WTF IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK

[GrumpyRanger]

So this has happened a few times now. I've done nothing electrical with the truck except change out the horn. And mechanical I've replaced the charge pipes. And this truck is a pavement queen with 9000 miles
I'll try to post a pic and video

Also the truck will not shut off. Key is in off dash shuts off lights shut off engine keeps running.

Time to get it into a dealership if it's happened a few times.

That's happening in the morning. Obviously

Have you tried removing the negative terminal and reconnecting after letting it rest a moment. 99% of technical problems solved that way lol Will it move or are you going to need a tow?

It won't shut off... Drives fine. Minus wipers not working, ac not working, auto headlights not working and God knows what else. Oh the 4*4 selector doesn't work or the TM button either

It's time to stop posting on the internet and call the dealer for a tow

Hi GR,

The Key to me is you changed out your horn. There is a large electrical connector in that area behind the left headlignt butcket and I am thinking you knocked this connector apart or partially disconnected it...

What did the dealer say

Mechanics rule of thumb is look first at where the last work was done. It usually is the f part of your post title. ?

Maybe it’s just haunted.

Alright folks UPDATE TIME!!

Just got the truck back from ford. So the solution was simple... Replace two modules that were not communicating with each other and we're causing the rest to act wonky.

The tech said he's never seen this issue on new vehicles, typically the computers don't just shit the bed in the first few years.... Typically. I'll upload a pic of the write-up from ford in a few.
