2005 95 2.2 CD autochanger 'no magazine'

[wallsm]

Hi my 2005 95 2.2 CD autochanger was working perfectly until I got the error on the sid, 'No Magazine'

Any help would be much appreciated, I have searched all forums but can't get my specific problem.

Thanks Mark

That sounds like the internal detection mechanism for the magazine is no longer working ; either

Microswitch moved / broken (or wiring to it)
Magazine damaged, meaning magazine does not trio the switch

I've no specific knowledge here, and recognise my suggestions may be a little old tech, but it's where I would start.

First job would be to go to the CD changer and physically remove / replace the magazine - that might be all that's needed.

ps - this should be in the classic 9-5 forum, if a mod can move it

Thank you Carrera.

When I open the auto-changer nothing happens, can I physically pull the cassette out without harming it?

Thanks in advance.

If it's the same as mine the magazine is a motorised load / unload by pressing a button.

Are you sure you have power to the CD changer ?

Hi, no I' not sure I have power, I'll investigate further.
Horrible weather today so will have to wait.

Thanks

Sorted, tugged at the wires and it came to life, bad connection behind the boot trim.

Thanks for your help.

Great, glad you got it sorted and for posting the conclusion
