Radio quit working - Diesel Forum

Today I noticed my radio quit working. All I get is static on all AM and FM stations. The CD player still works fine. I've turned it on and off several times and scrolled through the menu to see if something was set wrong.

Anybody having this problem.

Maybe the antennae came loose from the back?

Antennae sounds like it to me as well.

I'd say antenna as well, but there should be enough tension on that plug that it SHOULDN'T do that. I'd say pull your radio out of your dash to see if the plug to the radio is loose. If it's not loose, then I'd check the antenna mast.

Or.... just take it to your stealership. On my last truck (albeit a Nissan), I got them to replace my radio without keeping the truck to do an "analysis".... if you stand ground with Ford I'm sure you can get them to do a quick fix.
