Broken turn signal module putting truck out of commission indefinitely

I thought the 11th digit of your VIN tells you + on my 2016 it was labeled inside the driver door area.

Window Sticker will tell you as well: DRB for Dearborn

i don’t have the truck to look at the sticker or door. It’s at the dealer for who knows how long. My Ford pass shows the VIN # as 1FTFW1ED2MFA49519

I'm tracking it was built @ the Dearborn plant

No, I don’t.

You can also check the sticker on the lower corner of the windshield on the passenger side.

Got my truck back today with the new module for the turn signal. They took the part from the assembly plant and shipped it. I was told they couldn’t pull one out of a truck they already had on the lot because once it was programmed for a specific truck it couldn’t be programmed for a different truck.

Probably told you this ‘cause you might accept the explanation, but not believe it.

Gotta keep in mind, that this is not the dealer or most likely Ford’s fault, but they will be held accountable for it.

I fully understand the hesitance of removing from another car on the lot. Not only will they need to be paying techs two times for the same thing, but it also ties up a possible sale.

Pretty sure they don’t want to fall into that scene years ago when YUGO dealers were raping new cars for parts because of availability and lead times.
I’d almost bet that half of those new cars were never repaired and sold for scrap ( no great loss)
