Ford Sync Gone Wrong Within 1 Week!!

[RaceRedFiesta]

Hello Everyone!

I picked up my new fiesta on the 12th of august. The sync worked fine until my phone ran out of battery whilst i was calling someone, ever since then the sync will not connect with my phone again!!

Every time i get in the car with bluetooth turned on the car just says in her mechanical voice "phone disconnected" I tried master reset and everything i could but no luck yet.

I've been to the dealership and spent two hours waiting around whilst they took my phone and tried to find the problem. When i got fed up of waiting and asked where my car was they brought it round and told me they need to order a new part for it!

Obviously my car is still under warranty but it makes me worry that more might go wrong with it.

Does anyone know of this problem or an easier fix? i really don't want to have to leave my car with the dealership for a day when i work 7 days a week :(

Did you try disconnecting the cars battery for a few minutes?

[RaceRedFiesta]

No I haven't yet, will defiantly try that in the morning. I have no idea about all this new tech, didnt want to reset or disconnect anything without knowing what i was doing.

My old car was a Peugeot which i hated and before that i had the old focus 2002 model, amazing car until the ECU went :'(

You don't need to disconnect the battery, just lower the glovebox & remove fuse 24 for a couple of minutes. Then pair your phone again.

Thank you, are the fuses labeled?

I read another post saying they its quite hard to see which one is which.

Hi, I think there is no need to panic, sync is a new technology thus there will be issues with certain phones that will come about and need updates to be applied. We do not have any pairing issues with both of our phones...

Thank you it worked!

Its working perfectly again now, no idea why the dealership thinks it needs this whole new part.

Typical Dealers.

If in doubt, throw parts at the problem until it goes away.

Yep! took my boyfriends Audi to the dealership when it had a small dent in the door, just wanted to see what they would say, they told us it needed a whole new door!! what a joke!!
