Bluetooth/Sync/aux/usb Settings not working

Ford Fiesta 2016  145000 miles
Just purchased a used 2016 fiesta. None of the audio features are working except for the radio. When I press the media button it flashes for a split second then goes back to radio. Nothing happens when I press the phone button and the aux and usb ports both don’t work. I’ve already replaced both the audio unit fuse and the sync module fuse and it’s made no difference. Anyone having the same problem? Would appreciate some answers.

After the battery died and I replaced the battery, the driver’s side electric window and electric mirrors stopped working. Note that the passenger’s side window works (even when using the switch on the driver’s side) but the passenger’s side electric mirror does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not starting

Ford Fiesta 2003 Hatchback  161034 miles
The engine is good it’s a petrol manual fiesta I think it’s the battery but when I try to start it, it try’s to turn over and then when I try again it just makes a ticking noise but if I jump start it, it works no problem but if I turn it off and try start it again it won’t start

Jump the car, after it starts disconnect the battery. If it does not stay running after you remove the cables then you need a new alternator.
If it stays running then you may need a new battery.

Can't reset the system

Ford Fiesta 2015 1.25 27000 miles
Can anyone tell me how to reset the system on my fiesta 1.25 (1965 model). I recently went to Wales and just before arriving at my destination I got a message on the screen telling me to check my tyre pressures, which I did put some more air into them but the screen tells me each time I switch on "check tyre pressures" I've read the manual and all it tells me is to reset the system.It does'nt say how. 78 year old confused lady.

Hi John, did you work out what was wrong? It sounds like we’ve got the same problem with our 2007 Fiesta. Have checked bulbs, fuse and switch. Nothing has worked so far.
