I had something very similar happen to me as the OP. I had to go in three different times. The first time they replaced the bad battery with a new one. The second time, a few days later, the dealer replaced that new battery with another new one because the one they put in was bad. Finally, on...

Yes, no questions asked.

I got my truck back a few days ago. The dealer found a terminal pin was bad somewhere between the DCDC converter to the 12 Volt battery. They replaced the terminal and now so far, finger crossed, my 12 Volt battery has been charging like it should. In my previous two bad episodes, my battery...

Well my Truck died a third time with a dead battery in a matter of a few weeks. My wife works at our airport, and she tried to start the truck and it would not start. Threw a lot of errors. Can't get truck out of park, the same story as before. Called roadside assistance, and the tow company...

We could not activate the emergency neutral and the shifter was unmovable.

I recently had to replace my battery (Actually a couple of times. The first new battery was defective). But I was encountering weird electrical issues. Settings I had set would mysteriously change. I had to keep my key fob on my dash in order for the truck to sense it. I replaced the...

I had a very similar issue just like this a few weeks ago. My truck threw a lot of errors and would not start. I also could not get it out of park. I called a tow truck, and he simply got his dollies out and got it under the front wheels. The truck barely moved. My issue was a bad battery...

I forgot to do an update. It turns out the new replacement battery that my dealer put in was bad. They kept the truck for three days. Drove it around and found the battery did charge up and their Volt meter reading is where they are supposed to be. Fingers crossed all is well. So far, my...

Well, my truck died again last night. Basically, the same as my original issue, except this time I was unable to start the truck, and other things going off in my truck like the alarm system. I had the truck towed to the dealer. I hope they find the root cause and not just replace the battery...

Well, that is a bummer. I hope they find what is really causing the issue.

I got my truck back today from the dealer. As suspected, they found the 12 Volt battery was bad. They checked everything behind it, and all checked out. Hopefully, my issue is resolved. I did take my battery checker with me, as I suspected the battery would be low due to transit, long time...

For those of you who use Battery Maintainers. How often do you use them? Daily, Weekly, or Monthly?

So far it has not been really cold. It is coming. I do keep the truck in the garage and precondition before I leave for work. But I suspect your right, the cooler temperatures probably did it in.

Thanks for this information. The truck is at the dealer and I talked to their EV tech, and he said virtually the same thing as you. It is most likely the battery, but they are going to give the whole truck a once over. I should have the truck back on Monday.

I'm charging the way Ford Recommends. I took the 8 or so plastic screws. Like this image: I already have 4 missing plastic screws, so it was pretty easy for me to do this, otherwise I would have done it like you showed.

I absolutely could not turn off the truck. The truck was making a weird noise underneath by the big battery. I was on the phone with the mechanic while this was happening and said it was the 12V being extremely low and I should start charging and then after some charge I could turn the truck...

The battery is toast. I needed batteries for my Volt meter tool. I went to the store and got the batteries and then got home. I put the batteries in my Volt tool. I Started the truck and it immediately Power Train Malfunction except this time I could not shut down the truck. I had to pull...

I took my truck to O'Reily Auto Parts to do a battery load test since, the dealer is booked until Feb 4. O'Reily did the test and they said the battery looked good, but the charge level was very low. I did charge the battery to full right before I went to O'Reily and drove perhaps 6 miles at...

Will do, thank you so much.
