Problem overview

Some Ford Mustang owners report experiencing a black screen issue with their radio, which can stem from several potential causes. One common solution involves resetting the radio by removing and reinserting the radio and amplifier fuse, which may resolve the unresponsive display. Others find that an outdated Ford Sync software can lead to a black screen, and updating the system can help rectify this problem. Additionally, some owners discover that faulty cords contribute to the issue, and troubleshooting by attaching and detaching these cords may yield a solution. Furthermore, inspecting the wiring in the rear trunk, particularly the loom, is crucial, as stretched cables may need replacement to prevent display issues. If the black screen persists despite these attempts, consulting a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair is recommended.
