My truck has been at the dealership now for almost 3 weeks. Went in for the radio acting up, rebooting itself often, battery going low by itself, and a few other small issues. The APIM was replaced after a few days, they couldn't find anything wrong, but did a master reset, then things started throwing errors and gps wouldn't work. The few small things were quickly fixed, but they can't find anything draining the battery, however it's dropping by ~.1v every 12 hours or so. After it hit 11.9v, they said they would charge it up. They charged it for a while and it got to 12.5v but said they couldn't replace because it's coming back as good, just a low SOC. It kept dropping while it was there and after I complained enough, they said they'd do a courtesy replacement and I could pick it up last Friday. After about an hour they called back and said they need to hang onto it because now with the new battery they're getting ACM errors all over the place. Anyone here have any thoughts on what might be wrong and why a new battery would throw ACM errors. They said they reset BMS with the battery, but also started complaining because I apparently "have a lot of things tapped in" aka the one light strip in the front attached to fuse 21. I had to tell them that the service guy told me that's okay to use because Ford doesn't really care about that stuff as long as it's on a switch or switched fuse, which this is, since I don't have upfitter switches. This is the second time I brought it in for the battery after getting the truck about 2 months ago, and I didn't even have the lights in place the first time I brought it in.
Wondering if anyone here might know something, or might be able to see into the system to see which code(s) my truck is throwing? They aren't giving me much details, and I'm curious what is actually going on here.
