All engine lights flickering and engine will not start

[SRA]

I have a 2022 first edition lariat and twice it has happened that all engine lights will flicker and the car will not start. After I disconnect the main battery ground and reconnect it will start.

Any ideas?

Check on recall for battery cable

Check on recall for battery cable

Because he has that special Ecoboost truck with the Hybrid cable?

Check on recall for battery cable

yeah, thought that was hybrids
but any who, I suspect a flakey ground or loose/compromised connector plug.

Corrosion on the battery terminals?

I think I'm chasing the same problem on my '23. Twice now it will randomly not start. All lights come in when when the key goes in but there is zero juice to start it. Acts like a dead battery when you turn the key to start position.

First time I tossed a charger on it for about a minute and it fired right up. Battery tested normal.

Worked fine for about 2-3 weeks and it randomly did it again. I popped the hood release, took a leak behind the building real quick, and decided to video what what going on when I tried to turn the key Incase down the road it was a "sorry, can't replicate it" situation. Turned the key and the damn thing fired right up. Pretty sure I've got a bad ground situation or something somewhere beyond the battery terminal. No messages in the app and no CEL on the dash.

Hi there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.
