[QUOTE="swoop1156, post: 1965168, member: 580"] Unhooked ground wire today. I cannot think of anything else unless one of the popular FORScan modifications caused an issue - though I'd doubt that I'd be the first to bring it to light. I disconnected the ground today so there's absolutely zero anything physically connected to the dashcam. I was away for two weeks from the truck and upon my return, I noticed that it would unlock VIA the keyfob, and FordPass App never said it was in deep sleep or anything. After I unlocked the truck, the welcome lighting didn't illuminate, nor did the interior lighting when a door was opened. I checked the switch on the overhead console and it wasn't turned off. Anyway, I drove the truck this morning and it was charging at 14.5V and after a while of short trips (most of mine are, which I'm also wondering if there's an issue with short trips) it went back down to 13-13.5. The welcome lighting began to work again and the interior lights functioned normally. It was after all that as to when I disconnected the ground. I'll give it a few days and see if anything changes. I have a multitude of vehicles to drive, so I can leave the Raptor to sit if need be for "totally scientific" testing. Cheers to [USER=32927]@Antho[/USER] and [USER=35543]@FordTechOne[/USER] for all your knowledge and insight. [USER=58122]@WestlakeHorn[/USER] my terminals were tight. I broke them loose, visually inspected them, and then tightened them back down after a little wiggle back and forth for good measure. [/QUOTE]
