Intermittent Head Unit Power Fault 2006 Ford Focus diesel

I've been volunteered to looking at a friends Ford Focus' head unit as is has a habit of cutting out all sound intermittently when driving along.

 

Before I take the HU out of the dashboard, do these units have a code which has to be re-entered when the HU is removed?

 

My friend says she can't find any reference to a code in the car documentation.

 

Thanks in advance.

This unit won't have the security panel, it's only the older ones.

 

It's either going to be a fault with the hu or you have a faulty speaker.

 

If any of the speakers or cables are shorting it shuts the audio down for protection.

 

The way to find out is to take the unit out, unplug the connector. Remove the speaker plug from the main connector. Plug the main plug back in. Get another speaker and a bit of cable and connect it straight to the pins on the back of the radio and see if you get sound. If you don't it's the amp in the hu.

Pm me if you need a replacement Ford H/U i have a single disc one i can sell u?

 

Thanks mate, I'll bear that in mind. :)

 

After looking at it today, opening the drivers door shut the sound off! So I'm thinking it is chafed door speaker wires shorting out in the trunking between door and frame.
