With the Explorer running, turn the radio OFF.
Turn off the car and leave it for a while.
Turn the car back on and try to turn the radio ON.
More times than not pressing the powr button in MFT will click but not turn the radio ON.
If I leave the radio ON and turn off the car it will turn ON when I start the car.
The only times I have had the radio fail is when I turn it off before shutting down the car.
T have a travel trailer and when backing up I would turn the radio OFF so I could hear my wife's directions. This is what led me to narrow down the problem.
I have not performed a master reset. I hate losing all my customizations.
I took my Explorer to the dealer for oil change and tire rotation.
I brought up the radio issue, but it was working at that time. The service writer said there was a procedure to reboot the system and upload new firmware.
Radio problem is not intermittent anymore. Now it just doesn't work!
Dealer tried to upload new firmware and just gets errors. They are trying to get in contact with Ford Engineering but meanwhile they have my new car and most likely will have it till some time next week.
I am not pleased!
