No stereo after battery disconect

[VPS]

I disconnected the battery this weekend to perform some maintenance, after reconnecting the cable I find the factory Mach stereo has no power. None of the lights illuminate and when I turn on the power switch nothing. I checked all fuses and they are fine. Anybody expirenence this??

Did you check to see if there was power at the fuse?

I have not checked to see if there is power at the fuse yet. I thought maybe this was some security feature theft deterant that required some inside knowledge to reset???

Back when I had a factory HU, I disconnected the battery many times for computer resets, etc., and never had a problem.

Good luck.....

never heard of a security feature on the ford HU, check the wiring to the fuse, and to the battery block

I did not check the fuses on the power distribution block under the hood, just checked the fuses on the driver side dash, my bad. I am going to check the power distribution under the hood. Will let you know the outcome.

Don't just look at fuses, check for 12 v power.

Bad news, checked for power at every fuse and 12V is available. Potential problem with head unit or power from fuse block to head unit.
