Default CD changer gremlins

From time to time I have trouble with my 12 CD changer (stock). When this happens it won't play or eject the magazine. When I go to take out the six screws that hold it in the bracket it starts working and ejects the magazine. I put the screws back in and it works fine. ?????

Any ideas? I go to take the unit out to unplug it but as soon as I loosen those screws it works so I don't ever get as far as unplugging it. Weird.

Your mechanically challenged Forum buddy.

When you open the door, do you hear the motor come on to eject the cartridge? If not, maybe a loose connection that gets connected enough when you start messing with it.

Yes, the motor runs for about four cycles then stops.
