Have you recently encountered an audio issue in your 2014 Ford Fiesta? In this blog post, I’ll guide you through troubleshooting this problem and share my experience with a similar issue.
First, let’s address the symptoms. In my case, I found that pressing the radio power button resulted in no sound at all. Even trying to play a CD didn’t produce any audio. So, I turned to the owner’s manual and discovered the section on checking the car’s fuses, which might be the cause of the problem.
The manual directed me to locate two specific fuses for the audio system: number 10 in the passenger-side fuse box and number 24. After inspecting the fuses and finding them in good condition, I realized that the issue likely lay with the radio itself.
I shared that I had a similar experience with a 2012 Ford Fiesta, where the radio malfunctioned and had to be replaced. Following the fuse check, it became clear that I needed to proceed with replacing the radio.
While demonstrating the process of removing the radio, I discovered that the radio started making sounds when I wiggled it. Despite this temporary sound, the issue persisted when trying to play a CD, confirming that the radio needed replacement.
To address this problem, I plan to order a used radio from eBay and replace it in an upcoming video. Stay tuned for the next steps in this troubleshooting process!

I checked the fuses for the audio system as indicated in the car’s manual. I looked at fuse number 10 in the passenger-side fuse box and fuse number 24. However, after checking both fuses, they appeared to be in good condition, indicating that the problem may lie with the radio itself.
