I'm going to try to run this down. I have found similar problems on here but not all the same issues.
Mav was built in Oct 21, delivered Jan 22. Roughly 3100 miles on it. Last week, after driving it for roughly 25 minutes I got out and noticed it did not shutdown normally. I was in a hurry and did not stop to investigate. Just noted that it seemed odd. When I returned to the vehicle I attempted to unlock it with the Fob and got 0 response. Driver door was unlocked. I had pressed the lock button after exit. Attempted to start, 0 response. Nothing responded. No lights, no locks, nothing. Got out the jump pack, hooked up, attempted to jump. Power comes back to some of the vehicle, a bunch of random clicks and whirls under the hood but engine does not start and jump pack is visibly being drained. The power indicator on the box is just ticking down even if not cranking. I called the Dealer, they were closed. My buddy trys jumping it with his rig and it turns over.
The gas gauge has reset itself as well as the miles to empty. Radio presets have changed. Bluetooth says connected but is turned off on display, phone plays music through speakers but infotainment doesn't respond to controls. Several minor gremlins like that.
I get home, another 25 minute drive. Park, truck looses all power. Doors won't lock.
Next morning got ahold of the dealer, go out to check, starts like nothing is wrong. Drives like normal to dealer. At dealer I notice that the gauges have changed again and read full, and reset the trip. Go inside drop it off. Tech drives it in, and then it dies again (thankfully). I was worried this would be a ghost issue, that never gets found. Sadly may have been right.
Techs look at it, can't find any issues, it's running fine. It dies on them, they can't sort out why. They run several tests and check for known issues and recalls. They say they checked the harness. They say that it seems like everything has power, but nothing is getting power. They call Ford.
During one of the phone calls I tell them about the battery harness issue. They say they've checked it.
Has anyone had something similar to this happen to them? If so, did your dealer fix it? I appreciate some folks want to help, but I am not looking for a bandaid or DYI fix.
