I have a SEL, Ford Pass says it’s a Knock sensor failure on my 2019 Lariat with 27,000 miles.

has anyone else had this issue? I hear the intake needs to be removed, any idea on the flat rate for R&R?
Thanks

Should be free under your powertrain warranty.

Well warranty will not cover rodent abuse! Dealer called this AM and informed me that it was defective due to the wire being gnawed through by some critter.
So total will be ~$400.00.
I am curious as to why after 2 years, the rodents are now attacking my wiring? I’ve lived her for 14 years with other Ford vehicles with zero issues!
Anybody got ideas on how to keep rodents from gnawing on my wires. I do live out in the country so that may add to the issue.
Thanks
Neil

Someone posted some type of thing they leave under the hood... Darn... I wish I could remember. It smells bad to rodents I think. Someone rural life will know what I am talking about.

mothballs?
I think it was the rat poison block but by the brand name. But I guess after looking up on google various things, lots mention Mouse Blocker Pro Model with good success.

I’m using Grandpa Gus packets and spraying Rodent Defense under the hood and wheel wells. Time will tell.

BTW, can’t use any poison due to my 5 dogs. If one of those rodents got caught by my crew it could be bad for them!

Grandpa Gus works wonders to keep them out of my garage.

One of these?

Seriously. I use a bowl of whole cloves and pepper corns in my grill and smoker. It keeps them out of there might be able to fill a sock and keep it under the hood
