What wiring harness

Sorry Guys. The post is on another raptor forum. Apparently, I cannot tell you the site on this site, but try looking under raptor forums, spelling needs to be manipulated. A Gen 2 guy, experiencing similar problems, had his wiring harness hitting his exhaust. Harness had to be replaced. He did post picks. Can be found on that forum under the 2017 section, "Problems with my Raptor" Hope this helps.

HINT, replace the "s" in forums with a "Z"

Just trying to help. There is another post with the same wiring harness hitting the exhaust, and that guy had your symptoms. I'm still looking, but if I were you, I would at the very least, cross this off my list of things to check.

I wish I checked it before taking it there but it's all good.

Found the other one, its the Body Control Module Harness

Here is a cut and paste of the other dudes writeup:

Picked mine up tonight and after I drove it for 6 miles with 16 miles on the odometer and 6 miles away from the dealership, it died!!! Came to a major intersection and all the panel lights start going off. It just won't start. It died like auto-start concept when I stepped on the peddle. Nothing! 15 minutes later no screen was on. Music was playing but nothing else.

Tried both keys nothing. Keep in mind I am in a major intersection with traffics for miles. Three police cars showed up, hundreds of people honking and screaming, every stupid dodge trucks passing by are being ********. Brand new Raptor stuck on the middle lane of the roads.

Dealership in the Springs don't know jack shit at 1900 at night to help. Ford Services were closed. Yes tow truck. Everyone has a truck in their drive way that runs. Mine is dead. 3 1/2 years of saving and waiting-shit show.

Someone is getting their shit pushed in tomorrow on why I am in this dilemma. Shouldn't the courtesy delivery folks make sure the truck is straight prior to delivery? Am the only one with this issue.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please help as I am about to go ape shit on someone... Tried both keys and nothing. Shut truck off multiple times. Nothing.

Needing major help on many suggestion!

This is the writeup he posted with the photo:

Well. I am far beyond mad and frustrated. There is really no need for useless words but I figured I can help someone, maybe.

This fellow Rangers is the harness that leads to the Body Control Module. Before you start your beast up tonight or tomorrow check under. My truck's harness was not properly installed/secured which end up on the exhaust system. It burnt it which led to the module being a retard. So now they think the actual problem was the harness of wires.

Like I said...I'm not saying anything crazy but please boys check your stuff. We all have those days/weeks. I'll take one for the team this week.

Wish me luck. I'm not waiting another 3 1/2 years for another one so I'll wait till it's fixed.

More shit quality control from Ford. For ***** sakes! When is all of this shit going to end? Having a harness melt to the point of killing the truck could put someone in a really ****** situation real quick. I hope everyone goes and checks their truck. It's not worth the risk. Ford better step up their game. Guys are shelling out some serious $$$$ for this shit show and it's not fair to the guys that have been commited from the beginning to get the shaft!

Please add this to the thread where the rest of the 17' Raptor problems are posted so everyone else can be aware!
