Audio - Cassette Tape Eject Button Inoperative

Number 85-9-6 Date 7/85
Subject: CASSETTE TAPE EJECT BUTTON INOPERATIVE

1984 6000 STE, ALL 1985 CARLINES (EXCEPT 1000)
Customer comments that either cassette tapes cannot be ejected unless the radio or ignition is turned off or that the tape deck will not accept a tape cassette may be caused by an open or shorted tape eject button. This condition may affect some 1984 6000 STE models equipped with a cassette radio or 1985 Pontiac models equipped with a cassette radio.

Verify the customer comment with a known good tape because the normal operation of the tape deck will eject or not accept a tape cassette if the tape cassette is damaged (i.e., binds or jams). The unit should not be removed if the customer has the condition only with a specific tape cassette. Only after the condition is verified, should the unit be removed and sent to an authorized AC-Delco Service Center for repair. The specific condition should be described on the AC-Delco Repair Claim Form as "tape eject button inoperative".
