hi i have a 2008 ford mondeo 1.8 tdci titanium

 

the sony dab radio radio doesnt turn on or off with the key.i have tried to remove the fuse and entered the code but still no luck.

 

also the dashboard isnt showing the radio channels it only shows 2 options settings and trip computer

 

the voice button on the stalk does nothin.

any help would be great thanks

C28AA isn't a DTC

ok thanks

The problem is the stereo is no longer talking to the car so the dashboard won't display any radio info because it doesn't know the radio is there.

As for why that's happened I don't know, I see you've tried pulling the radio fuse but have you tried disconnecting the battery itself for a few minutes?

only got the car today.i disconnected the positive cable only ill completely disconnect it 2morrow cheers

disconnected both terminals on the battery no luck tho.

 

maybe im doing it wrong do i need to leave positive terminal on and disconnect the negative

 

the trip meter hasnt reset tho but clock did

 

also when i entered my radio code the channels where all still stored?

might be worth you looking into a program called Forscan.  It might give you some error codes so you can look up what the problem.  www.forscan.org

It's generally best practice to remove the negative terminal.

Yes this all happened on my Focus when I changed the battery. I was quite surprised the radio held its channels tbh.

Although both methods will achieve the same thing.

I have this same problem....anybody solve it yet?

Also same problem.. 

Hi. Has this radio issue been resolved yet?

I have the same problem. 

Any one sort out this issue??? I have this problem to! FORD MONDEO MK4! First time I had problems with wipers...doesn't stop from controller .... and now with the radio... is a electric problem but I don't know where. 

Same issue anyone got a fix. 

I have the same problem . Tried out ion test light to all wires on the back of the radio and seams like no power.

any one know which the power lead (colour wire) it should be going to the back 

2009 titanium x, Sony cd 

Brown/red. Should supply power via fuse f6 in footwell fusebox. 

Did any one get this issue fixed got same problem. Read on Google about pulling fuse f6 then refit.didnt work.

Take the front of radio heat up with heat gun 30 secs put back on sorted mine 

h

Had the same problem. Changed ignition switch (£22) working great now. Quite a simple job too.

I have a very sticky on / off switch on the radio… possibly something to do with that.

I manually have to pull it out, to get it to work again. Occasionally forget and find the radio keeps turning itself (& digital systems in the car) back on.

 

Car is 2017 smax vignale - Sony radio.

 

I've just had the same problem. EASY FIX HOLD THE OFF/ON BUTTON FOR 20 SECONDS. THE RADIO RESETS.
