cel light, battery light
My 2015 Powerstroke started with all the dash light coming on, cel, battery light, brake light, etc. and message saying check brakes. I pull over and shut pickup off try to restart and nothing. Won't turn over. Pretty frustrated as this is twice in two days this had happened. 22,000 miles on it and wondering if I didn't buy a pos

Sounds like a trip back to the dealer is in store for you, whatever is going on can and should be handled under warranty. Have you tried reading the codes yet? That will at least give you a place to start looking.

Going back to dealer in the morning. Batteries are good. Going to have to invest in code reader that's for sure. From out of town and I use my pickup for business and can't even leave as truck won't run more then couple hours before it decides to throw all the alarms at once

If you can get it running long enough to hit an Autozone or other big name parts house, they can read the codes for you, at no charge. Then you can spend the rest of the night reading up on whatever you found that it identified. You'll arrive at your dealership in the morning with a pretty good idea of what you're in for.

Well an update. None of the modules are communicating so the mechanic is scratching his head now. He has to get a hold of Ford to see if they got any ideas.

Service Engine Light question
Hey all -- I recently picked up a 2014 F250 Lariat CC 6.7L with 8900 miles on it. It is like new in all respects. Very nice truck.
At approx 10K miles, the "service engine soon" light came on. Without visiting a dealer or other ???, I am clueless.
The truck runs well and has no noticeable dysfunction. I am guessing (without any other knowledge) that this may be a 10K mile service reminder. Again, I am not sure. This is my first 6.7L PS and I like it a lot. ...planning on traveling with a 5th wheel soon.
Any suggestions or comments, ....much appreciated.

MY 2011 F350 6.7L had its first CEL at 135,000. It had no symptoms. It turned out to be the DEF heater had gone bad. What I did notice it didn't give the message of cleaning the exhaust filter for a while.
