Thanks so much. This demonstration fixed my radio. I have Been 2 years without it not working.
Thank you for the video.. it was a huge help replacing the radio in my 2014 f-150, it took longer to get xm to connect to the new radio than it did to change it out.
Great video! Step by step instructions were on point and helped me fix my dead radio problem. Turned out to be a pinched wire in behind the radio!
Watched your video and found it to be very helpful my radio was not working and just by disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes reinstalling problem fixed I was very glad I didn't have to pull the dash apart
What battery?
I used your video to remove my stereo and I appreciate all the info! My time was flashing and no sound/buttons were working, the temperature showed constantly and didn’t flash. I took apart the radio and removed the mother board on bottom and naked it in an oven at 385 degrees for 8 minutes. I let it fully cool and applied lithium grease to the side of the board that butts up to the heat shrink side. Worked like a charm!
rcpereda how did you remove the ribbon cable going to the CD player part?
Very carefully pull on it. It will come out with a little effort. Putting it back in took a couple tries.
could you help me fix mine im having the exact same issue and ford charges me $1,000 to fix it
The Villa Auto Sales I fixed mine last night. Took the CD player apart down to the motherboard and put it in my oven for 8 minutes. Works perfect now
The Villa Auto Sales send me your email
My CD player was ejecting/loading/ejecting an imaginary CD for 2 days. Reset software system and pulled fuses but no luck. Went inside the radio and just removed the ribbon cable. CD player doesn't work now but my battery shouldn't die from it running when shut off. This video helped me get to the radio simply.
I think I'll try this. My truck keeps trying to eject a CD but I never use it. It only happens when the truck is on so my battery doesn't die but it's really annoying. Can't find any advice on it but I'll try disconnecting the ribbon. Thanks.
Which one is the CD ribbon cable? I've been trying to find a wiring diagram. 2011 F-150
This really helped me everything went perfect my radio is now working thanks so much
What was the first connector you disconnected after the pointing out the air bag sensor? I have that cable and it is not connected to anything in my truck.
I have been getting static coming from my speakers and I tried the battery method but after cleaning all the corrosion from the terminals and reconnecting power, no change. I am not sure if the radio unit itself is bad or if it's something else. To clarify; it's not an antenna issue because aux, CD, and AM/FM all play static. And volume works. Increased volume means louder static. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Does this cause the sync system to not work as well? No one with radio problems mentions the sync and steering wheel buttons not working but I have issues with it all not working, just wondering if a new radio will bring sync back to life.
So, i have to take the stereo out? Or do i just have to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes? Or both?
Once you remove the radio, can you reconnect everything else so that your AC will work? I am planning to ship mine out for repair.
three of my door panels speakers went out, and the stereo source button on the steering wheel will only cycle through sirius/xm and auxiliary, not FM or AM. This all happen after one individual engine start.
great video you very step by step like the video hope mine is that easy fix...
Do you have a video about connecting speakers. I have a 2011 F150 Lariat crew cab and the back speakers do not work. I have removed the speakers from the back and connected them to the passenger front connectors and both speakers work, but whe. They are in their respective doors in the rear I have no volume. Is there a connection somewhere in between the speaker and the stereo that I should check? Obviously there is a disconnect somewhere. Thanks.
Thank you
I have the same radio but display will not work. Radio works fine, just not display. Is there a fuse for that?
How to remove and replace radio display? Why is it so easy here to remove side pannel? Its for 2010 ford f150
How do you reset the stereo???
Anybody know how to actually replace the display above it? The top panel seems to be noted on from underneath and I have no idea how to access them.
Great video! Can this also be used to replace the Actuator that is located behind the stereo?
Yes
My radio won’t turn on anymore and idk. The fuse is ok I already reset it. Now what part the stereo do I have to change in order for it to work???
How did you reset it
@@craig1480 my Dad's got a 2011 Ford 150 and his radio won't turn on. What did you do you fix it?
The comment above said they baked it in the oven at 385 for 8 min and let it cool slowly. Problem solved.
The trouble is the surface mount components soldered on the board and the only way to solve this is to reflow them.
They bake the boards in the manufacturing process so you wont hurt them... but you must be precise.
There are many videos on youtube about reflowing boards in the oven
Anyone else think this dude sounds like the host from America's Most Wanted?
Johnny LAW Canter lol
Saw that a Again
Why didn't you unplug the passenger airbag? To replace the radio with an aftermarket I would have to change that panel and disconnect the airbag light. Something going to surprise me? Good video!
No , you can unplug it
Sir someone in the comments say u sound like American most wanted tv host the narrator tv guy ? And cool tutorial video of f150
the 2011 ford truck radios are junk mine went at 133k they wanted 2000 bucks to fix it.....screw that I just plugged my house radio in the back house plug and it comes on when I start the truck....problem solved but kinda sad a 7 year old truck has no radio in the dash
Waooo! I have the same problem with mine!
There are good kits to put an aftermarket in. I would suggest Pioneer or Kenwood since they are trouble free and offer even more features than the factory unit. If you opt for a single din unit, you have an extra slot for a scanner, CB, Storage pocket, etc...
@@KlodFather no you can't do that because of anti theft system everything is connected to fucking computers now days
So... remove battery for 10 minutes... no disassembly required?
Jared Maxwell that’s correct
Jajaja jajaja... I keep reading all the comments where it says he sounds like. AMW commentators “he really does” 😂 cool vid though
so how did you reset the stereo?
Watch the video starting at 7:15
replaced radio, but I have no sound. Any thoughts???
Check the fuse for audio amplifier,
My radio will turn on but I can't get any sound?
U think disconnecting battery will help?
And/or how to reset it?
did you fix it? im having the same issue.
@@thevillaautosales2100 nope...no luck..:(
Alfredo Remigio ya lo compuso. Yo tengo el mismo. Problema. No se escucha.
having the same issue
So how do you reset sterio?????? 😨😨😨😧
Jim Reyes unplug the batterie for 10 min, don’t need remove the stereo
You’re welcome
What batterie are y’all talking about?
Benjamin Lopez the car battery, remove the negative at least 10min
What eas the problem with the radio? What troubleshooting steps did you do?
78ginop been through 6 disc head units. .Ford is aware but don't care. C'mon it's the 21st century. It's a god damn stereo. Been driving Ford since early 80s and am chocked at the quality and cost of the your product. This is what happens when it's sourced out of country. And the countries making these inferior parts are selling their products. With premium quality and our government gives them the break. Sell out..away 3rd disk unit. Going to put aftermarket unit in. Sync Sirius. Handsfree... need a double din. Faceplate needs swapped out.
I have a 2010 ford f150 the green screen turns off when I drive . How can I fix it?.
I just got my radio to start working in my 2011 ford f150 took the board out of radio put in oven at 110 for 10 minutes than raise oven to 385 left board in for another 8 minutes took it out waited one hour than put board back in radio put radio back in truck now radio works like new
I have 2011 Ford f 150 but the clock is flashing no sounds how can I fix but said sys battery low
yo tengo el mismo problema encontraste alguna solución ?
me too
i have a 2012 f 150 and my radio is not working. The clock flash but no sound, at the beginning of the trouble a big disturbing soud was coming out of my speaker, Does anyone had the same problem and did you solve it. Thank you
I have same issue. Idk what to do other than pull the unit out and plug it back in. If it doesn't work after that I'm gunna be lost..
@@brianpeniuk6202 did it work for you? Mine does the same
2012 F150 -exact same problem with the flashing clock but no sound and a big disturbing sound occasionally coming out of speakers for a few days. Now its completely dead and soundless. I might try to remove it and bake it in the oven. I read that they dont use lead in solder anymore and after a few years the connections separate as the new alloy shrinks or dries out or something. The baking melts it a bit and re-establishes connections. If that fails, I'm going to go aftermarket.
@@dougorr9862 I'm going aftermarket. Baking trick lasted 3 days and shit the bed. I'll just deal without the extra features.
@@engineer_alv didn't work had to bake board in the oven but it only lasted 3 days.
Thanks for the info. My radio won't power ON when I press the power button. The clock will flash briefly but that's it. Also, the clock will flash every now and then which makes me think there is a bad connection somewhere. I have read that the solder they use in these radios are crap. Is it worth taking the radio out and checking for a loose connection? Seems kind of pointless if the solder is bad in the radio, probably will just keep f*cking up over and over again.
Try smashing it with your fist.
Jordan Samson mine is doing the exact same thing you just described have you found a fix?
So far all I have done is take the stereo out after dismantling the dash... now the clock flashes constantly and nothing else works. Total pain in the ass at this point, and Ford wants $349 for the replacement factory stereo. I am going to spend my money on a much better stereo with touchscreen and bluetooth I guess.
Jordan Samson so did it end up working out for you putting in the touch screen. Cause I got the same problem
I’m having the exact same problem with my 2012 F150. Clock flashes all the time but nothing else works. I may just replace the stereo with an aftermarket touchscreen as well.
Isnt disconecting the battery easier
It doesnt always work. Sometimes you have to bake the motherboard in the oven for 8 min at 385f
So, disconnect my battery for 10 minutes to see if that fixes it before completely disassembling?
The Average Joe that’s what I got too lol
You can just pull the radio fuse for ten minutes instead and not have to deal with all the other probems disconnecting the battery can cause.
@@fhiggenbottom which fuse? The 2011 manual has several radio fuses
@@jrhaynes1967 The 2011 uses the same fuse configuration as all the 2009-2014 F-150 models, and fuse #29 powers the head unit. Here's a video that may help. ua-cam.com/video/zy7j89ZKrhg/v-deo.html
No help but thanks for trying
This doesn’t work in the slightest, ford radios are garbage, my 2012 radio went out and after some fiddling and furious percussive maintenance I have found that it is garbage. The dealership did not care they said it was owner fault and I told them to kick rocks and I’ll be moving towards a tundra in my next purchase, (more than a radio has driven me towards that). Ford has gone down the shitter in product reliability and customer service. Not even past 110k and my radio just dies. How does a radio just die? Terribly assembled with cheap products, not the Ford I grew up loving.
I agree with your Ford complaints but I’m still buying more Fords.
2006 f150 fird
my 2005 f150 has the 6 cd radio unit. It lights up and all buttons work, but no sound. Checked the two fuses and they are ok. Any ideas?

any luck with that i have the same issue
I have been utubing similar problems. have a 2007 with lights all out & now a 2010, Seems the problem in most are in the circuit board. The soldering comes loose & has to be resoldered orBaked in your oven. Process explained in other videos on here-utube. Reflowing the board. Doing my 2010 this week, @@anamm7023
