'13 F350 Stereo Fail and Resurection
I'm driving home and noticed there were no tunes. Huh? Musta turned it off last time I got out.
Nope. The on/off button below the screen didn't work, the touch screen was alive, sorta. I could turn it on but no volume. The steering wheel controls didn't work at all.
I was getting sick to my stomach and a bit dizzy thinking about a trip to the dealer. "We're gonna install a new head unit, replace the amps and speakers. The old air in your tires has gone bad and all 4 tires are about to fail. Don't worry we'll mount 5 new Premium tires and fill them with our new long-life all natural air blend. We've discovered all the ethyl-methyl chickenwire connectors are corroded and need replacing. There's only about 80 or so, won't be too bad....."
Before I started cutting my wrists with a fast-food plastic spoon I decided to pull some relevant fuses. Pulled #'s 19, 24, 26 and 29. Put 'em back and gave the key a twist, just like magic it was all working again.
Even tho I've been told many times a reboot won't help my situation, I like to try it anyway.
