Or how cani fix mine, it's like the cartridge is stuck in the changer and won't come out or do anything!!

I have one in perfect working order that I recently took out of my 88 ( I went MP3 ).

Make me an offer.....

Ok, this happened to me once. I dis-connected everyting.......i took the entier cd changer out of my center consule. After this, i took apart the case, and i could see the stuck CD. What i did, was get a knive and put a little bit of thin cloth on it. I then ghetto rigged the cd changer, and pressed the eject button. I could see that the cd was trying to be pulled into the "read" motion...so i just stuck the knive in there and gently pushed it foraward until it caught.

Problem solved

Al, I too have a 96 xlt w/ 6 disk changer that fell apart. I removed it from the console and all sorts of parts fell out. You state yours is an '88, can you send a picture (I would be concerned about the connector and the physical dimensions of the unit).
Thanks

Ok, got the pics up.

Bear with me....to have the pictures VERY LARGE click on the links below the pictures.


This is a shot of the factory CD changer all apart. All i did was take the screws out, and pull the black metal pieces apart.

This is a picture of the CD assembly. I took apart part of the actual cd changer (which houses the 6 cd cartrige....took off about 4 more screws...not bad)

With this off, you can lift out the 6 cd cartrige, and get to the stuck cd (just pull lightly on the cd and it should dis-attach and come out)

This last picture shows a closer view...the right side is where the CD cartrige is housed...the little metal cirle looking thing on the left is what kinda holds the cd.
