Try your dealer, or search here for similar issues. not long ago there was a web site that had "radio security codes"
no help, go to your ford dealer, they will look it up based on vehicle vin number if stereo was a factory install.
Try pressing the number one numerous times it worked on my audi factory stereo if not I sugest youtube or google search and check out for tge make of the stereo
sounds the like the vehicle had an oem amplifier that was removed, most after market stereo installers will trace the speakers wires individually by continuity to by pass the factory amplifier and wire the new head unit to the vehicles speakers, if the harness has been spliced or factory amp removed, you will need to check if the amplifier still exists (usually under passenger rear seat sometimes located in trunk area) and see if the harness has been bypassed. if so you will have to reconnect the harness by color code in order to use the factory head unit
you can buy,well we can,adaptor plugs to connect to the h/unit and to the wiring loom plug.normally its yellow=constant power 12v +,red=ignition feed 12v+,[some are other way round]black=earth,blue=power antennae,grey/greyblack,RF speaker,white/whiteblack,LH speaker,Purple/purple black,RR speaker andgreen/green black LR,,orange =illumination dash lights.Those are our standard colour codings,we get in New Zealand.
you need to wait 24hrs (radio swithed on)to see if you can re-enter the propper code if not a local i.c.e/radio shop should be able to bypass the code system.
Yes i can solve your problem first you must have the proper radio code 4 numbers and shut off engine and leave radio on with key on accessory with it displaying off leave it the radio on for 3 hours then enter the proper code and it should work fine THIS IS THE FACTORY PROCEDURE
