Stuck CD
Hi,
The CD in my 2004 blazer is stuck. When I press eject i hear a clunky sound and nothing happens, the CD doesn't get out.
I tried removing it by inserting another CD, I tried tweezers, I tried holding the eject button, and tried taking the radio fuse off for a while. Nothing worked.
Any ideas pls!
Thank

RE: Stuck CD
hmm tweezers or trying to fish it out with a toothpick or something is going to be your best bet. i havent had the problem before. you may have to remove the player and take it apart? might as well get a new deck if you have the stock one.

RE: Stuck CD
I'll try removing the unit. Any idea if I need a security code after I remove it, take it apart and reinstall it?
Also, If that doesn't work and I end up needing to get a new one. Do I need to worry about the flashing light that is on the player? Is that for the car alarm?, and if so would I be able to replace the unit without losing the alarm? Do I have to get an OEM?
many thanks

I had this happen to me 2-3years ago. If it's an impotant CD>>Your gonna have to take that pig outta the dash!
Once removed,start diassembling the madness & once opened manually turn the plastic sprocket until CD backs out.
My advice DO-NOT put that particular stereo back in..get an new boomer.
...also UN-hooked battery when putting in new stereo(you will also need one of those dash-kits($30-is) & a wiring harness($25-ish) to hook it up properly.
NOTE: I don't know how different a '04 is from a '95.

If you buy from Crutchfield.com, they give you the dash kit and adapter harness (and installation instructions) for free.

Must be a states thing, no such deal for me over in igloo land!

RE: Stuck CD
Update;
i ended up taking the whole unit out and installing an aftermarket one. It took forever to disconnet the rear wiper switch then I read on this forum that you can simply push it out!!! Could have saved so much time and frustration.
I ended doing the wiring directly without a harness. There are two black wires from the car wires, I connected one of them to the ground (is this a problem? what is the other black wire for?). Also, I left a gray and purples wire disconnected (is this something I should worry about?)
many thanks for all the help and advice!

Grey should be for positve right,front speaker.
And i 'think' the purple is for the rear right speaker(this i don't know for sure though!)

RE: Stuck CD
All speakers are working fine though! This post says I should ignore the brown and gray:

More importantly, what are the two blacks for, are they both ground? Should I be concerened that I connected only one of them?
