I traded it in and purchased a 2018 6.2 two weeks ago -from a different dealer than the one working on my truck. The dealer that was working on it requested they keep it for another couple weeks and they were hoping that Ford would approve replacing the ABS module. It was a total pain in the ***.

Sometimes its covered, sometime it isn't, when on the face of things, the failures are similar.

I even offered to put stock tires back on truck. They have to warranty these problems.

Sorry the picture is sideways but I believe this white connector is the one the OP had issues with
This is the label on the 2 connectors on the passenger side
Just another picture to show the relative location
I am assuming this is the connector we are talking about. Correct? If moisture is an issue for any of these 4 connections (2 on each side) then I want to find a way to protect them. They are already wet.

Based on what I'm reading, loading the connector up with dielectric grease is the DIY method to "fix" the problem. It seems to me that rotating the white connector 90 degrees counterclockwise might help also.

Dielectric grease should do. Don't overdo it. Theoretically, water shouldn't hurt much, but it sure can make the ECM act wonky.
There's an aviation version in a spray can that's hardcore and works every time, and dries up. But it's $80 a spray can.

I saw a weird message last week on the DIC. I don't remember what it said. I ended up re-starting the truck and it was gone. After reading this thread this morning I crawled under there and found pieces of grass all around those two connectors. Last week I bought some sod for my house and had to wash the bed out afterward. The water/sod drained straight into those connectors it turned out. I have to figure out a way to waterproof these or I'm going to have problems to.
