Product details

Repair the ACM already in your Focus.

No sound, loud popping, or a radio that will not power on can be signs of a fault inside the ACM. We offer mail-in repair for the original radio Audio Control Module in the 2012-2018 Ford Focus. You keep your factory unit, and we return it bench tested and ready to reinstall.

You send us your ACM. We repair and return it. This is a mail-in repair service, not a replacement radio or exchange unit.

Tell us how the sound fails. Does the radio stay silent, cut in and out, or produce a loud pop? Is the problem present on every source? Include those details with your Focus ACM. If only one speaker is affected, have the speaker circuit and related equipment checked rather than assuming the radio module is responsible.

  • Blinking or flashing clock on the radio display
  • No sound from any audio source
  • Radio does not power on or is completely dead
  • Loud popping, static, or cracking noise from the speakers
  • No volume control, or volume stuck at one level
  • Unable to change audio source (AM/FM, AUX, Bluetooth)
  • Poor or no AM/FM radio reception

Please note: this service does not cover mechanical CD player or CD changer problems, such as reading, loading, or ejecting issues.

  1. Board-level diagnosis

    We diagnose the ACM at the board level to identify all failed and weakened components.

  2. Component replacement

    We replace known high-failure components with upgraded parts that exceed the original specifications.

  3. Bench testing

    We test the repaired ACM on the bench to confirm its functions before it ships back to you.

Repairing your original ACM can save hundreds of dollars compared with dealer replacement, without fitting and programming a different radio.

How the repair works

A straightforward mail-in process.

  1. Place your order

    Choose this repair service and complete checkout online.

  2. Check your email

    Your confirmation includes packing instructions and our shipping address.

  3. Ship your ACM

    Securely wrap the ACM and cushion it inside a sturdy box. Include your order number, phone and email, return address, specific issues, and vehicle year, make, and model. Send the complete unit and do not take it apart.

  4. We repair and return

    Most repairs take 1 business day after arrival. We then ship your ACM back.

After your repair

Lifetime limited warranty

This repair service is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. If the audio control functions of the ACM fail again under normal use, we will repair it again at no charge. The warranty is non-transferable.

What’s excluded

The warranty does not cover failures caused by liquid damage, fire, physical impact, tampering, incorrect installation, vehicle wiring faults, or external shorts. Shipping damage is handled by the carrier when the package is properly insured.

If a unit cannot be repaired

If catastrophic damage or missing components prevent repair, we will contact you with options. A diagnostic or handling fee and return shipping may apply.

Before you order

A few common questions

Which Ford Focus model years does this service cover?

This listing covers 2012-2018 Ford Focus ACM radio repair. Include your vehicle year and a description of the audio problem with the module you send us.

Is this an ACM exchange or a used Focus radio?

Neither. You send your existing module, we repair it, and that same module comes back. There is no replacement radio or core exchange included in the price.

Will my Focus radio need programming after repair?

No. We repair and return your original ACM, so it goes back in without the programming required when fitting a different unit.

How long does the repair take?

Repairs typically take 1 business day after your ACM arrives. Shipping time to and from our facility is additional.

Can this fix a fault outside the ACM?

No. Wiring, speakers, external amplifiers, and other modules need their own diagnosis. Tell us which sources and controls work, and contact us before ordering if you are unsure whether the ACM is responsible.

Not sure if this is your repair?

Tell us your year, model, and symptoms. We’ll help you confirm.
