Electrical problem

[matt ziso]

Hi everyone I’m new to the raptor world.
Just got 2020 raptor and went off road.
As soon as I was on my way back home all the sudden the blond spot sensor fail and my seal and steering wheel along with my AC and windows stop working. Anybody had this issue and if he did do u know what was the problem.
Many thanks

It sounds familiar, not common, but somebody had that happen, I can't remember offhand what he did to fix it. Hopefully somebody chimes in. Did you get any cel's on the dash?

Thanks. Sorry don’t understand the meaning of cels on the dash.

My blond sensor goes off on the regular. Especially if she has big cans.

Check for a broken ABS wire at the wheels maybe.

Look up "forscan" as well, that is a free diagnostic software tool for Ford trucks and will let you know what, if, any codes "dtc's" are stored in your truck. You just need to order an adaptor off of amazon to hook up your laptop. CEL= Check Engine Light, btw.

It sounds like there is an issue affecting the Medium Speed CAN (MS-CAN) bus; all of those systems communicate with each other on that network.

The first thing to check is the tail lamps; look for moisture/water that may have entered them due to damage or being submerged while off road. Water will short the connector pins and pull down network communication. If there are no water intrusion issues, inspect the harness under the rear of the truck. The MS-CAN wires run through that harness to the taillights. Look for trail damage, water intrusion, rodent damage, etc. As others mentioned, you can download ForScan for free and buy a compatible adapter so you can pull codes.
