SOURCE: Radio Not Working

There are 3 fuses in the interior fuse panel that feeds radio.
no. 11(10amp) is ignition switch power to the radio it comes into radio on the TN/LB wire.
no. 27 (10amp) is hot at all times and comes in on OG/LG wire.
no. 12 (5amp) is hot in run or accessory and comes in on YE/BK wire.
Check these with 12V test light at fuse and at radio connector.

SOURCE: replaced battery - need to reset clock / radio won't play

Yes.. your problem is a micomp (micro computer) issue. There is a communication problem between the micomp and the touchscreen. Replace the micomp.

SOURCE: Our vehicles battery went dead

If the stereo is a factory stereo,you need to call Ford dealer to get the unlock code,this is common with many different makes.As far as the rest,when a battery is replaced,different makes have certain methods required to "reset" the systems.I do not know why they do it.Is it really going to deter theft,you know what I mean?Anyhow,ask the dealer if that applies to your vehicle too,a reset.Tell them you replaced the battery and all the rest what you told me.
Good luck! Greg

Every time i start the car it resets the clock

The clock and radio memory use a different power source than the radio - - that source is not controlled by the key switch. I would check the fuses first to see if you blew one that is hot all the time.

probably a fuse, unless its an aftermarket radio that lost complete memory mode, and need to be re coded to work. the easiest way to check this is to look for the power wire, on your car its a blue wire with a yellow stripe for the battery one, and a gray wire for the ignition one that supply the radio with 12 volts, see if they have power,

A loose cable end can cause all those things to happen. You should clean the cable ends and the battery post and tighten them up and see if that works for you a loose battery connection can cause a lot of problems.
