I have a 2004 Mazda 3 w/ a single disc CD player...which has not been working for several months. There is a cd in the player but nothing happens when I press the eject button nor the CD button; won't eject, won't play. =( Hope there is a DIY solution...but any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Look in the Owner's Manual for the FUSES. Find the one for the CD changer - stereo - and remove it. ENSURE THE car is OFF and key is removed. You'll lose any radio presets! This should reset the CD changer and may allow the stuck CD to come out.

Unless you have 2 jammed in there, you will just have to replace the cd player part (they are separate from the radio.) With the cd player out of the dash you can tear into it (unscrew I mean) and retrieve your CD that is stuck.

Had this happen to my 6, they had to remove the CD player and send it away to get the disc's out and they mailed them to me, installed new bose disc changer under warrenty no problems since.

this happened to me after 2 years of having my 2006 Mazda 3, luckily i was still within warranty. the entire LCD had to be replaced in mine

try unplug cd player and reconct

Yeah, the sensor that detects the presence of the disc is knackered - probably broken off. The eject will always eject the disc. Just press the button with no disc and you will hear it try. Look at ebay for a replacement - theyre dirt cheap!

Try this: Remove the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes. Reconnect the battery termional and see if the CD player "resets" itself. This sometimes works for me.

the only thing i can sagest is that you leave the battery disconnected over night this may reset the cd player and it may Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} Recognise that it has cds in it
the only other thing i can think of is that when it says enter single disk only that you do so to a point don't let it go all the way in
this may make the cd player think there is a disk in there
hope this helps

I had the same problem i just decided to pull the whole thing out and get a new radio and single disc cd changer put in and so far it works fine.
