Good morning fellow ford fans.

I have just purchased my second mondeo 2.2 tdci st. My first one was sadly written off after a member of the fire service busy on his phone plowed into me.

It is a 2007 on a 56 plate only has 79000 on the clock, has had loads of work done recently, bearings shocks, breaks tyres.

everything seems to be ok.

but

the Sony head unit flickers? Ie the lights on it seem to flash on and off, not rapidly at first, but it does gain momentum the longer I'm driving. 

Please help me me fix this issue, a Google search found one result which didn't help, but I'm sure if I knew the real name of the problem id get more results.

 

Thanking you in advance.

    Does the head unit work as it should? If so then I would guess it's most likely a problem with the head unit and a simple swap over for a new one would be the fix.

    Apart from the head unit being faulty is there any other reasons please?

    I can't see why as the head unit has an ignition live and permant live, if there was a problem with the supply to the head unit it wouldn't work at all.

    To me it sounds like a dodgy power issue to me. Does it get worse if it's bumpy?
    I'd have the head unit out and check it's grounded correctly and that there's no split/cracks in the power wires going in and out.

    If the music playing is not interrupted as its flickering then it suggests it could maybe be more of a problem with the radios display than power supply to the unit.
