Like any car part, radios in vehicles can sometimes experience issues. If the radio in your Ford F-350 is not functioning properly, you'll need to identify the specific component that is causing the problem. Radios can fail in various ways, so understanding how yours is malfunctioning can provide helpful clues. Consider whether the radio is receiving power (i.e., does it turn on) or not, if there is no radio signal (i.e., static on all stations), or if other features like CDs or auxiliary sound are working. The problem could range from an electrical failure to a faulty antenna. Without more details, it is challenging to pinpoint the exact cause, but it may involve anything from fixing a speaker wire to replacing the entire radio unit. If you could provide more information, it would be helpful in diagnosing the issue.
It switches on whenever it feels like it, but typically, it's turned off.
In 2020, the radio screen in our F350 truck was malfunctioning. We attempted a soft reset and turning the truck off, but the screen remained unresponsive. Despite the fuse being intact, we removed and inspected fuses 15 and 32, which revealed the problem was with the fuse box located under the glovebox.
The most probable issue is that the fuse has blown and must be replaced. This should be verified.

This truck is a real piece of junk.
Remove the 20-amp and 10-amp fuses numbered 32 and 33 for a hard reset. This is typically done to resolve any issues, so it's a good first step. The fuses can be found on the passenger side near the door on the floor area.
Remove the 20-amp and 10-amp fuses labeled as numbers 32 and 33 as a precautionary step to perform a hard reset. The fuse panel can be found on the passenger side near the floor close to the passenger door. It is probable that there is no issue, but this action is a preventive measure.
I encounter the same issue where the clock is visible, but there is no action taken.
