Update;

Driver side fog light and Driverside cargo light are both flickering, and both are led replacements. Not sure if it's a battery issue, or if they need an adapter.

Also, my auto start doesn't work because the battery is constatly charging it says.

Otherwise the truck starts right up every time. All other lights work, led replacements included.

I've bought an adaptor for the fog light, to see if that fixes the issue.
I'm also going to disable the grille raptor lights, and the interior light strips.

Hopefully that works.

Plan B will be testing the battery and buying a new one if necessary.

Yes the battery is a common issue, charging system doesn't keep it fully charged. Search battery forums and you will see the recommendations.

Update;

I removed the raptor grille lights, I was on the fence about them and just went ahead and removed them.

The flickering cargo led light was replaced, I went ahead and replaced both. Flickering gone.

The flickering fog led light was inspected and I found it was the bulb itself and not the battery. Replacements ordered.

The Auto start system is still disabled due to vehicle charging, even after a 15mile drive. This has been going on for months now.

New glitch with the front screen. It didn’t turn on, even after restarting the vehicle. No rear camera. Although the sensors worked.

Odometer reads 29936 miles. I have an appointment for an oil change tomorrow and will bring up the electrical issues. Hopefully these are just bugs that can be fixed by either a better replacement or resetting the on-board computer.

Update:

Dealership changed out the battery free of charge. It’s a common problem they stated. It’s covered under the 3y/36k mile warranty.

The Ranger is back to 100%
