Speakers Not Working

This evening, most of the speakers in my ST stopped working. Now, the chimes and warning sounds are muffled and you can hardly hear anyone when talking through bluetooth. It seems like only the top door speakers work (maybe the middle speaker in the dash too) but nothing else. Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a short or blown fuse. Thanks in advance!

Try a SYNC reset?

GearHead, I started it up this morning and all of the speakers were working again. I did the Sync update OTA last week and am not sure if that had anything to do with it. If it happens again and doesn't resolve itself, I'm definitely going to try a SYNC reset. Thanks for the suggestion.

You can do a soft reset holding the power button and the track forward button for about 10 seconds. As I remember this still holds your contacts and other data.

I really should say at one time you could do this. It's been a long time since I've tried.

Are you on the latest version of Sync 3.4 21194? Software updates fixed some of these problems in the past.
