- 2014 Ford Explorer Sport
I have a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport.
ACM module died, and became a brick.
my ford touch screen, 3 quadrants would work fine, but entertainment(bottom left quadrant was unresponsive. no volume control, no radio, no sync, no bluetooth, etc.
Also discovered that the dead ACM was the cause of a parasitic draw, flattening the battery in a few months.
i bought a replacement ACM.
installed this ACM.
now i have every function back. the quadrant is responsive, voice controls work, bluetooth works....
but i have no sound. i can see the volume turn up, turn down, voice prompts work through sync, etc. but no sound.
i have:
checked fuses to the amp, and radio
i have updated the software (was 3.6.1, now is 3.10)
i have banged my head against the steering wheel.
2 possibilities i see:
1. something is dead between the ACM and the speakers...
2. the acm isnt fully compatible with my vehicle?
the acm part number that came out of the vehicle:
eb5t-19c107-ea
the new acm part number:
eb5t-19c107-ha (from what i understood this is a newer version, and the flash drive update would have addressed this?)
beyond this, i am lost.
i put it to you wonderful explorer people to help me out! thank you
