Sounds like it could possibly be the little inside the changer is broken?? I'm not too familiar with cd changers, but that would be my guess. Is this a stock cd changer, or aftermarket?

Generally when HU that I've seen that have bad motors, they do not eject disks right.

What brand is the changer and headunit?

Vary rarely do motors go bad.... its usually a bad position switch, core unit, or power supply (all inside the changer). I work on car stereo equipment for a living, so if you can be as specific as you can about your equipment and problem I may be able to give you advice. You won't fix it, though (unless you can read schematics).
