At times, ford ran a larger 12/14 gauge ground wire with a connector to that tab much like the older ford radios with the 12ga flat braided ground strap that use to attach to the back of the radio.

Easy test for you to check is tap the ground wire or a part of the dash to that tab or the radio chassis near it obviously will work equally it seems and see if that cures your issue.

Also, if you have a DVOM or even a simple computer safe test light. You can check your harness for ground, ign, and hot just to be sure a fuse didn't go out on you.

If all works as intended, the radio could be shot.
