This is clearly a problem with the head unit. What I would do is replace it (or both) with an aftermarket stereo. You can get one for less than $100. You will probably need an adapter plate and pigtail for the wiring. You can get everything online. Let me know if you need help. I live in Lompoc.
Usually once you remove the outer trim you access the bolts that hold the radio in, some Fords have 4 small holes around the outside of the radio that you have to insert release tools to unlatch the radio and remove it from it's mount.
pull the knobs off there will b 2 nuts holding the radio in place 1 on the volume knob 1 on the channel selector remove them if the radio does not pull out loosen the back brace at rear of radio unplug wiring harness and antenna and its out
Just try to spray contact cleaner in it thru volume control knob area by removing knob outward.The proper way is cleaning by spraying in the audio control switch from inside but because it is bit difficult job,Hope it will solve the issue.
If your on/off button is also the volume control. Pull on the knob as you turn the volume up and down threw this section, don't pull so hard that you pull it off the radio. Do this a few tims it seem to work for me when I get static at the control knob. It either gets dirty in there or corrossion, or just a bad contact. Usually it's when the volume and on/off button are the same button.
Without seeing the car this can only be my best guess.
The exhaust runs out of the engine then between the engine and trans then right under the middle of the car, check your exhaust, look for missing or broken hangers.
The factory radio is ****, Ebay has many factory replacements, it seems the volume knob always fails first. To remove the unit go to your local Advance Auto or like and get the Ford radio removing kit, it's 2 bent wires O_o!
You should be able to pull the knob out straight. If the knob is broken then you should be able to use a small dental pick to get the piece out of the radio.
first of all if you live in a cold climate I never turn the radio on until the car warms up if you can remove the knob on the radio spray a light amount of WD 40 and then put the knob back on and turn it back and forth and if you have pop on your hand or water also dry your hands off before touching the radio the lights and the radio will last a lot longer also and also before leaving the car always remember to turn the radio off it will be alot easier on your battery as well
