2010 Fiesta dash control panel, 2 buttons what do they do?

[Oldman2]

We have a 2010 ford fiesta, the radio stopped working, it was the facia panel with all the controls & on off button that had failed.

The replacement 2nd hand that I fitted has 2 extra control buttons at the bottom either side of the door lock/unlock. These 2 buttons rock and have a straight line and curved line on each.

Yes I did try pushing them 😉 nothing I could see happened?

They're used as input buttons to the user interface on the radio. When you use the radio screen , the 4 options at the bottom are controlled to the respective position buttons on the panel.

Eg if you have the radio on, they'd be to change the station, show the information about the station, AM/FM etc.

At least that's what they do on my car

Ahh, thanks very much Matt. Its my daughters car and I only get to see it when it is broken. So she may have bonus controls now then 🙂

I bought a 2nd hand radio/bluetooth module and controls facia, not knowing which was faulty on her's. I disconnected all the parrot loom, tried the new radio, no joy, fitted the new facia too and all good, refitted parrot, still all good so job done.
