Have a cassette stuck in my 98 Buick Century Custom
This is the original radio/cassette player- no CD player. The cassette will not eject. How do i get It out? Do I have ti take the dash board off? If so could you provide step-by-step instructions so I could remove the cassette.
I would appreciate any technical advice that you woul provide.

Sometime you can get luck by taking out the tape player and there will be a small hole somewhere on the player that you can stick a paper clip through to release the tape player. Otherwise gnetly stick a screwdriver under the tape to see if you can get it to release. no guarntees on that last one

Try inserting an "old" CD into your radio, just under the lip of the stuck CD...this can properly trigger the "eject" function on your CD player...Hope this works...
The eject button is stuck (probably got some stuff splashed on it). Take the face plate off and clean/check area around this button for goo, dirt, or damage.
if its a radio shack radio, it means E13 means "Tape Communication Error". It is caused by the microprocessor reading speed pulses from the tape deck either too fast, most other makes mean about the same thing, normally a stuck tape will cause this code to show up, either that or the drive gear that loads and unloads the tape is broken, cracked, or jammed
Then I unscrewed the bottom panel of the radio. Unscrew the brass screws holding in the cassette player portion of the radio. Now flip the cassette player over to see your tape, etc. When I pressed the eject button, I noticed a little motor with a worm gear would move a a gear which moved several other gears until it eventually moved a black gear which has a little post that moves the metal arm which moves back when pushing in a tape and moves forward when ejecting a tape. But I would get a clicking sound which seemed to be due to one gear trying to move a stuck gear.
I forgot the exact details of how I managed to get the tape out, but when I did get it out I noticed when I turned on the radio, it would act like it was trying to play a tape. But when it found out it couldn't, it would try to eject but would fail once again with the gear clicking sound. I think I tried moving the black post on the black gear that moves the arm that pushes the tape out. Eventually I got to the point where the arm was pushed forward like it should be when a tape is ejected. At that point I was able to insert and eject a tape without any problems.
Just found this... doesn't help me since I'm using the tape deck and not the CD part... E22 : Motor Error Cause(s): The CD motor is not handling the compact disc properly. Correction(s): Service or exchange the unit at an ACDelcoã‚â® Service Center.
