Anyone seen this one before? Truck won’t start, all errors flash up on screen and warning lights appear. Wont shift into neutral at all. Shift light is blinking, start button is blinking. Tried unplugging battery for an hour to no effect.

There is also a back up 12 V battery under the rear passenger seat. In order to do a full reset you have to disconnect that battery as well. This battery is only in the powerboost.

Do you have a known good battery you could try? Bad batteries will often show a surface charge but are not able to handle the demand of starting and quickly drain down. You mentioned it was showing 11.6 volts before? That’s definitely low

Not off hand. I’ll see if I can come up with one, otherwise I’m hoping to get it in to the dealer first thing tomorrow.

Same thing happened to me the morning of 2/12. As I was trying to shift it to neutral while the starter was clicking the shift lever detached from the column…aka broke off. I had to get it towed to the dealer. Once I get the truck back I will immediately turn off over the air updates.

It doesn’t appear to be a software update that caused it. I’ve been stuck on a failed error for updates and nothing it’s being reported differently yet. But I can’t rule it out yet. I drove it 4 hours earlier just fine.

Yeah, my shifter broke off too. I was able to wedge a screwdriver in there to shift gears. Since there are no parts available, you might have to try the same thing.

Hello there! Could you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I'd like to see what I can do to get your truck back on the road ASAP!

They found a broken wire causing communication issues to the pcm on mine. Spliced and now it’s working good.
