2022 Raptor Major electrical issues

[Tommy21]

Has anyone else experienced an issue where the Dash lights up with Trailer Fault, Drive mode Fault, Headlight Fault and the reverse lights flashing with constant chime? The truck has 3,000 miles and is 5 months old, has been at the dealer for three weeks the first time (fix lasted for 2 days then did the same exact thing) and is going on two weeks the second time around. The headlights facing the ground and reverse lights flashing makes the truck non op out of safety. Ford doesn't seem to know what's wrong....

Only time I ever get a trailer fault is when I’m towing with a utility trailer that doesn’t have integrated braking systems. This looks like you have a software issue or a control module needs to be replaced. What faults are the techs getting when they scan it?

My ‘22 just experienced the “trailer fault” last week after getting a full detail wash. Not sure why it popped up, but it did it for about 2-3 minutes and then went away. It hasn’t done it since. I constantly have issues with my SYNC setup though. Ever since the new update came out (Apple/Android Auto Full Screen) I’ve had an issue connecting my phone, playing music through the phone, satellite radio issues, all kinds of weird things.

I’ve got a ’17 Rap and setup Ford pass in ... maybe 2 minutes? OTOH, our 2020 Lincoln with its Lincoln Way app, basically a rebadged Ford Pass, took probably half a dozen attempts, was buggy for probably 6 months. I had stopped trying to use it after week 3. There are only so many uninstall the app, reinstall the app, re-pair the phone actions you can take, getting the same result until you realize they can’t fix it. I suppose enough updates came out because when I checked several months later, the app was mysteriously recognizing the vehicle, and could control the car.

Sometimes the tech gets in the way of enjoying the vehicle.

So far they replaced the VCM (I think a suspension module), it took a month and worked for 5 miles before it was doing the same thing. Next they replaced the full fuse panel under the hood (had it for three weeks) went to pick it up and they dealer scratched the hood and fender. So I'm not sure if that fixed it. I'll say, I thought Ford quality was much better before I bought a $90k truck... If it happens again I'm going to start the lemon law process.

This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out. I had a ton of similar faults and errors popping up for a few days when I was in the first few thousand miles of my Gen 3.

CHECK BOTH FUSE BOXES UNDER HOOD AND PASSENGER FOOTWELL. It sounds ridiculous but I found that probably 75% of my fuses either weren’t seated at all, so r not all the way. I made sure every single one was fully seated and I haven’t had a single issue since.

Think about how fast the factory throws the fuses in, do you think they really take the time to ensure every one is fully seated?

I had similar issues and it fixed them, and yes the dealer couldn’t figure it out either, so don’t assume they’re smart enough to check fuses.

I really hope this gets fixed.

good luck man.

try pushing in all of the fuses. if that doesnt work disconnect the battery for a while then reconnect and try again

Old BMW m3 trick.... lol.

I tried the fuse trick and they were loose, but didn’t solve it. They ended up changing the whole fuse box and I think a few wire harnesses. So far it’s worked (about 300 miles).
