How can I disable SYNC on my 2013 Ford Focus? Can I pull fuse #79 to do it? - 1

Try it and find out

You lose more than Sync if you pull that fuse. Fuse 79 provides power for the following: Radio, Navigation DVD player, Touch screen, Hazard light switch, and Door lock switch.

What is the issue that you are experiencing?

Why not just turn it OFF? If that fails, just disable the Bluetooth connection. Why people want "connected" cars is beyond me. They can be hacked.

Just turn the radio off. Or turn off the Bluetooth on your phone so there's nothing for it to SYNC with. Or replace the whole thing with an after market radio.
