Won't turn on. Intermittently

[SPRSNK]

Happily I can say that mine is fixed now. Half way through this road trip and not an issue.

BFR: Our Raptors were built with the new BCM's. It was one of the hold ups on getting ours delivered. That and Dearborn closing down for a week. I think my build date is the 9th of Jan.

Yeah, my (and your) truck was not specifically a part of the recall. Seems as though mine was just an anomaly...maybe something related to the earlier problems or maybe just a rare exception.

So glad you've had no reoccurence. Hopdfully it stays that way. You didn't have anything done, did you?

Update - So BCM part arrived at dealer on Friday. Guess it got installed Friday or Today...but not working. Locked them out into theft mode. Apparently Ford then instructed them to put the old part back in...read in/download some code from the old part (some sort of info specific to my truck to identify and associate it with my keys or something) then put the new part back in and upload that info or load those settings onto the new part. Keeping fingers crossed. Any techs that have done a BCM swap have anything/tips to add...please jump right in. Thanks.

Well, I made it through the road trip without any issues.

Good Luck with yours BFR!

Man this makes me weary... Good luck getting your truck back in order! Are they going to reimburse you for the rental?? That is some serious bs...

I beleive Ford will take care of Tim (BFR).

Tim, make sure you tell customer service that you want your rental bill paid, and you want a 7 year / 125K ESP PremiumCare Ext Warr added at no charge.

Thxs Randy. Have already briefly discussed the warranty with them. I'm not anticipating any battle...as yesterday received word that local and Nat'l Ford techs together concluded that the replacement BCM part was also defective...so another 1 1/2 or 2 weeks likely wait for another part to arrive. Not happy but what can you do? I'm driving my FJ as I had not gotten around to selling it yet...so costs are more transportation and lodging, etc. I'm only hoping the local dealer techs down in Utah know what they were doing...ie that it was not something they did during install/handling that fried the new part. Seems they were working directly with Nat'l Ford techs to troubleshhot so I'm thinking it was just really ****** luck. ??

OK...so here we go. Round 2. 5th week without my truck. Keep your fingers crossed. The 2nd replacement BCM is supposed to be arriving today at the dealer. Let's see if it works this time... ??
