As @centex said, don't cut. Most recyclers just cut the wiring harness instead of detatching the plugs (5 seconds instead of minutes trying to figure out how to unplug...time is money), of course, it does make it harder to find intact harnesses from these places.
 
As well as the fuse, you might try the following:

Disconnect your battery for about 10 minutes (Hard Reboot)

Unplug, then plug back in, the connector at the amplifier in the boot (good time to do this would be when the battery is disconnected)

Try the 'hard' power button for the audio on the dash (just above the 'Source' button)

Hi there,

I took the car to the dealer and ACM is the problem they gave me this number of part CJ5Z18C869GA but apparently is discontinued and it says is the reciever so I am having my doubts about whats the part, if someone has a good dealer contact in the US, I could make the order and buy the part.

Thanks guys
The ACM (audio control module) is what we would normally refer to as the receiver. I would look at fordparts.com or tascaparts.com
