Took it to the local Ford, they had it for 3 days and apparently replaced something behind the dash and said it’s good to go. I get there and fire it up, all this pops up just like it did Tuesday…The truck is undrivable and they said they have no idea what’s wrong with it

1) not okay that any vehicle can throw this many codes at once (obviously all these systems have not died coincidentally
2) not okay that a field service tech can't at least identify some common cause (I'm guessing one or more modules common to the power of all these systems has lost its ground or is on the fritz in the silicon.)
3) Ford needs some sort of new model diagnostics "escalation" process for field service … techs in the field can't be expected to handle these situations.
4) thankfully the first time I've read of this kind of pervasive systems failure

Good afternoon. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to look into this on my end.

I did this before posting and was told you cannot do anything because I am in Canada to send a message on FB to Ford Canada who in turn said it’s up to the dealer to figure out how to fix it…..which they have already told me they don’t know how to fix it

Hear me out - replace the battery. It is a common theme that a dud of a battery causes a cascade of error messages. All these modules not getting the proper voltage causes them to cut out. Tracks with your electronic accessories not working too. If you can, pull a known good battery out of another vehicle and drop it in, that way you can at least rule it out

This.
On my last truck- Ram 1500- the dealer had too replace the radio under warrenty. After I got it back I started to have a bunch of quick gliches- no speedomter, no radio, all warning light go off... it would last about 1-2 sec and go back to normal. Dealer kept it 2 days and could not repoduce it. I got it back and was driving down dirt road when it died. Popped the hood and the positive battery cable was loose. They took it off when they replaced the radio and then just set back on post but did not tighten it down. It was GTG after I tighten it on post

Hmmm. I will call the dealer and request this tomorrow thanks.

Update: they called Ford Canada for help and are requesting they send an engineer to visit…..

Keep us posted - Interested to see what the fix is.
Still waiting on a new PCM to come from the States. I’m in Toronto and we got 2 feet of snow Monday + new trucker vaccine rules means the part is probably still in the States lol.
3 weeks tomorrow that I’ve been without my PowerBoost…
