Does the audio unit operate correctly?

PINPOINT TEST I: LOUD POPPING WHEN CYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH-CONVERTIBLE

Test Step

Result / Action to Take

I1 CHECK SUBWOOFERS FOR LOUD POPS

Yes

REMOVE the audio unit and SEND it to an authorized Ford audio system repair facility.

TEST the system for normal operation

If the loud pops are from the convertible LH subwoofer amplifier only, REPAIR circuit 173 (DG/VT). TEST the system for normal operation.
