The radio in the 2009 Ford F-150 is known to freeze up, usually displaying the "Built Ford Tough" screen. There are a few methods you could try to fix this issue yourself. The simplest approach is to force a reset by holding down the power button and the right seek button for 5-10 seconds until the unit switches off and back on. If this doesn't work, you can opt to disconnect the negative battery terminal for approximately 30 minutes and then reconnect it to see if the problem resolves. Lastly, check for any blown fuses by referencing your owner's manual for the fuse panel locations and examining any fuses related to the radio or sound system.
