This instruction video was well done. I got the serial number from a ford dealership and went on ebay to get the unit. I suspect junk yards will also carry the unit. It took me about an hour to install , test , and finish. Cost me around 75 dollars. Much thanks for putting this excellent video together!
Sent mine to automotive circuit solutions got it back in about a week and it works and comes with a lifetime warranty. Why replace it with the same defective unit? It seems like they are all failing from the little research I did.
My 2018 explorer won’t even allow me into the audio tab, I can tap it and it shows it’s responding to the touch, but it’s still not doing anything, fuses are fine. I DID JUST swap the battery because it was dead (very cold winter week, -48•C)
You will need to match the part number on the one in your car, to a new (used) one. You will have to pull it out first to see what the serial # is on the one in the car

Same issue with my wifes 2018 Edge. Found a few used ACM's on eBay for under $50.
They need to recall. So many of these are lemons.
The transmission gave up in this one at 137k. Probably 6 months after this video lol
where did you buy the Audio Control Module? or how did you replace it? somebody fixed it?
Did you watch the video? Lol.
Got a used one from the junkyard
What did you check to make sure it is the right one? @@Slow_Six
@@danielstonehouse6261 pull the one out of your car. It has a part number on it
I can't get those antenna wires off. Do you think it would be okay to just splice in the new one.
I used a pair of needle nose pliers to get them off. You probably could try to splice them but I can't guarantee it would still work lol
Pull and replace fuse f67 in the passenger footwell fuse box (7.5 amps). That’s all it took for mine to start working again.
Tried that. Didn't work. It was the ACM.

Cost. This was $48 from a junkyard.

We had similar symptoms. Do your door chimes work still ?
Do you know the part number? I have the same year with the same problem

Thank you!!!
How long before that one fails? They are all failing
@@algibason4389 it worked for about 7 months. We sold this car (transmission died) but the radio was still working when we sold it.
@@Slow_Six what happened? Did the transmission just died? How many miles? My wife has the same car and same problem with the acm
I have a Similar issue, but I can switch inputs. Zero sound zero beep nothing
It's likely the same issue then
Had a similar issue. Removed wires from my battery, attached again and problem disappeared
Didn't work for me. Also tried pulling the radio fuse.
@@Slow_Six I guess it’s just ford being ford 🥲
@@JohnDoe_Poland replacing the ACM worked for us.
@@Slow_Six good you found the fix guys! 🤝🏼
