Sounds like a good time to find out what makes it tick. Dismantle! I'm sure someone will post up a better option eventually though.

There is no blue wire in the changer harness so where is this wire you're refering to?

if its a really small blue wire, it sounds like the remote wire for an aftermarket amp.

No, it certainly doesn't have anything to do with a factory changer or, near as I can tell, any other factory wiring. Is it possibly something wired by a prior owner (such as a remote turn on wire for an aftermarket amp as suggested earlier)?

Sounds like it. There are various work-arounds such as attaching a small pull strap to the cartridge but the changer really isn't worth the cost of repair. You can usually pick one up in the Parts For Sale section here for about $100 (sometimes less).
