Ford Stereo No Display - Repair - Car Stereo HELP

[michaelhartzell]

Just bought a Ford Edge with no display but told dealer to find a replacement and I'd pay so much. He couldn't or wasn't urgent to buy a new face plate. I tackled it and really it took longer to get radio apart that to fix it. Great video and just proves you can do anything with a little bit of determination!

Thank you very much, I can’t tell you how incredibly frustrating this issue was! Re-soldered all those connections and worked perfectly!!!

I just fixed my 2011 F350 radio display thanks to you making this video - over a year of a blank screen - I look forward to driving it even more. I had to pop the screen off twice to find and solder the bad joint, but would've never tried it without your video - THANK YOU!

Found & re-soldered loose resistor for a successful repair!!! Thanks for the concise assistance.

I'm not much of a solder person but with your instructions, and careful work, I was able to fix my radio and avoid the $400+ install of a replacement. Thanks for the help.

[randallmarshall]

Thank you! Another successful fix here. I saw no obvious cracks or movement in any joint so I resoldered all of the points you mentioned and it worked perfectly. My radio matched your radio in my 2013 F250.

Can't thank you enough for the video and info! Worked like a charm and I have never soldered before even though I had a soldering iron laying around. Paid for itself 10x over by doing this once repair :)

Excellent video. Just bought a 2012 F250 with same radio that the display didn't work. Got them to knock off an additional grand. 15 mins later after watching this video I have a fully working radio display! Thanks!

This worked!!!! I soldered all large resistors and display using a Home Depot Weller iron with thin solder and some Pb Free flux. Works perfect now. The first "2 little ends he noted" were my issue as all cold solder joints.
At all 4 corners, the 2 pins are connected so just blob the pairs together.
Thanks Factory Car Stereo Repair!

Really appreciate people that take the time to share things like this. I have tossed several Ford radios but never again. Thank you.

Can’t thank you enough for the great info! It fixed mine. I went and bought a $5 solder from harbour freight and tried it. You saved me a ton of money and headache! Thankyou again!

WoW! merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique vidéo, On me demandait $600 CDN pour réparer ou remplacer ma radio mais grâce à votre vidéo ça m'a coûté $0, 00 et 40 minutes de mon temps. J'admire beaucoup ceux qui prennent la peine d'aider comme vous l'avez fait. merci encore

This works. Just did it. Got sick and tired of getting into older trucks with radios not working and dealing with asking company to pay upwards of a 1000 for a radio.

This is a great video!!

We have an '07 Fusion where (for years) the radio display would fade and then disappear. After watching this video, and after removing the faceplate, I looked at each of the faceplate connections with a jeweler's loupe. I found the solder connections of the four flat resistors were cracked across. I just resoldered those four resistors, and now the display works again!!!

Thanks for this video!

[smadaguod]

WOW! It worked! I followed your instructions exactly. I had no display and i was ready to spend four hundred $ to replace it. I re-soldered your recommended points on the circuit board. I did not find a loose one, so I did not know if I fixed it. So I re-installed the radio and it WORKS! Thank you very much for your video.

[uriahtolbert]

Just want to say thank you! I took about an hour doing this tonight and it worked! I wanted to take my time and it proved to be true!

[richardwoodruff]

Thank you - I soldered all the large resistors and my display reappeared!

[Jrios]

Dude, Thank you, this was the exact issue with my stereo, and it worked. Im very grateful this video exist, it saved me a ton of money.
