I was driving home from a job today and the dash lights went off in my truck no gauges no tax no phone no speedometer ,on the center counsel display it said "system off to save battery "
Went to dealership right away ,they didn't have a technician to look at it ,told me think it might be the alternator?
Truck has 50,000 on it yesterday.
Does anybody have Idea?
Has this happened to someone else?

 

bad alternator, bad battery, bad battery cable or connection.

 

I picked up a alternator and I removed all kinds of stuff just to get my eyes on it!
I removed both bulls and for the life of me I can not get the dam thing to come up and out?
Is there some kind of trick to get it out?

 

Sounds like a PCM glitch. Maybe the truck reverted to "transport mode".

When the trucks leave the factory, they are in a low power transportation mode til they arrive at the dealer. This saves the battery as the factory does not know how long a truck will sit till it arrives at a dealer.

I was able to pry out the old altanator and put in a new one. It is putting out 17.9volts Gauges turning on and off, dummy light coming on and off battery light brake light traction control light and now the engine light?
Windows are not working the ac is not working no fans for heat,to radio.
Yesterday I was at the dealer and they keep asking if I have a extended warranty???
Has anybody had to replace the sync system?

 

Well I heard back from the ford dealer. They say that my wire harness is bad and they need to replace it. Said that I most of hit something and nicked the wires and than cauced it to corrode.will see how much this is going to cost me

 

OOF!
