Audio Systems: CD Magazine is stuck, cd magazine, lincoln continental


Question
I recently loaded my cd magazine in my 2001 lincoln continental with some new cd's and inserted the magazine into the player. When I tried to play the cd's, the player would not work. I tried to eject the magazine to see if I loaded the cd's incorrectly, but it will not eject - it is stuck. I removed the fuse for the player to cut the power to the unit, replaced the fuse, and the magazine will still not eject. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answer
The loading mechanism within the changer has gotten out of alignmnet or timing.  Usually this occurs when a tooth breaks off of a gear or a belt has slipped.  The unit should be dis-assembled to properly remove the CDs and rebuilt replacing the defective parts.
