Well finally someone did some troubleshooting and found the problem.
It's the satellite antenna that is mounted on the trunklid.
So in case anyone else has this problem here are the gory details...lol.
The antenna had to be ordered from Ford in Dearborn. Cost 129.99. It will be here on Friday. So the total cost with installation will come to about 190.00.
Sucks but not nearly as bad as it could have been. Fortunately it wasn't the SDARS module (the satellite receiver) which I saw was mounted in the trunk on the passenger side. The SDARS module costs about 450.00.
Anyway, I will have my Sirius radio back working in time for my trip to South Carolina next week.
