My Ford 2005 Focus clock/radio is possessed.

My Ford 2005 Focus radio is possessed. Not all the time but, randomly, when I turn the ignition on, the radio will be on a different station than it was and the clock will be a number of hours/minutes off. Computer cannot detect what causes this. No check engine light comes on.

Check engine light would have nothing to do with this ! Check engine light is for engine codes ! there is a problem with the radio it self ! or SJB - smart junction box , ford's BCM - body control module . You should take it to a qualified repair shop . or ford dealer !

Radio resets when car is turned off

There is a yellow wire in the harness coming out of the head unit, this should be connected to a constant power. This circut maintains power to the head unit for the clock and memory.
The red wire should be connected to a source that is turned on and off with the key switch.

I cannot get the CD player to eject the CD. the radio is a standard AM/FM radio with a CD player in a 2005 Ford explorer XLT. after pushing the eject button the radio screen blinks ''EJ err''. The cd...

Turn the radio off first and then disconnect the battery for 2 min then reconnect the battery. This should reset your radio and then you can eject your CD, and reset your stations and clock. Good luck
