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.

Engine noise, F150 2004

Ford F-150 2004  150000 miles
The engine of my F150 5.4 Lariat sounds as if it was diesel, and on the passenger side the engine block makes a clanking sound. When I start it it doesn't make the noise, but as soon as it warms up it starts again. I checked the cranshaft's connecting rods and everything looks fine, the timing belt is new but the noise is still there, and it vibrates and loses accelaration when you throttle it.

I have a Ford F150 5.4 v3 with a weird noise

Ford F-150 2006  180000 miles
Hello, I have a problem with my 5.4 v3 truck, first I thought it was the chain but after disassembling and changing the tensors I saw some damages, and then changed the oil pump. It kept doing the same noises, in fact you can hear it even more, and also it burns the raw gas. The engine is not vibrating anymore, but I don't get any warning or a check engine light

Battery drain, humming noise when not running

Ford F-150 2014 F150, 5.0, supercrew, 4x4 76000 miles
When my truck is parked, it drains the battery. Have taken to ford and had checked and tested. They said it was the PCM. I have had the PCM replaced and programmed. Still having the same issue. Have just put in the second new battery. Truck still has a faint humming noise coming from the engine compartment and draining the battery. If I pull the #53 relay and put right back in it shuts off whatever is not shutting down. I put a maintainer on it over night.

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 4 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.

Make sure your truck gets an engine cleaning, it's a liquid they put in the oil before changing it. Then add your 5 20 semi-synthetic and done. That noise is because the engine is dirty and it takes a while for the lubrication to get everywhere, and if you leave it like that you'll damage the engine. Hope it helps!

Engine noise

Ford F-150 2007  100000 miles
Good afernoon, I own a Ford 150 fx4 2007 and recently I've changed both VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing), pinions and roller chains, a camshaft, spark plugs and coils. I have as well changed the oil but the engine is now giving off a sound at low revs, as if those chains were touching themselves.Even more, if I drive in reverse, the car usually starts trembling and, in order to stop it, I need to desaccelerate or stop it. No failure is provided by the computer, any ideas?

Your trucks problem could be the grease that came from the factory on the slip yoke, it might need to be greased again and you won't hear that thumping noise again, that happens with the Ford trucks with double cardan.

JaRe from Canada a year 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.

On my 2005 F150 that I just had the transmission rebuilt on. They found a stuck valve on in valve body which causes the drum to break. The drum is poorly designed and they make a better one to replace it with.
513F150 from United States 3 years ago
Mine does that but after I’ve drove it for a while. It runs fine when It first starts but after a while it will jerk when I let off the gas and if I stop at a red light, when I hit the gas it jerks hard like it’s going to stop! I thought a while back I was having issues with the transmission temperature sensor because of hard cranks after a lon drive and letting it sit! Could it be the same issue? I plan on changing it out and changing the fluid since it has high miles anyway.

Damn it! I was amazed that I found this question so quickly, only to realize that it's been here for 6 years and not one single answer.
Annoyed truck owner from United States 2 years ago
Add on one 2005 Flare side 150 to the list of mystery 4 beeps than quit then like 1 minute 3 more slow long beeps than twice more of the cycle than silent for about an hour...
Ours stopped once we filled the tank. But will see if it returns when it gets back down to 1/4 tank.

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.

It really wouldn't be recommended due to the timing a misfire can mess the timing up which could result in well needing a new motor...11$ for a plug or $1000-$1500 or more for a new motor your choice

It vibrates and the engine shakes SolvedSolved

Ford F-150 2009  90000 miles
When my pick up goes over a ramp or hill, it starts to make a rattling noise, as if it doesn't have any oil. If I leave it like that the engine starts vibrating badly, I have to accelerate it briefly for it to go back to normal. And now this is happening more often; I hope anybody can help me or have some experience with this, thanks!

You have to diagnose it, maybe the oil pump is not working correctly, or the crankshaft is work out
melvin from United States 9 years ago
I forgot to mention that I never had a check engine light or any other warning, but I will take it to the dealership for the diagnostic, thanks for the comment.

I have the same problem, the oil pum and crankshaft were checked in the dealership and they are in top condition, I haven't been able to solve it
syphorous25 from United States 9 years ago
These engines have a big defect: the gears in the camshaft wear out and damage easily, and then they make a noise as if they were diesel. I had 4 of these trucks and in all I had to change the gears, and then the problem is solved.

I took it to the dealership and they said it was the timing kit, luckily I sold it and bought the new 2015 model.

If it's not the actuator, Check the vaccum hose underneath the seloniods. Let us know when you find the problem!

It's very sluggish SolvedSolved

Ford F-150 2000  200000 miles
It rattles and it's very sluggish, as if something was missing. I changed the oil filter, spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body and it's still the same. The spark plugs I used are normal cheap ones, not platinum, and I calibrated them to 0.52, now it starts quickly, before it took a while. What can I do so it recovers acceleration and feels quick again?

You have to check the gas pressure in the fuel rail, this is very delicate and with a few pounds everything is already off. I had that problem with a King Ranch that didn't go over 70, I changed the fuel pump and that was it.

My pick up does not accelerate

Ford F-150 1998  140000 miles
It started with jerks while driving; when starting gold y vibrates and then it normalizes. While driving it losed power as if choking a little, but now it got worse. It chokes while accelerating and sounds as if exploding, when I let go it keeps driving; if I accelerate again it does the same but it doesn't stall. If I turn it off for 5 seconds it works for 10 minutes and then it fails again. I alreadi cleaned the injectors, changed spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, coils and their sensors. I've already had this problem for a year and they can't solve it, yesterday I scanned it and had air sensor error, but changing it didn't fix it.

It has a broken cable, an electrician can find it and fixit. I had the same problem for almost a year
Javc from United States 4 years ago
Which cable are you referring to? Is it electrical or vacuum?

It sounds like the issue I had with my 2008 5.4l engine. I replaced spark plugs and coils. Finally it ended up being the VCT solenoid. I got my power back and it runs great.

Have you tried changing fuel pump module, ford ground wires should be cleaned tightened up fender well grounds all of them. Make aground wire ,ground strap ect. Ground firewall to the bracket on alt.
