Rimmer1984 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hello all people! I recently bought a ford focus, 3 days ago the stereo just lost power an will not come back on. Background info- I've checked the fuse My iPhone is always concocted to it and at the time it went off I tried to connect a friends blackberry, do know if this relates to the problem but it's the only thing that I done different. Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabz77 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Is it an aftermarket stereo? And if it is, do you have controls on the steering wheel that controls the radio? If you answer yes to both of these questions then you probably have a faulty canbus module that is fitted from the radio to the steering wheel controls. I oan a mk7 Fez and have an aftermarket unit that decided to stop working after a few months, it turned out the aftermarket canbus module that was fitted was faulty - something to do with the power from the ignition wasn't enough, anyway to rectify the problem the installer fitted a new canbus module BUT he also fitted a relay - problem solved.

Rimmer1984 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thank you for your reply, I don think that whatever the problem is it's going to be fixed by me is it, think it's going to have to go back to ford :-( oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 check to see if the cables have come loose from the back of the radio. then get a multimeter and check to see if 12v is going down the red and yellow cables. if there isnt, its a wiring issue. if there is...new headunit...also check the fuse on the back of headunit.

Rimmer1984 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 They said they have to order a new unit.... 2 to 3 weeks... So no music in the car till then can't say I'm very happy about it but nothing I can do really is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickety Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oh joy, whilst driving home this evening my radio suddenly went dead - no power to central screen, radio, bluetooth, voice, etc, etc. Fuse is OK, sounds like I've got the same problem as you. Only had the car a week, hope it's not going to be like this for the next 3 years...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
