Fix for ranger in vehicle hotspot not working.

[cornpop]

I was able to easily resolve this issue, and did not find any info about it here so I figured I would share to help out anyone else that has this problem.

I noticed the issue because my dashcam was no longer connected to the cloud, I went to the FordPass connect setting, and when I clicked vehicle hotspot, I was greeted with the following message:

Vehicle Hotspot menu cannot be displayed at this moment. Please try again later.

The fix goes as follows:

1)power off truck and remove key

2)pop down the cover for the interior fuse box under the steering wheel

3)locate fuse #9 for Telematics, it's a red 3 pole 10 amp

4)remove the fuse, wait 6 minutes, then reinstall it.

5) power on the truck and the issue is fixed, you do not need to re-register anything, all passwords and settings are retained, everything should begin to work as intended immediately.

This is the way!

Old post but bumping this one. My truck doesn't get much love until summertime comes around. That's when I have to start driving my truck for hauling water toys.

Wife wanted to get some work done on our 3hr drive to lake, noticed the trucks wifi wasn't working. It said it was on but nope....no SSID broadcasting. When trying to turn off and on, was greeted with the message cornpop showed. I then noticed the Ford Pass app wasn't working either for starting/locking.

The advice above did the trick, had everything up and running in less than 10mins. Thanks!

Bumping this again since it's better then Tylenol to cure the Ford Pass hotspot headache.

This same thing happened to me, hotspot wasn't working, and it's been a huge issue for the last week. Ford's customer service and the apps customer service was about as useful as tits on a pelican.

I ended up wasting time reading a bunch of BS online and then this magically popped up and it worked perfectly! Thank you!

Had this problem today while on a trip. Was working fine the day before but would not hook to internet. Fordpass was working fine. Pulled fuse and waiting 10 minutes now working again.
