After connecting a few different Bluetooth devices to my Ford Transit custom SYNC system, I was suddenly unable to connect anymore using my regular phone. It turns out there is a straightforward fix for this problem. You have to reset the SYNC system which can be done by following the steps below:
Find the fuse F37
which should be in the fuse box at the drivers side.
You can confirm the fuse position by searching in the PDF version of the manual for SYNC module
.

- remove fuse
- turn ignition on
- go to sync settitng menu (try to connect to your phone to get error
SYNC not available
) - turn everything off
- remove key
- insert fuse
- turn ignition on
And after these steps, you’ll be ready to connect again. It can take a minute before sync is booted.
