Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

[LightningB514]

Just curious what “driver error” you think might be involved here?

It’s someone trying to be a smart ass. I’ve taken good care of the truck and follow all the best EV practices and have for years. This is a vehicle error not a driver error.

That’s me yesterday, morning jumped in the truck and suddenly threw bunch of error messages and it’s not drivable. The 12 v battery was replaced by the dealer a month ago. Talked to them they are asking to bring it in. I have to pay couple of hundreds to get it towed will post an update if I have a new development.

Probably just a case of "driver error" /s

I just got an update this morning. My truck is fixed!!! They said there was wires shorting out near the airbag causing all of this. I’m a good pick it up this afternoon! Hope all goes well!

My Ford dealer just sent a mobile service to check it. The tech said that there is a problem with high speed CAN modules that are not communicating and it might be a wiring issue. I need to tow the truck to them

Happy to hear your truck is fixed. If possible, can you post a picture of your paperwork from the dealership with repair description? It might help others in the future who face a similar issue. Also, it might be a stop to preemptively diagnose a tight wire, etc.

Wow, good thing it did not cause the airbag to deploy!!!

Everyone focused on "broke down" but...what about the 'unexpectedly' part?

Are break downs ever 'expected?'

That has me gruntled!

Thanks for sharing. Shout out to that tech for great notes (each color wire identified)...I hope that is a permanent fix for you. Nerd in me: I'd like to see a pic of that exact bracket/connector to peek at.

I wonder which harness it was. Would be nice to know the location in the frunk where this was taking place so others might check to see if they have the same potential issue. Glad they were able to find the issue sounds like a good tech was working on it.
