Hello all,
I'm new to this forum. My name is Kris. My wife drives a 2013 Ford Escape. Some weeks ago her radio start to make weird noises. Suddenly about a week ago whole sound system went dead. You can see radio buttons on the touchscreen and CD but you can't press them. So basically no music or anything.
Took my car to the dealer and they said it is Audio Control Module that is dead. And they want $850 to replace it. Decided to do some research before I pay them. Took the unit out and got the number off it. The only problem is there are two cables on the back of it that I have no idea how to disconnect. Also if I search for used units it looks like everybody just cut them off. I don't want to do it since don't know if I am able to re-solder them after. I attach a photo of the two cables cut off.
Can someone let me know what they are used for? And is it possible to disconnect them without cutting them?
