Sync Bluetooth and USB failure.

So the stereo, non-gps, will no longer allow pairing. It’s stuck in a Bluetooth off loop. Try to pair, says BT is off, opt to turn it on, go to pair, days BT is off. Connect via usb and it says no media. Ive cleared all pairings, deleted sync on phones, master reset, no joy.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks.

Try taking the negative battery cable loose for about 60 seconds then reconnecting it. Mine was doing the same thing and this worked for me.

Thanks for that. Was hoping the time it takes to disco the batteries would be profitable. i'll give it a whirl.

Victory! Thanks, leadmic. That's twice now in 7 years I've had to do that.

Oh the joys of Microsoft SYNC!!! Worst thing Ford ever did aside from that Mustang II fiasco.

Your lucky I have to do it at least once a year, the sticker on the dash says it all Microsoft

everything they get their hands on has to be hard booted to make it keep on working.

There is usually something that causes it. The truck had been acting weird leading up to it (entry seat adjustment would activate randomly, music settings would reset to default) but we were out shooting, i left the truck running but kept my phone on me and I think the bluetooth toggling on/off with the truck was the ultimate demise.
