Soft Reboot Hack For Sync 3 System | How To Fix Ford Pass Freezing Screen Issue

Some of my customers with the new Sync 3 system have had problems with the screen freezing up on them and Ford Pass acting up. If you are having the same issues try this easy fix. It's called a soft reboot and it will not delete all your settings and phone like a master reset does but rather tweak the system. I hope it helps you out and as always please call me at 314-303-8366 if I can help you out.

so for those who want to fix this permanently, you have to go into settings and default to original factory settings, Chose NOT to connect to the internet for updates and chose NOT to connect to Ford Pass. Your screen will never freeze again. THANKS FORD

Thanks Jim do you know to reset a sync that's in a 2014 explorer? Screen completely frozen

@BluesGuitarPlayer Жыл бұрын

Try manually resetting it by removing the fuse that controls the sync system, and then reinstall after waiting for 5 minutes. You can also disconnect both battery cables, hold the ends together for 15 seconds and reattach after 5 minutes. Both work usually but sometimes the module is fried and there’s no fix! Hope you get it going!

Can u help or show anything for a 2015 Ford Fusion sync screen frozen. I changed my fuses for my radio and audio and my sync still frozen, I can rest because it’s frozen, my radio works and CD works just sync is stuck.

@BluesGuitarPlayer 3 жыл бұрын

The other way besides the fuse hack is to take off both battery cables and hold the ends together for 15 seconds wait a couple of minutes and reattach. That fix is an actual tsb from Ford to manually reset it. Have you registered it at syncmyride.com If not do so. It’s free and allows you to get a free software update. Good luck.

Sounds like you have a module issue of some kind but until the techs run a diagnosis you’re guessing. You might try a couple of things to manually unfreeze the system but not sure if they would work on the newer software but you used to be able to take off the battery cables, hold the ends together for 15 seconds and then reattach to the battery. The other one entailed taking out the fuse that runs sync and after a minute reinstalling it.

My radio only plays, when I hit aux or phone nothing happens and the usb doesn’t seem to work either. Please help

@BluesGuitarPlayer 2 жыл бұрын

You should be able to do a master reset which sets it back to factory specs. If you’re not able to do that your sync system needs to be manually reset. First try taking out the fuse that runs sync, wait a minute and put it back in. The other is to take off both battery cables, touch the battery cables together at the part that connects to the battery for 15 seconds and reattach after 5 minutes. Once it unfreezes go to Fords site for sync sync my ride.com and get a free software upgrade.
