BaZZaD Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Hello friends! Recently bought Edge 2019. I wanted to connect a USB flash drive to listen to music, but the flash drive is detected and plays for about 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the flash drive disappears and appears again after 20 seconds. The same with Android Auto. The second USB port (lower) does not see a flash drive or a phone at all. It doesn't even charge the phone. I checked both USB ports using a USB tester and load and I see that both ports give 5v 2a. But the first port periodically stops giving amperes. What can I do? Can you advise something? PS sorry for my English Thank you! Edited August 21, 2021 by BaZZaD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Sounds like the USB ports are bad or it could be the APIM (controller). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Is your Sync updated to the latest version? Is your USB drive formatted to FAT32? How about exFat? How old is the druve? What you're describing is a somewhat common complaint across many platforms. Try master reset or reformatting the drive and reloading the music.

I read on the Internet that many people have a problem with USB ports on Ford. APIM (controller) - Is it a physical part or a software part?

I tried both FAT32 and exFAT and different flash drives but the same result. I did a reset from the display and by holding down the ON + Forward buttons. No result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 If its a recent purchase the dealership that you brought it from may offer some type of warranty. Or depending on your build date and mileage you may be under the factory warranty. To avoid paying a diagnostic fee, I'd suggest calling a ford dealer and give them your vin and ask if its under warranty. If its under warranty let Ford sort it out. If its not under warranty the USB hub isn't expensive new and a replacement APIM should be around $2-$300 used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 At this point it sounds like the ports are the problem, either something entered the openings (beer, coke, etc. which is periodically shorting ) or dirt (which doesn't allow the usb drive to fully seat, becoming intermittent), or, the cable on the back of the hub is not quite seated fully. If the ports are clean and clear, I'd pull them and check the connection. Have the ports ever worked properly? Its also possible that the APIM is the cause, but if so it would throw codes. Easy enough to check, expensive to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZZaD Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hello! Today I disassembled the CSS module myself. I found an oxidized microcircuit on the board. I replaced it and both USB ports started working normally. Thank you all for your support! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
