Fordpass location not working

[GJG]

fp has stopped locating my truck for a week
no lock unlock no remote start
fuel level stuck at a week ago
connectivity icon gone from screen

today decide to unplug reboot the tcu

before i do i check fp and it still is broken

went to settings connectivity to double check all switches are on and get a message that there is no connectivity, try later or take it in to dealer

so i unplug tcu to let it drain power

an hour later i am reading this thread and decide to open fp and low and behold my truck updated an hour ago

so…….did my jiggling the wire plugs trying to unplug them fix it just before i actually got them unplugged ? Bad connection??????

will update after plugging it back up and see if it is working


I posted the above originally in the powerboost forum. Reposting it here for more visibility

update……..

I plugged tcu back up after 2.5 hrs

started the truck and saw the connectivity icon for a split second and it disappeared

went to settings…..connectivity and nothing

fp still not connecting

figuring i wasted 3 hrs i fixed a bourbon to drown my sorrows

after 30 mins or so i tried fp and it immediately gave me updated location. All functions working!! Guessing the tcu needed a few minutes to power up.

wondering if some tcu issues are the wiring plugins? Seems like a big coincidence that it just happened to connect while i was jiggling the wiring while trying to figure out how they release for unplugging……

there it is……YMMV…..

Worked perfectly……for 36 hours approximately. Dead as a door nail now……

guess the tcu is bad and will need a dealer visit. Great!!
