Factory radio won't play radio, in dash CD and changer work, any ideas, bought another factory radio from a member and tried a new antenna. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well known issue...get a Ford Escape 6CD audiophile unit or get yours repaired.
It may be cheaper just to buy one on eBay. Thats what I did - it was plug and play and chapter than the repair bill.
So you guys think the radio I purchased had the same issue?
Yes, it seems most of the OEM MM radio units eventually lose their FM capability. Most owners either switch to an aftermarket like a Pioneer double-din or grab an 05 Ford Escape Audiophile radio unit from a local yard. The Audiophile unit is plug-n-play and your steering wheel controls will work with it as well.

Thanks for the help guys, the gentleman that sold me the radio is a member here, I'll assume he didn't know it was a bad one.
I think I got mine fixed at United Radio or something like that.
