Need Help - Issue after Bumper Swap

[Jesse1983]

Yea that’ll do it. As Idaho mentioned, the damaged section of the wires will need to be cut out and the wires will need to be soldered back together. It’s critical that the solder penetrates the strands; it can’t just be on the surface of the wires or there will be high resistance. If your not skilled in wiring repair you may want to bring it to a shop to have them fix it. Also note that generic heat shrink tubing from an auto parts store can allow water to migrate into the joint; only use Ford/Motorcraft heat shrink tubing, which contains a glue that seals the ends of the tubing when heated.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help! Any advice on what fuses to check?

Marine grade shrink tube also has glue to prevent moisture intrusion.

Start with F36 in the Battery Junction Box (BJB), which is in the engine compartment. It provides power to the turbocharger bypass valve, oil pressure control solenoid, and cabin heater coolant pump.

I think the issue really started by you going to Starbucks! Your truck is rebelling against you and gnawed those wires in fear of the drive-up window ahead. Seriously thou, good luck with the repair.

Well I sucked it up and took it to the dealer who surprisingly was able to fit me in. $300 later and I'm back to normal haha. Certainly the most expensive hood closing I've ever experienced! Won't make that mistake again. Thanks everyone for the help.

Not too terribly bad and you’re back on the road. That’s all that matters.

Do you know what they did to fix it? I have the same exact codes from the front bumper Barnes being ripped but has been repaired now. Was it a fuse?

Where is F36 in the box? When I look up the diagram it skips from fuse 34-37, and none of them are labeled for those things
