How to Reset the Ford F 250 Radio

Model: Ford F-250 P473 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Warning light – error code

If you are experiencing serious issues with the radio in your Ford F 350, you should completely reset it to resolve any software problems. To do this, retrieve the vehicle manual and find the chapter related to the fuse diagram. In our case, we need to work on fuse number 29, which controls the GPS synchronization system. At this point, disconnect the vehicle battery and open the fuse box. Using the provided extractor, remove fuse number 29 and replace it with a new, fully compatible one. Now close the fuse box and reconnect the battery. Start the vehicle, and any radio issues should be resolved.
