Steering and abs going out

[brianmurph17]

The other day my 17 raptor had to get towed into the shop because the steering went out. Once it got towed there they started working on it and claimed it was the aftermarket wiring on my truck. They disconnected the lights that I had on there and that didn’t do anything. Once it was at the shop I got a notification on my Ford app of a few other things going faulty as shown in the picture. Anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong with it. It has been in the dealership for almost a week and really need it back.

Maybe rodents got into your wiring harness, I know the early Gen 2s had wiring that mice liked to snack on. Not saying this is it, but could be other faulty wiring.

Unless you tapped a non-upfitter harness wire or 2, tell them to think on their sins and try harder this time.

You will get FordPass warnings like that when they work on it. As they diagnose, flash, unplug and replug stuff you will get all kinds of weird warnings they cause during the repair. Only worry about the ones that stick around after the truck is returned

Yeah those warning usually pop up when the ECU is getting flashed.

What was the aftermarket wiring tied into? Once the damage is done disconnecting it won’t fix anything.

The aftermarket wiring it tied into the aux switches

And those lights are still on after they flashed and replugged everything back in. They are trying to figure out what is causing those to be on but can’t figure out why

The codes are normal. The dealer is stupid. My rack blew today and every code in the book is flashing...makes me mad that these techs are so dumb

Not that techs are dumb , they have to follow a procedure and test points . Pin point tests . If not ford is not going to pay the warranty bill. They might of seen problem many time before but they do what ford hotline tells them first. Luckily I have a great goto mechanic at my local dealership. Never had a issue with his workmanship.
