Found & re-soldered loose resistor for a successful repair!!! Thanks for the concise assistance.

Really appreciate people that take the time to share things like this. I have tossed several Ford radios but never again. Thank you.

I just fixed my 2011 F350 radio display thanks to you making this video - over a year of a blank screen - I look forward to driving it even more. I had to pop the screen off twice to find and solder the bad joint, but would've never tried it without your video - THANK YOU!

Just bought a Ford Edge with no display but told dealer to find a replacement and I'd pay so much. He couldn't or wasn't urgent to buy a new face plate. I tackled it and really it took longer to get radio apart that to fix it. Great video and just proves you can do anything with a little bit of determination!

Can't thank you enough for the video and info! Worked like a charm and I have never soldered before even though I had a soldering iron laying around. Paid for itself 10x over by doing this once repair :)

Thank you very much, I can’t tell you how incredibly frustrating this issue was! Re-soldered all those connections and worked perfectly!!!

Thank you! Another successful fix here. I saw no obvious cracks or movement in any joint so I resoldered all of the points you mentioned and it worked perfectly. My radio matched your radio in my 2013 F250.

Excellent video. Just bought a 2012 F250 with same radio that the display didn't work. Got them to knock off an additional grand. 15 mins later after watching this video I have a fully working radio display! Thanks!

Can’t thank you enough for the great info! It fixed mine. I went and bought a $5 solder from harbour freight and tried it. You saved me a ton of money and headache! Thankyou again!

Absolutely riveting. Appropriate detail. Great voice. A template for all KZread instructors. Made me a hero.

I've been putting off doing this for like a year... Finally did it and was way easier than I was thinking, took hardly any time. I'm so happy it worked!

Just finished repairing my 2011 F250 radio thanks to you. Great video and the right bottom resistor moved just like you stated as it would, telling me that it hadn't been soldered properly. Thanks again!

This video was spot on! He gave all that was necessary to bring back my display. Best and only video you need to correct this issue. Thank you so much.

This worked!!!! I soldered all large resistors and display using a Home Depot Weller iron with thin solder and some Pb Free flux. Works perfect now. The first "2 little ends he noted" were my issue as all cold solder joints. At all 4 corners, the 2 pins are connected so just blob the pairs together. Thanks Factory Car Stereo Repair!

Working on my new 2010 Ford Edge project and this fixed my radio. Works flawlessly now!😎👍 Thanks for posting this!

Thank you - I soldered all the large resistors and my display reappeared!

dunno if anyone gives a shit but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my gfs Instagram account using InstaPlekt. Just google for it if you wanna try it

Perfect explanation...I fixed it first time...Bravo and Thank You!

Just want to say thank you! I took about an hour doing this tonight and it worked! I wanted to take my time and it proved to be true!

I'm not much of a solder person but with your instructions, and careful work, I was able to fix my radio and avoid the $400+ install of a replacement. Thanks for the help.

Thank youuuuu!!!!!!! It’s been 3 years without display lights and now I fixed them 🥰😌 I’m so happy thank you!!!

My husband and I just finished repairing our radio thanks to your video! Thank you so much!

Wow there really is a KZread video for every mundane, random thing you could need, and this one is just the one I needed! Followed these steps a month ago and it's worked ever since. Thanks!

This is a great video!! We have an '07 Fusion where (for years) the radio display would fade and then disappear. After watching this video, and after removing the faceplate, I looked at each of the faceplate connections with a jeweler's loupe. I found the solder connections of the four flat resistors were cracked across. I just resoldered those four resistors, and now the display works again!!! Thanks for this video!

Awesome, thanks! Wife hasn't had a display for years. Touched up the 6 main surface mount resistors, and back in business!

Omg this was awesome. It totally worked. Can't thank you enough! 3 years no display over!

This works. Just did it. Got sick and tired of getting into older trucks with radios not working and dealing with asking company to pay upwards of a 1000 for a radio.

WoW! merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique vidéo, On me demandait $600 CDN pour réparer ou remplacer ma radio mais grâce à votre vidéo ça m'a coûté $0,00 et 40 minutes de mon temps. J'admire beaucoup ceux qui prennent la peine d'aider comme vous l'avez fait. merci encore

This also worked for me, thank you very much. Took about an hour from start to finish! 2008 Mercury Milan with 225,600 miles on it still going strong

Thank You! Touched them up and the display is back on my 2010 Explorer Radio!

I watched you video several times before attempting to fix my F -150 radio. Everything came out perfect as you described. A great fix and it saved me a lot of money. Thanks.

Great tip. Could see the cracked solder or resisters touched them up worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.

I saw this video a while back and tore into it today. Great step-by-step instructions! Looks like a new one now ! Thanks !

That was the exact issue with mine. I appreciate you shared your knowledge!

Ayyy man!!!!! Thank you so much for the video!!!! I went and bought a solder gun and wire. Fixed my radio for 20 dollars. It works perfect. I bought it used and the lights were dim then got dimmer then starting going on and off I followed your Instructions you provided and it works perfectly now.

THX! ALL THESE FORD EXPLORER POSTS ARE EXACTLY ALL THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2010.

Great video. Fixed my broken radio display on first try. Could not have done it without you. Thank you and keep videoing. James

Thank you so much for this video! Purchased a used unit on eBay and discovered the display was out. Watched your video and discovered cracks in the solder on the 4 resistors. Re-soldered them and that fixed the issue. Great video! Thanks again!

Tried this method today and it worked perfectly. Did it on an ‘09 Ford Expedition. Although mine has a 6 CD Changer. Thank you kind sir. 🙏

Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share you experience and knowledge.

Fantastic and well explained! Good Job.👍

i soldered all the pins, didnt help, went over the 4 and 2 flat resistors and its fixed ! they looked ok, thank you !

Just wanted to give you thanks for making this video. My radio had the same exact issue, and I was nervous as hell about attempting the fix but you made it seem very approachable. I've never used a soldering iron before, but thanks to your video showing how easy it was, and a quick youtube video on proper soldering technique, I was able to fix the display on my radio, and only received minor burns from the soldering iron :) Thanks so much for making this guide.

Great video! Well done! The first resister I heated up moved like you were saying. Retouched them all. Problem solved! I had smacked the unit for about a year and that would work. Then that stopped working. Lived with no display for a over a year and finally looked it up! Wish I'd have done it sooner! Easy fix! Thanks! Gotta love youtube!

Worked like a charm! Thanks for posting!

Thanks, Finally I could fix my radio with your great instruction, exactly same problem.

Worked perfectly to fix the blank display screen on my 2010 Ford Explorer. I’ve never soldered a circuit board before so I didn’t have high hopes for this to work. I followed the video exactly and my soldering wasn’t very pretty but it worked on the first try. All in all, it took me 15 minutes total to take the radio out, resolder the resistors, and put the radio back in. Saved me a ton of time and money!!

Had my doubts ,but touched up the joints recommended,and it worked,made alot of points with my wife,lol,Thank You!

Huge thanks! Followed the video and was able to fix the radio on my sons first car. Saved him from sinking more money into it!

Wow!! While removing the radio to remove the display a bump lit the display briefly. Added a touch of solder to both sides of the resistors. Some had very minimal solder although none were loose. Reassembled, display looks great!! Stayed lit through bumps or reassembly and a ride around the block. 2006 Exploder whose display has faded to black over the last few months. Big Thanks!!!

SUCCESS on first attempt. Thank you so much! Was real nervous to attempt this, couldn't have done it without you.

I have a 2007 Ford edge with same problem, so I did what you did in your video except I just reheated the solder that was there and put it all back together and it WORKS LIKE NEW....THANKS FOR THE VIDEO !!

Your video helped me fix this exact problem with my 2011 e350 van radio. I’ve never soldered on electronics but following along with this video helped.

Thank you tried your way of fixing it and it works like a dream by radio works but Digital Street works. Thank you. I think you’re doing a great work.

Thank you i can listen to the macaroni like its 1999 again

Thank you for this. :) Just bought a 2010 Ford Explorer. Saw this issue when buying it but I repair electronics often. You saved me diagnosing myself. First resistor I touched tried to escape on me.

Thanks, this helped a lot and now my stereo is fixed!

Thank you for posting this. This 100% fixed the issue. Mine was the resistor. It was loose as soon as I hit it with the solder gun.

Thanks for the demo. It was one of the few easy fixes I've ever done.

Just fixed my radio display thanks to your help

Tank's a lot, I just bought my car and wasn't working my display and I was thinking buying a new one, but I did just like in your video and work just perfect. Tank you so much, blessings

Great video and well spoken

Perfect instructions. Fixed the radio and saved a lot of money. Thanks!

Thank you! It’s the same radio as my Ford F250. For me, it was one of the four surface mount resistors near the display. It came off as soon as I tried to reflow one side. Great video!

Thank you. You saved me $300.00 Did the repair myself. Big savings.

Your video is a godsend. I've been having the same problem with my display for a couple years. When it first started i could get it to light up by smacking it, but after a while that trick stopped working. I took it out and opened it up today and I could see the poor solder connections. Easy fix, thank you. Now i just have to find a little plastic cover to replace the one I cracked smacking it.

Thanks for the awsome step by step help. Fixed my display...Thanks again!

Thank you for the video! I attempted this twice before, but getting the surface mount resistors some more solder worked!!

Yep, unbelievable. I can’t even solder very well and it worked for me. Thank you.

It’s probably not the fix for everybody but I bet it will be for 90% of you.

Thank you! I just re-soldered the resistors and that did the trick.

Dude that was awesome! Thank you so much. Less money to spend on the hubby's explorer and more money to my Charger lol You rock!

Worked great! Thank you. The family truckster rolls on.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in repairing my ford radio.

Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou very much! I have had this issue for a few years now and finally deciced to replace the stereo when I came across your video and thought it was worth a try. Indeed, it did work exactly as you said, two of the resistors were loose when I put the heat to them. I went over the described joints to be sure I got any others. You saved me the cost of a new radio and gave me the satisfaction of of fixing it myself...great video will pass it on to my buddies!! Cheers Pete 😎

Thanks for making this video!. Worked perfectly for our Ford Fusion radio!

I did the same thing to my 08 f150 with the solder points and can confirm, it worked!

Exactly what I needed! Thank you!

My f350 Super Duty has the same exact problem. With the resistors being loose, that makes total sense why my display comes on sometimes and sometimes it does not well I should say most of the time it does not, with it making and breaking contact. Just started looking for used radios online and I just came across this video. Now, instead, I’m just going to fix mine. Thank you very much for posting the video big thumbs up!!!!

Thanks so much! Your tutorial worked perfectly and saved us $$!

I have my clock again!!! 🤩 Thank you so much!

Thanks for the video! It worked! The display was out on my 2006 Explorer but it is a very similar radio. I resoldered just the resisters and the 8 power connections, I didn't want to muck with the data connections in case I soldered them all together. Anyway, works now! I looked into just getting a new radio but then you have to splice all the wires or get a jumper if you can, only some radios can be made to work with the steering wheel controls, and none work with the rear seat entertainment system, so this was by far the easier, cheaper, and more complete fix. No touch screen or Apple Play though, but we have a FM/Bluetooth transponder if we really want to connect a phone and it even handles hands free calling through the stereo speakers. (The mic and controls are in the transponder, but it will play the caller's voice through the FM channel.) We just use a phone for navigation when necessary. One of the resistors was so loose it came right off when I hit one side with the iron. But I was able to put it back and connect both sides.

Excellent video. Thank you. Worked like a charm!

Excellent video , took 30 minutes total to fix this issue on 2007 f150

THANKS !!!! Display working great now !!!!!

Yeah! It works! Resistors were attached rigidly, no cold solder joints were visible. I resolder every connector and all resistors. Resoldering fix this problem! Thank You!

Successful repair!!! Thanks

exactly what was wrong and easily fixed. VERY MUCH Appreciated!

Fantastic ,I fixed mine . Thanks 👍

Thank you a lot. found 3 solder joint cracks on 4 resistors.

I just did this!!! Worked great thank u!!!

Worked on my wife’s 09’ Ford Fusion radio!

It worked and fixed the problem. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your work. I have 08 Ford F150 same issue, very quick fix and now the display is working with no issues. Now I just have to figure out how to remove two jammed CD's that some put in together LOL.

It worked for me too. Thank you very much!

Excellent video!!! This worked for me... Thanks a lot

Nice job with the vid!

Bingo! Took 4 tries but loving having my display back!

Thank you very much for the video, I fixed it.

I am no good at soldering but it worked!! Thanks for the great video!

It worked! Thank you so much.

This video was very helpful and useful
