Default Lost Radio Volume Control

Got into my truck the other day, Plat 2013, turned on the radio and the sound was low. Tried to turn the volume up by both the dash dial and steering wheel control and there was no change. Turned the truck off several times, no success, I can no longer increase (or lower) the radio volume. I checked through all settings, even the Volume Settings but nothing fixed this. Any ideas or road trip to the dealer?

pull the negative battery cable off and go have a coffee... try hooking back up after your cup is empty

how often do you need to start your computer, smart phone, and any computer device... sometimes they just need a bit of time with out battery for a fresh "wake up"

on your house computers, unplug it from the wall for 5 minutes.... laptops, and phones, take the battery out if you can... trucks and cars... unhook negative battery post

Or you can pull the fuse that powers MFT.

The coffee is seasonally optional. Summertime requires a beer,rum and coke or other cold drink of your choice
