Radio quit working

Ford F-150 2008 102000 miles

My stereo in my F150 worked fine on Friday. On Monday...nothing. I checked 3 fuzes under the dash as indicated by the owners manual as having something (anything) to do with the audio system. All fuzes were tested and are ok. Still no radio. Any ideas??

Same problem. One day everything working fine the pop goes out won't come back on. If you press the on/off button the time flashes but that's it.

2013 F150 with 35000 miles radio came on and went off periodically for a couple of months, Finally quit. Ford dealer said he ran diag on the system found the radio shot. Price of 871 to replace... Charged 119. Just to check it out. SYNC also doesn't work. I don't know if it is tied to the stereo in a way that both would quit or not...

Had exact same problem, checked fuses, fuses fine. Ford dealer says radio is dead, $575 to replace

I decided to take the radio out since it was "shot". When I got it out (youtube) I tried to find something obvious. No luck. I put it back in and it worked!! Still cuts off now and then but I can get it going again in 7 minutes or so,, not going to replace it.

So basically it's still shot, just works intermittently

dus6178 from United States 6 years ago

The radio is 2 piece. The box has a problem. Not the knobs. I found one on ebay for $150. It has to have the same numbers. Still cheaper than $575...
I'm going to get the guys at the local tech school to look at it. Sometimes it will run for a week,, Sometimes less...

Anybody know why radio buttons and volume won’t work by the radio it self but works fine if I do it by the controls on the steering wheel

dus6178 from United States 2 years ago

@Bossman94Has it been wet? How old ? Have you tried spraying contact cleaner? I bought a replacement radio at https://1factoryradio.com/. They might be able to help troubleshoot it.

One day the volume wouldn't work then it started working the next day. The day after that the power button won't shut the radio off. It's been 2 months like that and still don't work. I have to turn it all the way down to turn it "off" now.

Same problem after market radio. Stays on even when the engine is off. Went to start it this morning and the truck battery was dead.

Did anyone find out why radio went out and how to fix it

Fergie from United States 3 years ago

I have same issue. All audio went out including voice active two or three times and the next time I would start my truck the radio and all other voice active commands would work fine until early last week heard a pop and no audio all controls are out. Time clock flashing and outside temp are displayed but nothing else and has not came back on. Has anyone has an aftermarket stereo installed. Since Ford can’t figure out what the issue is on there stereos

Same problem! Radio and cell phone sync not working on 2018 F150. What the heck! I have not checked anything, but will check fuses

Go to Ford.com create an account with your VIN #. Your truck searches for updates periodically but sometimes they may not come back with any results needed. Almost EVERY F150 with SYNC has these issues with the stereo. It needs to be updated. I have saw a lot of issues about this. Bc most commonly, if it goes to black screen and you have no control but works later than this is your solution.
