Loud surge/boom and then electric static from speakers

[O’Majestic1’slightnigF150]

I was the OP on one of the threads. Ford never “officially” contacted me. As stated, this is definitely a known issue. I also have a ‘22 Mach E GTPE and this issue is / has occurred on Mach E’s and posted in the Mach E forum. Technology is a bitch. RF interference (RFI) is a mother to manage. Digital, not so much. RFI is why many auto builders are dropping AM radio from their vehicles. You should hear the fingernails on chalkboard audio the Mach E emits when using the turn signals! Back to the topic, I did open an NHTSB case immediately and was contacted by the “feds” and provided follow up details. I have 10k miles on the Lightning and the noise problem has only happened the once but I do try to remember and kill all audio before logging off.

A software fix for this has now been released.

SSM 51663 2021-2023 F-150/Expedition - Pop Noise And/Or Static In Speakers At Start Up

2021-2023 F-150/Expedition may exhibit a pop noise and/or static in the speakers at start up that cannot be turned down or off using the audio system controls. To correct the condition, reprogram the audio digital signal processing module (DSP) to the latest software level using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 18B849 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

Looks like it’s time to fire up FDRS! Thanks!
