Radio volume control fail?
 

My 2007 F-150 has the dreaded volume control fail. Seems this is an ongoing Ford problem, as I have seen the same failure in other Ford vehicles. Happens in Pam's 2003 Taurus, for one, and my brother's previous F-150.

When listening to the radio, and turning the volume control knob, nothing happens. Or the volume goes up when turning it down. Or goes down when turning up.

So why do manufacturers carry problems so long? Remember the old window-winder cranks on GM vehicles? The knobs always fell off, yet GM continued the same design for like twenty years.

Is there a fix for the radio problem?

Maybe I need to increase the volume. :-X04

I don't know about a permanent fix. I have the same issue once or maybe twice in the 7 years I have owned my F-150. However, I also had this problem once recently with a Kenwood I bought less than A year ago for another vehicle. In all cases the short term "fix" was to turn off the vehicle for a period of time then fire back up (restting of radio's computer controls).

Anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix, other than replacement of the entire unit?
