Has anyone had any electrical issues with his/her transfer case after driving through a rain storm? I had some notifications on the console show up some time after driving through decent dump of water on the highway.

I arrived at my destination about 20 minutes after I drove through the "big puddles." I parked for around 15 minutes and then the first error popped up 5 minutes down the road. The first error was a picture of a battery with an error code I don't recall. I lost power for a second, but was able to get through the intersection and then power resumed.

The second error code was for the 4x4 (see attached). The truck kicked me out of 4A and sent the accompanying error to my phone. I called the dealer who had me put the truck into 4H, which didn't cause any problems, so we figured it was just some type of glitch. A few hours later, I was kicked out of 4A again with the same codes.

The dealer claims it is an electrical issue with the transfer case. They haven't been able to get the part, so he's getting me a new transfer case from Ford. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar issue.

I'd be curious to know how long it takes them to get you a transfer case ...

The funny thing is that I've been told the transfer case is only going to take a few days, while the freaking bearing was going to take 2 months. This is the second time the dealer went after Ford to get the entire unit. I dropped the truck off on July 24th. We'll see...

So you've been waiting for almost a month already for a transfer case? How much longer did they say it was going to be?

Initially, Ford denied the entire transfer case, so we waited for the parts. The dealer pushed again for a new transfer case because the bearing is back ordered into Sept. Yesterday, the dealer called to tell me had approval for the transfer case and that he thought I'd get her back to me by the end of the week.

Very similar to my problem in my 2017. Have had these damn lights coming on for a year now and my dealer can't figure it out. After replacing the harness from the trans to the computer, an alignment, abs module, and a restraint control module its still doing it..been without it now for 30 days so I started a buy back claim with ford..hope to get a 2020
