I have a CD changer in a 2000 Buick. When I try to use it I get an E-34
message on the radio. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix
it?
Thanks,
Lou

It used to work fine but one day it failed. The radio just shows the error
number then goes back to playing the radio.

If it were me, I would look at it like this:

It's an electronic and mechanical device. Odds are the electronic
part of it is fine, but that it instead has a mechanical hangup. I
would remove it from the vehicle. Take it apart and look for some
kind of mechanical issue that can be easily remedied. Might need a
bench test power supply to play with things. Barring that, I would
look for a reasobale replacement on Ebay. There are aftermarket, but
they are not always bolt in / plug in. Often needing different
mounting and special translating adapeters to allow the headunit to
control the unit.
