Ford Motor Company has been incredibly helpful for us. Using the remote start for use worked well for awhile. We had it at our dealer (who have been incredible), they found some minor electrical issues and did a software update and no further problems (Knock wood). The other thing we have...
First long trip planned so hopefully the tips here plus the computer update will get us through. I agree, this forum with experts like Snakebitten and Ford Service have definitely given us more confidence. Fingers crossed!

I"ve noticed that every time we walk close to the truck in our garage with our keys it "wakes up", I'm wondering if that contributes to battery drain. The dealer had already replaced our batteries and starter, going to try driving it more to see if it prevents the battery drain.
We have gone through this with our new 2023. Ford and our dealer have been great. You may also get a "Full Power Accessory Mode" message, dealer has had it twice and been very supportive. Just added a new software update and we have not had the issue again... Hoping it solved the problem.
