6 CD changer jammed
Gentlemen,
I have the factory 6-CD changer in my 2000 EB Expy. The cartridge won't come out. When I press the eject button, I can hear the motor turn, some gears engage, the cartridge makes a little sideways movement, then all stops with no ejection, and if the stereo is on a little message lights up on the panel that says "ejection error".
Looking down between the narrow space around the cartridge, I don't see any CDs half-way engaged. I tried waving a wire back and forth in that space, and nothing's there.
I've tried inserting a hook to pull at the same time as it tries to eject - no luck. It's tightly held in there. I've tried pressig on the cartridge in different directions to see if it'll free from something, but no luck. And I've loked evryewhere for a manual ejection ejection button (usually hidden inside a hole for a wire), but don't see one.
Any suggestions??
Thanks.

If you can not get it out, look on Ebay and there is a company in Ca. that will repair it for around $90-$100. I sent mine in last year and had it back in 2 weeks and it worked great. The changer is easy to take out of the vehicle. Sorry I can't remeber the name of the company but just look in ebay for a Ford Expy changer and you will see their listing for repairs. Good luck
