Hi Shawn,After leaving the battery disconnected overnight, I went out to the truck yesterday morning and it started right up. I shutoff As/s system and unchecked "engine auto off" and drove back home never shutting off the engine. I will either drive it or tow it to Friendly Ford today to let their expert give it a try. This would rule out a mechanical problem, wouldn't it, Phil ?
No, last visit to the dealer they couldn't get it to reoccur.. Next time it happens I'll be printing out this whole thread and bringing it with meDid you get a new starter assy., Shawn?
Phil, that was exactly what would happen to starters back in our day.. but once they were at the bad spot, it usually was done until you pushed the car some to move the starter some. This felt (and still does) like some connection in the assembly going bad.Hi Shawn,
Sorry...late to the thread, but not necessarily as you found that the starter was the problem. I had a 1975 F150 that was diagnosed with a bad spot on the armature. Not sure this is your problem but I had the same thing...no start...then overnight no problem....like a slot machine, pull the lever and see what happens. Starter only stopped on the bad spot randomly. Replaced the starter, sent the old one back to GPD (General Parts Division) for analysis....yep bad spot on the armature.... GPD is Now FPSD...Ford Parts and Service Division...

HI Rich,
File a complaint with Ford Customer Service. Generate a concern number. The the dealer has something to which they can charge their time and money... You will have to elevate this above the call center in the Philippines. Insist to talk to a US based Customer Service Rep.

Shawn,
Phil, in another posting/thread, suggests a method/procedure, to generate a "concern number", allowing your repair to proceed/dealer assistance from Ford!!!

Hi Shawn,It finally came back. This time won't start at tall. Was happy with that, as now they have something they can find.
Towed off to the dealer on Fri, they've given me a courtesy car.
I also told them about this site and the other people who had the same problem/same symptoms, and asked them to get in touch with upper level Ford people.
They only work half days now due to covid, but hope to hear from them today/tomorrow.
Got the call yesterday, start assembly on its way..Hi Shawn,
Sorry to see you have this problem, but at least the dealer will have to find the problem to get it started. Keep us posted on what they found!

That's a scary one. My problem has not reappeared since Memorial day replacement of the starter assembly.Went to unlock my 2019 Ranger XLT today with my remote and no response. My wife then tried her remote with no response. Used the key to unlock the truck and attempted to start the truck with the key. Entire electrical system was dead. No lights, no noise, no nothing - completely dead. Even door locks and all remote functions dead. After about 5-10 minutes of panic, the truck came back to life. Not sure why it happened but now the Ranger has lost my trust as dependable. Any ideas or similar electrical problems?
