Ford Audio/Video System :: 2003 F150 - No Power To CD
I just purchased a 2003 F150 with the factory CD / Cassette player. 3l3t-18c868-ac ... There is absolutely no power to the stereo, the one fuse I found in the owners manual that says its for the stereo is still good.
Why I have no power, or other places I should be looking. Also, need a pin out for the radio so I can apply power to it on my bench so I can see if it even powers up?
Then the next thing would be which wire in the harness in the dash that I unplugged is for power so I can test with a multi meter if its getting power? My fear is there is a bad power wire, but maybe I can run another power line to it from another source and get it to work.

View 1 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: 2008 F150 - Radio And Steering Wheel Control Harness?
I have an 08 f150. Doing an Alpine iva w203 head unit. The back of the factory radio has two harness plugs, one is bigger than the other. A third plug is the ant. which needs an adapter too....but the root question is...... The bigger of the two is the harness that adapts to plug into the new unit, what is the second OEM smaller plug for that has no spot to plug into the alpine unit? does it just sit there not plugged in now?
Is the second smaller plug for the steering wheel controls? is this where I connect the SWI-JACK adapter that allows the steering wheel controls from the truck to go to the radio? if so, where do i find a harness adapter to plug into this second OEM harness?
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2008 - Sirius Stopped Working
2008 F250 KR Superduty with full Nav, CD, DVD,Sirius..... So one day last week I get in my truck and no sound from the radio (yes I adjusted the volume) when on Sat Radio. Changed it to FM, no problem worked great, AM same thing worked great. Navigation no problem, CD jammed to ZZ Top. Back to Sat radio and nothing. Called Sirius, account up to date (wife and sons car radio still working), sent reset signal 3 times, no go. So I played around and finally just turned to volume all the way to Max and I could hear a faint sound of music. So radiophiles WHATS WRONG WITH MY SAT RADIO!

I have a 1999 F-350 crew cab. I have a fusion active bass tube in the back, and my family went to Tahoe, so I took out all the bass tube but the wires had to be left in the truck. I thought I capped the wires but I guess I didn't or the cap came off. Anyways, I was plugging the wires back into the bass tube when I got home and there was a big spark, I think the ground wire and the wire connected to the battery touched. Now the radio does not work at all. I'm guessing I blew a fuse, I don't know how to fix it, or what fuse that would need to be replaced.
View 2 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: 2007 - How To Replace Door Speakers And Wiring
I have a 2007 Lariat Screw
I've read that some people are replacing their door speakers like I want to do and reporting much better sound. My question is now that I realize I have the audiophile system, it is still worth swapping these speakers and will it be better sound? I bought 2 pairs of Pioneer TS-A6886R 6x8's.
I had a 98 Lexus GS 400 and I upgraded the stereo with an head unit, amp and all the door speakers and disconnected the subwoofer and actually liked how it sounded. I guess the upgraded speakers were so much better that the subwoofer wasn't needed.
So Should I try to bypass the factory tweeters and subwoofer and run everything into these newer supposedly better 4 way speakers in the door? Or just plug in the new speakers and let tem act as mid ranges?
BTW Do I need to remove entire door panel or just grills? It seems pretty straight forward for wiring. Anything I should know?
Ford Audio/Video System :: 1977 F100 - FM Working Fine But AM Works Only By Jiggling Antenna
I have a 77 ford f100 I am restoring. I have two factory am/fm radios. I bench test both with antenna male plug all the way in, and the fm works fine on both radios. The only way to get am to work, is to slide the male antenna plug all the way out till it is just touching, then if I jiggle it, the radio plays.

Well after install many of stero's,wiring phone system,etc I though I could install powerlocks on my 07 f150 xl.
I have a basic understanding on how this alarm works but I have a few questions. First her is the diagrams I have to look at. [URL] ....
Like I said I have installed the power locks in the door panels but I do not know how to hook them up the the brain. Do i use relays? or do I just connect a lock wire and a unlock wire to the lock motor? If I do use a relay do Can i daisy chain the unlock output and the lock output?
Once I can get that figured out I just wire the rest of the brain up to the information I have for the wiring diagram for my truck. 12V to the ignation, Find lights,etc...
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Audio System Won't Read Some Flash Drive MP3 Files?
I downloaded several mp3 files from Amazon and loaded them on a flash drive to use in my 2011 ES350 audio system. The flash drive is plugged into the USB port in the center console, and CD/Aux is selected to play the files. The weird thing is that although most files play, there is a few don't. There are folders for the non-playing music files, and a file is indicated in each, but after a short display of the folder/file number, the player skips on to the next folder without playing anything. Is there something I can do to get the "silent" files to play?

I was adding some CD music to my jukebox on the stock 2010 Ford NAV radio today. I hit the eject button, but the disc did not come out. I tried hitting eject a few times with no luck. Only once when I hit the eject button did it make any noise like it was trying to eject. The screen read "Eject Error". How to get the disc out?
View 1 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: Bluetooth Audio Automatically Plays Music
2013 F-250. Sync. No navigation. I am able to pair my Android cell phone to the truck and all works fine. Can send and receive calls using the voice commands etc. I am also able to play music from my bluetooth enabled LG V10 android cell phone. When I start the truck, it automatically detects my cell phone, connects to it and begins playing music from my cell phone through the truck stereo. And therein lies the problem.
My question is, is there a way to tell the truck to go ahead and connect to the cell phone, but don't start playing music. In other words, I don't want the truck to launch the music player on my cell phone. I always have to either turn off the player on my cell phone or give the "pause" command through bluetooth audio.
Ford Audio/Video System :: 2006 F350 - Auxiliary Input / Screen Reads No AUX Audio
On my '06 XL F350 I want to know if and how I can hook up an auxiliary input. It has the AUX button ,but it doesn't have any aux audio port in the dash anywhere like some of the nicer F-series have. When I push the AUX button, the screen reads "NO AUX AUDIO". Is there an adapter I can buy to plug in the back so I can actually have and auxiliary input?
