Title: Radio Codes!!
Post by birdman on May 13th, 2011, 1:44pm
Hi again yet another problem with my relatively new car 1996 Scorpio Ultima16v Auto (well to me anyway).
This time it is with the Radio! For some reason it is asking for the “Code” and as I don’t have any of the original Owners manuals I don’t have the Code for the radio can anyone give any suggestions on how I can get the access code please? ???

Thank you
Mal

Thank you for your help I have managed to get the code! ;D So I thought I would give you an up-date on how I am progressing!!

The only problem is that the bl**** thing  has stopped working altogether now :'(, it will not turn back on!!  :'(  just before I took the panel out or even touched it, it went dead and I can’t get it back on!! Is there a fuse or a relay somewhere, if so can someone please tell me which one and which board it is on I have found 2 of the boards (1st on left under the Battery cover, 2nd on right under a waterproof panel) but I believe there is a third which I am unable to locate!! Most of the problems I seem to be having I suspect are due to this vehicle being stood for some time and I think everything is damp or dirty my reasoning is that I removed all the fuses and cleaned the board and since then I have not had any bother with the lights and other systems have now started to work too!!

The bit with the buttons that comes off sometimes needs the contacts cleaning,have you tried giving it a prod on the latch end ?
If you PM me your address I will send you a handbook,it might be a bit dog eared,but will fill the bill.

The radio is covered by fuse no 8 in the main fusebox. That is the the drivers side one. The one beneath the battery cover is known as the auxillary fusebox.Ther are no other fuses BUT there are relays fitted in various locations apart from in the fuseboxes.

Just as an update to the Radio problem!!

can anyone tell me where I can get a set of "Radio Keys" or maybe another way of removing the facure so I can get at the workings behind! I need to take it out and try to repair it or at least clean it I think there a number of Dry joints!! Have checked the fuse and all is OK!!  but it's still not working!! ??????

Have a look at This page (http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enGB351GB352&q=Rdio+removal+keys) there are various sorts but the ones you want are  U shaped like those in the small picture.  ;)

Mal, Your local friendly ford dealership has them in abundance. I asked for some for my radio removal and the guy gave them to me!! and they are only a couple of quid anyway.  Lee

The radio code programs are ( HERE (http://1drv.ms/1eT83ai) ) as well as the .DLL file that is sometimes missing from the windows7 setup
