Ford AU11 experts, question on factory Stereo

ruaphu, Mar 27, 8:06pm
We have a 01 AU11 Fairmont fitted with the factory 6 disc audio system. Jumped in this morning, Stero system won't go! Fuses all checked, nothing comes up anywhrre on screen. Car tends to sit for weeks at a time but battery tested OK (1yr old). All the audio system does is display the red LED for CD load! Any help would be appriecated. Cheers

take off batteryfor 2 mins. reconnect and enter stero code. Mines done it a couple of times and so has inlaws.

Oh. open windows or take keys out of ignition before reconnecting battery if your not doing this at home or only have 1 key. On earlier models reconnecting battery locks doors. I found this out the hard way. AUs well might be the same
