help with CD changer

My Cd chamger seems to be dead. Up until last week, it was working like a champ. I removed all six Cds from it and it died. No lights, no nothing. All it does now is come out when you press the button and the motorized door lifts up and the cd changer comes foward. Then after a few minutes, it goes back in. Is anybody having this problem and/or knows a way to fix this? Or do I end up having to buy a new one?

If you remove all the cd's, of course it won't do anything.

Have you tried loading cd's ?

this just happened to me you may to try:

Pulled into garage at work thursday and turned the car off while listening to the end of a song on the 6-disk changer, when i hear "crack" sound and then the music stopped and "Error Establishing Cd Audio Connection" is displayed. opened the panel to the changer and no lights and could not eject CDs.

So today i decided to try and fix. First removed fuse #6 in trunk, but to no avail, next tried the fuses in the side of the dash driver's side. there is one for the gateway and the cd-changer. Removed both for a minute or 2 then re-installed, i immediately heard the changer start to cycle through its check for CDs and the lights were on, and it works!!.

So if you are experiencing this you may want to give this a try......

Thanks for the replies. I'll try the fuses and tell you if that helped.
