Anyone who has fooled with these changers might be able to help!

The changer continues to try to send the carriage down to the bottom of the magazine resulting in a constant thump. It actually broke a CD that was partially engaged in teh carriage. I had to unplug the power to make it stop but the radio does not work at all with the DIN plug unplugged.

So, is there a limit switch or some kind of reset button I can use to get the carriage to stop? Or is there anyway I can manually get the magazine out because it now has 6 good cd's in it! one broken....

If anyone has a clue, please let me know, I would like to keep the original stereo in it because its wired to amps, fader in the dash etc.

The car is a '92 400 E.

is it an OE changer?

 

Yes its the becker sillver, 6 changer.

 

Does it happen with only cds inside or all the time? it might be a short from the connection that's sending it crazy.

 

haven't been able to manually get the CD's out. I now have the din plug connected with the power disconnected. when I connect just the power, it goes nuts.
