2008 Ford Expedition Rear Audio Control Module (RACM)

[Gary Waugh]

Okay Peeps, My local Ford dealer confirmed that my satelite radio issue is due to the RACM, They applied the new software (TSB 11-3-3) and it got a little bit better, but the radio still fails to find a satellite radio station and reports "Satellite Fault" or "No Signal" most of the time, so I need a new RACM. The dealer tells me that Ford no longer sells this part (my car is too old 2008), so it seems I have to source either a reconditioned unit or a new unit that someone has sitting on a shelf somewhere!! I could try a scrap yard but I will have no way of knowing if the unit is any better than my current unit, so prefer to buy a reconditioned unit with some sort of guarantee.

So my question for a 100 points, does anyone know of a new RACM unit, or a shop that reconditions and sells these units?

Before anyone asks, I do not want to replace the stereo system, worst case I will stop my Sirius membership and just listen to FM radio, but would like to get this radio working with Sirius.

Cheers Gary

Try Infotainment.com. They may have one to sell you. Hold onto your wallet. Can probably get five at the Pick-a-part along with the consoles for what they ask.

All this work just for Sirius when a radio replacement would suffice. What is your reason for not replacing the radio. I have a 2010 limited loaded. The factory dvd player stop working. I went on Amazon bought aftermarket 12 in screen and Pioneer AVIC-8200NEX in 2019 and the kit and had my local shop install it all. I only spent $700 for everything and installation.
