My 2013 CMax has been doing the same thing that Georgegmx and others had mentioned. The loud crackling noise followed by the sound system dying. In the beginning I was able to get it to work by turning off the car, opening the door, closing it and restarting the car again. But then it because more and more frequent till it stopped turning on at all. It let out many many death cries of the loud, very loud, crackling noise before it finally stopped working. We tried the system reset with the 67 or 69 and 79 fuses with no luck. The Ford dealership repair people here have no idea and have put in a call to the to the Ford engineers for guidance after replacing the computer module system with no change to the situation. Could the ' The APIM and ACM are the usual suspects." be the case here as Bill-N mentioned? Any help is much appreciated!
