Honey Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 2017 Ford Edge Background The sound stopped working in my car. Figured out it was the control module thing (behind the radio screen). But after picking up my car from trying to get that fixed I noticed that; the airbag light came on the drivers side heated seats stopped working and the lighting in the cups holders stopped working. I'm trying to see if these are things that are connected or controlled by that module behind the radio. Or what?? Thanks for any help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Welcome to to the Forum @Honey! Presuming it was a dealership or other reputable repair shop that did the control module work, contact them and return the Edge for them to restore those previously working features which are no longer operative. It's possible some electrical connector(s) not fully engaged. The repair facility may find Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) which indicate the problem(s) their efforts subsequently created. Good luck! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadr Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Hello all, I'm new to this discussion board. My call is Kris. My spouse drives a 2013 Ford Escape. Some weeks ago her radio begin to make weird noises. Suddenly about every week in the past complete sound gadget went dead. You can see radio buttons at the touchscreen and CD but you can not press them. So basically no music or some thing. Took my car to the supplier and they said it's far Audio Control Module that is useless. And they want $850 to update it. Decided to do some research earlier than I pay them. Took the unit out and were given the quantity off it. The handiest problem is there are cables at the returned of it that I don't have any idea how to disconnect. Also if I search for used units it looks like every body simply cut them off. I don't want to do it on account that do not know if I am capable of re-solder them after. I attach a photograph of the two cables reduce off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRNW Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 I have the same issue on my 2015 Ford Edge. My ACM stopped working but dealer wants $1015 just for a new ACM, not including install. Are there any work arounds for this? Possibly a new aftermarket system to replace my current with the ACM? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 You would probably find a used one on eBay for cheap and with simple DIY skills can change yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Believe the audio control module is responsible for the AM/FM radio, CD/DVD player, hard drive, preamp and preliminary amplifier and other multimedia functions plus such as interconnections to the APIM (Sync). Doesn't have any control over heated/cooled seats, etc. Sounds like they left a connector disconnected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
