Turbo wastegate stuck shut/wire issue

[Superbuggy]

Oh, my poor truck! I got 3 codes in FordPass that basically say my turbo wastegate is stuck shut, and another code that says turbo wire issue. I was able to get right into the dealership first thing today, and a mechanic is on it. I’ll post an update when they tell me what’s up…

Sorry to hear you're having problems so soon Max. Hopefully it's an easy fix and you'll be back on the road soon.

**Update** the turbo wastegate solenoid is bad, they are waIting on the part but they say it’s drivable until they get it, so it’s all good for now

You will now experience what it feels like to drive a Taco.

I like your dealership. They sound efficient.

They are ok with you driving it with the waste gate stuck closed? That seems like it could go very wrong. Stuck open would suck but far less "danger to manifold" etc.

They seem to be so far. The sales team was awesome, and the service team is (so far) efficient and on the ball as well.

Yeah, I should clarify, lol: They told me the wastegate is opening and closing, but only at 75%, so it "works" just not as well as it should. They told me it's safe to drive 'till they get my new parts in a couple days. The truck is throwing codes though because there are faults, even if minor...

Is the waistgate motor serviceable separately from the turbo? This seems like a first for the Ranger but hey that is why we have a warranty

That’s what my service manager told me at any rate

Thanks. Just wondering if there was a change to the 2022’s in respect to turbocharger supplier and or wastegate actuator. From what I understand 2019-2021 were Borg Warner’s. Anyone up on this?

usually a rod of sufficient length (thermal isolation) from the solenoid connects to the waster gate - making it replaceable, most turbos now though are "integrated" into the exhaust manifold, which I have to believe makes it more of a chore to replace/rebuild/

IF the hot side housing is not damaged and the waste gate is ok then turbo can be removed and serviced where center section attaches to hot side/ manifold.
