Manually tune your radio to a station you like. Then pull a button out, then push it back it to set it.

i tried pulling them out, they didnt pull out any further, they are all ready pretty far out too. they can be pushed in though. is this because maybe none of them are set? and i need to push them in to set them? if so, should i push them until it stays?
thanks

im not sure but some older radios maybe not fords. but they didnt have presets in them. maybe yours doesnt. or you ahvent pulled them out far enough. you might try again. just dont try real hard. you could break them if im wrong.

im pretty sure they dont go farther, because i pulled pretty hard and they didnt move. if mine doesnt have presets, what do those bars do? rocket launchers? if so, i got ripped off because the radio didnt come with rocket launchers!

check under the truck you might...

they might just be channel changer buttons.

what about the rocket launchers? oil slicks? NOS? ejection set activator? turbo?

but really,
so if they were preseters, would the channel dial thing automatically change to the preseted channel when you push the button?

if it was a preset it would change to the channel you set it to. the auto channel changer will just change the channel to a factory preset place.

The buttons are just stuck. They wouldn't have been installed for looks. Try pulling out a little harder.

I agree with Keith pull harder. But if you break one of them send it to me I'll still use it

They activate the particle separator. Be careful, you don't want to misuse them. Just havin' fun.

Keith is right, they're just stuck.

Or maybe they're not stuck, but all of them are already all the way out. Try manually tuning the radio, then push one all the way in and see if it sets. If so, then repeat.

moparmania is the winner!
earlier today I tried pushing them in figuring that they were allready all pulled out. now i have them all preset and it works great. Thanks for the help!
