Could be to late. Could have blow the BCM. Unhook the radio and see if the other things start working. If they do, your lucky. Then find some to hook up the radio. I can install radios, but I use a volt /ohm meter. You can not trust the diagrams the radios come with. Or the diagrams I buy.

The fuse you want to check is the F1-17 fuse in the battery junction box. This is the radio fuse.
The number F1-17 fuse is the red/yellow power wire at the radio. If the fuse is good pull the radio and check the red/yellow wire for power in, if you have power in , then suspect a bad radio.My next step would be to remove the radio and check the power wire going into the radio (red/yellow) . If you have power there, then the radio is likely bad. Ford has had major problems with the radios.

There is a fuse in the wiring behind the radio, it's a straight fuse in a wiring line, not the kind from the fuse box. I would say to pull the radio (I'm not sure how on your specific car, sorry) and check that fuse. If you google how to remove the radio it will give step by step directions. If you don't want to do it yourself, take it to your local radio shop, they will be able to fix it quickly and it shouldn't cost alot for them to diagnose it and fix it. Good Luck!

You can grade me on step one.
1.) Find the fuse panel inside the car and check the radio and cigarette lighter fuse(s). If your fuses are OK, then:
2.) Remove the radio from the dash to have it checked.

replace the fuse if its broken or u might need to check the fuse of the radio itself if it has one. if it still not working then u might need a radio replacement

a bad fuse ...keep looking .....otherwise the main acc power/ or ground to all those dash areas has been cut or compromised...retrace your steps backwards

Ok so I did resolve the problem with my radio. I pulled the fuse out thinking maybe replacing that was my first step. I didn't have a spare fuse of that kind, so I just put the fuse back in. And my radio started working! Start with the fuse, if that doesn't work the radio prob needs to be replaced.
