I confirmed an odd occurrence tonight. I swore I've heard random chiming and whirring from my truck, usually after I get out and lock it and have walked away. Sort of like when you do a remote start, fuel pump whirs, truck chimes and then starts. I though maybe it was just the truck shutting down or I hit a button on the key. It has happened when I've approached the truck too and I swear I hadn't hit the key.
Tonight I was in the garage, truck in the driveway keys in the house, phone in the house, and the truck chimes a few times and the whirring happens, then nothing. It stops.
It's an XLT so no fob. No lights flashed outside. I wasn't close enough to see if any dash lights were on. I haven't driven it since Saturday.
It is close enough to connect to the home wifi. Wonder if it was checking in or getting an update?
Anyone else experience something similar?

Your Ranger sounds like it has imprinted on you (like a duckling) and it gets emotional when you get near or leave it.
Yeah, I miss being with the truck on a daily basis too.:crying: Maybe time for a day off to go on a long drive and get some seat time.?

It's quite common to hear this. Like mine primes the high pressure pump every so often while parked extensively. There's a lot going on with this truck like no other vehicle I've owned, but nothing appears abnormal. Just nature of the beast.
