Mark M Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 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?

gg1234635 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this all happened on my Focus when I changed the battery. I was quite surprised the radio held its channels tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexham des Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 h Had the same problem. Changed ignition switch (£22) working great now. Quite a simple job too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristshowboy Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 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.
