a WTF Strangeness at 60K

[Grandaccess]

Things that make ya go Hmmmm
Yesterday I was in a parking lot and the dash heads up went crazy, clicking Ok did nothing, I turned the truck off and on again a few times and everything has been normal since, I did have a car trailer on and plugged in but thats not out of the norm ....

Maybe your connection was loose, bad ground, or a short in the trailer harness.

Sounds like the one time Gremlins others had.

At 60000 ? That was probably the powertrain warranty expiration sequence...

If I have it towed in, but if I have to drive it I will be over 60k LOL

There's always a solution to a problem.......Think outside the box.

The milage is displayed in his video with the fault- good to go!

I'd run it by your service advisor. Upload the video to them which contains the fault and the odometer reading, and explain that it would be over the 60K mark upon arrival.

When I bought my ext warranty, they padded the current milage by +400 mi; They should be willing and able to write the work order using the milage on the video. Worth a shot.

Will Ford roadside assistance cover that tow?

It appears to have been a bad connection - Trailer Connector or associated connectors (Truck Side) as it was picking up - Trailer Connected - Cross Traffic - Deactivated - and then Trailer Disconnected - if you slow the video down you can see the messages

Parking Lot - Possible Tight Turns - Pulled the wiring just enough to trigger the issue

Two of the errors I have gotten for over a year when the mirror and tail light were replaced the place that did it couldnt change the brain to make it see the new sensors and they said I would have to take it to Ford to have it programed and I wasnt going to spend another dime, so every time I start the truck I have to click Ok a few times to get the messages to go away, and I have been ok with that because everything still works as it should like the radar and cross traffic, and those errors havent stopped it from passing my state inspection ....
I also get two more errors, one for back seat belt fault and oil change required I click ok on too LOL
I keep thinking I will spend all kinds of money getting everything fixed and then the tranny will fail, or the Ok Button will fail next because it gets used more than anything

Had that issue couple months ago with car trailer. Electrical grease stopped it next run, then started doing regularly. Dang going to have to do a change out pickup plug, hooked up to camper, doing spring system flush/maintenance, driving around, no issue, so replaced car trailer pig tail. No issues since.

Ok, I would need a refresh - The BLIS module was replaced and never programed?

1. The oil change required - can be reset via the - IPC Menu
2. The BLIS Module can be reprogramed with Forscan

Modern day vehicles are like our computers or phones. The software just glitches, off, unplug it for 20 seconds plug it in turn on.
