Stock Stereo Problems
I've got a curious problem with my stock stereo in my 2003 F250.
The radio won't turn on when I first get in the truck but say 25-30 minutes in to a drive it will suddenly start working & be fine until I turn the truck off.
The other strange thing is the clock won't light up until I turn the lights on.
I've checked the fuses associated with the radio & they appeared fine but changed them anyways but it didn't help.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

'03- You should find some Ford Radio removal keys...
Insert a tool into each pair of holes on the front side of the radio.
Push the tools all the way in (sometimes you can hear a click)
Pull/push outward from center with the tools While pulling back.
The radio should be sliding out at this point.

- Sometimes there are fuses in the fusebox that don't appear to be associated with the radio, but they are.
- The issue that you describe with the clock/lights is usually a different fuse, not associated with the radio.
Check all of the fuses in the fusebox.
