All Speakers Except Tweeters Failed to Function 2025 Ranger Raptor

[Bushmechanic]

As the title suggests, I started the vehicle to find that only the A pillar tweeters were functional.

Restarting the vehicle corrected the issue.

It's a strange failure. Given the various computer issues I've had, as well as the fact that just turning it off and on again corrected the fault, I'm tempted to just call it a bug; but that's quite an odd bug to come out of a computer. What's handling crossover duties in this vehicle, anyway? Is it just all digital?

I'll be scheduling an appointment with the dealership, just for good measure and documentation of the fault, but I don't expect they'll be able to find anything.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Tweeters are run off the head unit module itself. The rest is a fault either in the amp behind the seat or the wiring to it. Might be a loose connection. Easy enough to check by lowering the rear seat back.

That's exactly what I needed to know. What an odd setup.

I was thinking it had to be an amp or crossover, but remembering all the computer issues had me wondering.

Nice to know there's at least something in this system that makes a little sense.

I'll have a look, myself, before taking it to the dealer. If it's set up like that, it's an easy check.

I'll still get it on record with Ford, just in case something pops or it happens again, in the future.

I'm seeing a similar, recurring problem. I've found that if I change the source from Radio or SiriusXM to my phone, etc, and back, it corrects the issue.

I'm noot sure of the root cause, but for now, it's a minor annoyance in an otherwise stellar vehicle.

I had an issue once where only the right side speakers were working. Turning the unit off and on solved it as well.

I just had the same issue this weekend!!!

In the N. American models the center channel is run off the head unit also.

Power cycling a $56,000 vehicle to make it's basic functions work properly doesn't "solve" anything.

It's a band-aid until Ford does something about all the computer issues. Report it to your dealer and make sure it's properly official. They literally have nothing better to do.

Don't just overlook things like this. The more people who get these issues looked at, the better. I don't feel like going down to the dealership, either; but I'm going to.

If a smartphone or PC produced so many issues, it would be laughed off the market.

Waste the dealership's time. Stop wasting your own. Most of these are still under warranty.

... and once that's over? Poof. It's all on you now.
