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??

dus6178 from United States 6 years ago
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...
ITDN from United States 6 years ago
Had exact same problem, checked fuses, fuses fine. Ford dealer says radio is dead, $575 to replace
dus6178 from United States 6 years ago
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.
ITDN from United States 6 years ago
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.
Duanw from Canada 6 years ago
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.

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
Coal Minning Man from United States 2 years ago
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.

Pappybeare from United States 3 years ago
I have read that a front windshield leak causes the GEM module to short out if at any time you have things that come on and off without you turning them on. It is a box connected directly on top of the under dash fuse box. It is very hard to get out, and they are hard to find for the older trucks. You either have to buy used or remanufactured, and the model number of your part has to exactly match or all of your options will not work. I’m still trying to get one for mine, but haven’t had any luck. I have looked for a cross reference part #, but haven’t had any luck. Even my call to Ford ended with them telling me to find an electronics repair shop that can refurbish mine. I still haven’t found one that will guarantee the part for more than 30 days, and they want me to send my part to them and then wait for them to make the repair and they will mail it back. The cost is astronomical too! To have mine repaired it was $400, and if I want to take a chance on a junkyard part, I can get one for $150. The junkyard part is only guaranteed with an exchange if the part they send don’t work. I can’t find any information on specs, or any testing methods. I’ve even tried to get nomenclature to find out what the model #digits mean. There is mot much good info on this part. I hope this helps. Make sure you have the windshield resealed before replacing the part if that’s what yours turns out to be.

I think that's my problem. When I brought it home. I had break lights and turn signals. Now I have none. Bad arch when putting battery cable on. Positive or negative? What do you think?

So driving down the road and the solution came to me, in the form of my under dash fuse panel. It caught fire! Got it out with minimal damage. New fuse panel (and a couple short wire repairs), no more issues! Not my preferred way of finding the issue but it is solved and fixed.

This just started happening to me about 1 month ago. It is intermittent, so one day all works well the next I have nothing. Controls on Dash (center) console not working; A/C, Heater, Radio, defrosters, etc. 1) When radio volume/pwr knob pushed the clock shows briefly in the led window above the console. 2) Hazard button works and turns hazards on. 3) CD Player controls work. 4) 12v outlet works. 5) USB port provides power. 6. ) Keyless entry (remote) no longer works when the center console controls aren't working but works on the days the controls are working. Anyone have any updates on a repair that will fix this??
JaRe from Canada 2 years ago
I took my truck into Ford Dealership. Of course, everything was working fine that day. Told me they couldn't duplicate the problem in the shop or on a test drive. They decided to perform a self-test on all the modules and found multiple modules lost communication with the BCM (Body Control Module). Ran a self-test and network test on the BCM and it passed. Performed an inspection of the BCM itself and found C2280B on the bottom of the BCM to not be fully seated and locked. While wiggling this connector they were able to duplicate the no radio, heat, defrost or center console controls. Reinstalled the connector and made sure it was fully seated and locked. 3 days later and I haven't had any issues since. Cost me $190 labour but I wouldn't have been able to figure this out myself.

In the 2004 ford f150 if you have that problem its the ground screw on the passenger side because they left out sealent around the windshield,water gets down in the passenger side. Take off the panel by the fuse box towards the door and check the ground,its usally russted away. Take and put in a new ground screw or use one already there.

Bruce from United States a year ago
There are a few possible causes for this issue, but here are the most common ones:

Blown Fuse: Check the fuse panel in the engine compartment and inside the vehicle to see if the radio fuse has blown. If it has, replace it with one of the same amperage.
Wiring Issues: Check the wiring to the radio and the speaker system. Make sure there are no cuts, frays, or corrosion on the wiring.
Radio Unit Failure: If the wiring and fuse are both fine, the issue may be with the radio unit itself. This could be caused by a malfunctioning amplifier, a problem with the wiring, or an issue with the unit's firmware.
Speaker Failure: If you have sound from the CD player but not from the radio, it's possible that the speakers are at fault. Check the speaker connections to make sure they are secure and the wiring is not damaged. If the speaker cones are damaged or blown, you may need to replace the speakers.
It's always best to consult with a professional technician who can diagnose and repair your car's audio system. They will be able to properly diagnose the issue and repair it so that your car's audio system functions properly.

Ours stopped once we filled the tank. But will see if it returns when it gets back down to 1/4 tank.
Squash! from United States 3 years ago
I believe that I found the answer, though I haven't had time to test my theory. The long and short of it is that the truck is telling me that I have a warning light out on the dashboard. I'm too tired to remember what one, but I do have one out, and I hope to replace it this weekend.

,it has to do with a passenger airbag warning light on top of the radio. I believe there is a fuse that will stop the alarm if removed.

johnCharlesBallude from United States 8 years ago
Hi! I have a similar issue with one of my new F-150. The sunroof rattles on the passenger side whenever you go over a small bump in the road. At the beginning It wasn't that bad, but It got worse in the last weeks. I took it to the dealer and they were not sure what it was, but they could hear it. After keeping the truck 2 days, they returned it to me with the noise almost gone, although I can still hear it softly, just like when it first started. They said they took the glass out of another new truck on the lot and swapped them. They say it was fixed... I'm not that sure about it. Time will tell!

Working, you can feel heat but no air is being pushed out this is after the truck has been parked overnight and sits for more than 7 hrs. Once I drive it for 30 min or so and start back up
Then the heat will blow out the vents and floor... Dealer said it may be a dead battery cell??

Heater barely works on my 2012 F-150 xlt. Takes a long time and then it barely blows luke warm air.

Speakers sound blown

Ford F-150 2013  74000 miles
The speakers with my sync stereo system sound terrible. They sound fuzzy and vibrating like they are blown but I know they're not because it does it at different times for different speakers throughout the truck. It also doesn't matter if it's radio CD Bluetooth it all sounds like crap.

I have the same problem. It seems to be heat related. Early mornings works fine after work sounds like speakers are blown until truck cools down.
Toopentup from United States 5 years ago
I haven't noticed a hot or cold relation to it, but I will definitely check those patterns. I have done a little more digging and looking into it though and apparently Ford used $8 speakers for about a 3-year. That includes my 2013. There apparently have been loads of complaints. The only solution is to buy better ones that I have found so far.

Cruise does not work

Ford F-150 2002 super crew 118000 miles
Cruise control will not come on. Recall was done. How do you check inline fuse in harness. Had to replace cruise control switch because it was leaking, Would that cause fuse to blow in harness.

Red wrench displayed on navigation and loss of power, whine noise

Ford F-150 2013 Super cab 4x4 Eco boost 53000 miles
Loose power, winning noise when decelerating , cruise control is non functional when this occurs. Red wrench displayed. After parked and off, the next day it starts and the wrench emblem is gone. Ford garage denies that the problem is captured by the computer memory. I don't believe them. Notorious liars.

Auto parts stores sell a selection of fuses that ALSO HAS A TESTER. The mini fuses have little test ports on back, so can be tested w/o removing. Also getting the right fuse panel diagram is helpful.

Speedometer quit working

Ford F-150 1997 Xlt 4.6 188000 miles
I have a 1997 f150. My Ac compressor locked up on it so I threw it on the dolly and pulled it home(not thinking) I changed out the compressor and on my test drive noticed my speedometer was not working. Could I have messed up my VHS by pulling it home?

Electric Fan stuck on High

Ford F-150 2014 STX 5.0 4X4 140000 miles
Fan is on high speed, Truck is not overheating, Fan kicks on while driving, started shortly before I had a leak in the upper radiator hose. Fixed the leak, installed new T-Stat, and refilled with 50/50. Radiator fans will kick on after driving for 10 mins or so and will not stop until I shut the truck off.

INSTrument panel illumination, has no power

Ford F-150 2009 4.3L, 3V, SUPER CREW CAB  135000 miles
I cannot see any gauges or the radio does not have illumination , my A/C does not trust on the compressor when I select cooling. I checked fuse F29 by the passenger side and checked the PCM fuses inside the engine compartment. I need to find a schematic to troubleshoot. I can’t find one.

Look at the ground screw next to the fuse box,the panel towards the passenger door,take that out and check the ground there,it is usally rusted out and you have to put a new one or use the one up behind the one above it

Radio sound system

Radio works,but cannot see station or time, sometimes radio changes station by itself. CD player will not accept cd, when it does accept cd it reads Error. Also overhead console does not work any more, no time,temperature or direction can be seen. I've already checked fuses.

If you have an anti theft system, there should be an anti theft light (that blinks when you start the truck), and the key should have a chip in it.

Its a small plastic gear that controls climate control. If its the upper that means its behind the dash =12hr labor
Lower under pass. Seat = 4hr labor. Happened to my brothers F150 and cost $1800.00 CDN. For the upper replacement Its the same part in Ford Dodge & Chev - Years 2008 -14
Just another cash grab with no recall. Never buying a ford again!!
This only pertains to trucks with dual climate
Good luck
Jasonmtx3 from United States 5 years ago
I see this was from a couple years ago. I thought this only pertain to GM vehicles. It's odd that Ford would have the exact same part in the exact same place as a Chevrolet Impala. I guess that proves I can still learn something new everyday (learning something new everyday is this year's resolution. I didn't realize it was are gonna require so much reading lol).

There's a resistor that controls blower motor speed and that could be bad.
Michael from United States 6 years ago
Where is the resistor
Mook from United States 6 years ago
The resistor should be either under the hood on the heat exchanger box on 70s-80s F150s with a/c or under the dash behind the glove compartment. Its probably next to the blower motor to keep it cool.

The best thing when buying a ford pickup is to pull into dealership and park. Then turn on GPS to find nearest toyota dealer. I have a f150 trouble with it from day one also!!! Ford needs people to stop buying the piece of shit product they sell and go out of business!!!! 5.4L engine is junk but they continued to make it knowing all of its problems. Fords solution has always been too bad buy something else!!
