There are several reasons why the USB port in the Ford EcoSport might stop working. To narrow down the possibilities, you need to determine if the issue is with power (charging), data transfer (streaming), or both. This distinction greatly reduces the potential causes of the problem. If you are experiencing issues with data transfer, it is likely a software problem involving the communication between your head unit and phone. In this case, your options are limited to trying a different device or rebooting both devices. However, if the problem is a lack of power, it suggests a hardware failure. Replacing the USB port and potentially the wiring leading to your head unit may be necessary. If the port is part of the head unit itself, it might be more cost-effective to replace the entire unit due to the complexities of the proprietary technology.
