there is a small white turn table i'm using a small flat head to push it toward the back of the cd player and it will push the gray part back and then the cd bar that was stuck will move back

Re: CD's Jammed/Player Dismantle Guide

As my previous post suggests I took the unit apart as per attached pictures. I figured that it was easier to take scissors and cut the CD rather then taking the prings off and stuff. It took me little time to cut the CD into pieces and extract them, then i retracted my steps and fitted the unit together. When I connected the wires in the car to the back of the unit it started to smoke so i had to unplug and take the unit appart again. It turned out that the ribbon cable wasnt connected properly so i guess it was touching the metal box or something. Once that was fixed the unit went back on exept i get a new error message CD COMM ERROR uppon pressing load button. So i guess at the end of the day cutting the CD out wasnt the quick fix i was hoping for. To make my long story short, since i didnt really touch anything inside the CD changer unit i just have to fix the initial problem of why the CD got jammed in the first place. Hence my question, is there an initial possition that the gears and turn table have to be set in???

TOmmy any ideas??? Or should i just take it appart as per you pictures all the way to the end??

Also i dont think the unit is burned cuz the radio works fine!

Re: CD's Jammed/Player Dismantle Guide

I'd try taking all the tracks out, they could be jamming the player.

Re: CD's Jammed/Player Dismantle Guide

Tommy-great step by step instructions. I've been having trouble with my cd changer since I got the car and it has been replaced 3 times (going for 4-the whole unit). I did notice your part number is the same as mine, so I'll give this website to my audio guys, and they can work with it. Thanks
