Ford Expedition radio no audio issue with intermittent operation related to start-stop feature on Ford Expedition

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing radio issues, including intermittent operation that may be linked to the start-stop feature. These owners have noted that the radio display can go blank after the vehicle has been stationary for a while, which could be due to a blown fuse, loose or corroded wiring, or a malfunctioning radio. Additionally, some report the radio blinking on and off with one side of the screen appearing darker, suggesting a more specific electrical problem. To troubleshoot, it is recommended that owners first ensure the radio is powered on and not muted; if problems persist, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery may help. In instances where sound is absent, checking and replacing blown fuses, inspecting signal wires, and addressing faulty connections are advised, with further assistance from a mechanic recommended if issues continue. Lastly, some owners find that performing a hard reset of the DSP by disconnecting the 12-volt battery and reprogramming the DSP module with a Ford diagnostic scan tool can effectively resolve certain audio issues.
