‘23 F-150 Tremor wouldn’t start

[ashr0286]

First post in here y’all. I searched this forum and found some helpful information but my issue doesn’t appear to be battery related? My truck has 800 Miles on it. I drove back from the mountains (3-Hours) and parked my car in my driveway and washed it. I went to start it up and it wouldn’t start. It started after I jumped it. Then I had a “Check Headlight System” warning later in the evening where my brights wouldn’t work, with the rapid clicking turn signal. Battery tested good today at Ford. Any ideas? Pics and video below. Thanks in advance

climb out on a limb and say your battery is bad.
did they disconnect battery and run load test
and is battery correct size ?

and if they charged it at the posts it may not register in trucks battery management system.
after you drove home, did the message re-appear?
can you charge it over a longer period like 6 to 8 hrs for the agm setting?

I’m not sure if they disconnected the battery and did a load test. They just gave me those results I posted above from their test. I’m no car expert so I didn’t know I should have mentioned that to them. I can look at the battery that’s installed and post a pic here.
I’d have to buy a charger as I don’t have one. The message hasn’t re-appeared since last night. The car has started up every time today with only one time where it hesitated.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

I had similar issues until Dealer replaced battery even though it initially tested okay. Even my salesman told me that they are seeing a lot of this. He said, unofficially, he feels like 1 in 10 trucks has a premature battery failure causing electrical gremlins.
