Help requested - Audio not working. Update - truck is dead

Just got the word that my truck is finally all fixed! I will head down on Sunday to pick it up Monday morning.

Shout out to Koons Falls Church Ford in VA (https://www.koonsfordfallschurch.com/) as they have been fantastic both in fixing it quickly and in being very open and communicative on status! If anyone in the D.C. area needs a good dealer for maintenance I highly recommend them.

Always great to hear of a satisfied customer regarding a dealers service/communication skills.

Can’t say enough about Koons. Koons Annapolis took care of my issues when I had them.

Got my truck back. She is driving great now, but still no audio, no hands-free, and the clock still won't auto set ....

Those are simple add ons you never really expected to work anyway right?

BECM replaced, HVBJB terminals replaced, and work associated with both.

That's nuts...is there pending other repairs - did the dealer still show those as problems needing fixed?

No they didn't. I am just glad it is driving again. 350 or so miles to get back home.

I made an appointment with my dealer for next week

My wife keeps telling me I need to trade it in and get rid of it after all these issues! ?

I wouldn't doubt it. Good luck in whatever route you choose.

Well, we are still about $7k upside down on the loan in the best case, so I won't be doing anything anytime soon!

Oh, interesting anecdotal data point for all the EV FUD out there. Trip down and back to get my truck was almost exactly 400 miles each way - nominally a 6 hour non-stop drive. Our rental ICE F150 had the large fuel tank and made the trip without refueling, still with bio-breaks and traffic it took us 8.5 hours down (on a Sunday).

Coming back, we did the trip in 7.5 hours in the Lightning. On a Monday through DC rush hour traffic.

Ok - I just realized this morning that my truck isn't getting a GPS location (built in map shows the truck in the middle of the ocean with a blinking '?' on it). That explains hands-free not engaging and the clock not wanting to auto-update since it can't figure out what time zone it is in.

Are the GPS system and Audio system connected in any way?
