Group,



No sound out of the speakers.


95 F350 diesel. The radio and the CD works, can select stations, tracks, volume, balance, fade all are adjustable but no sound. I swapped the radio with another Ford radio, the same problem. I have check all radio connections.

Radio numbers F5TF-18C815-AA Altec Electronics. This all happened two, three weeks after body repairs were done to the right side. I got an 8 point buck last November with the right front bumper, grill, fender, passengers door, running board and rear passenger door. $2800 later the truck was fine. The body shop did not get into the dash, remove the fender or doors, so they say. Questions, is there a fuse link, inline amp, a plug or something I should be looking for. I'm getting tired of talking to myself, after all these months I'm starting to repeat storied to myself. Any advice would be helpful.



Two weeks after I got my buck my wife got a doe with her Escape. Here in Wisconsin you are to earn a buck by getting a doe first.


Thanks

Looking at my Ford service CD I find:

The standard Radio directly drives the speakers. The Premium Sound System Radio feeds signals to a separate amplifier which drives the speakers. The amplifier is located behind the radio on a bracket on the instrument panel. It appears the amplifier is supplied power from an engine compartment fuse box (left-hand fender) 20a fuse A to a LG/P wire and is listed as always hot. That wire also feeds the compact disc radio. Another possibility is that one or more of the speakers is shorted to ground which can shut down the amplifier.

Also if the speakers get wet they will no longer work properly. The diaphragm changes in size and does not create proper vibrations that your ears pick up. But this should clear up once they dry out?
