Electrical Issue

I am having some trouble with my 2017 F250.
it started with a tire pressure fault. Dealer claims there are 3 bad TPS but it only shows one with no pressure on the screen. Rear drivers side.
the tires were rotated but location of 0 tire pressure didn’t change.

the tech reset and retrained but it didn’t work.

now I have no phone connectivity and the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel don’t work.

where should I start to fix this?

have you checked the connectors back by the spare under the truck?
many have had water and corrosion in them,,, causing strange electrical issues
clean them out and fill them with dielectric grease

If you have warranty get the dealer to investigate, do that first so it is on record. Once they fix it, go back and clean out the connectors with compressed air and lube with dielectric grease for sure.

My brother and I were talking about that this morning. I will do that. I don’t have warranty. I put 73k on the truck. This is the first trouble I’ve had with it.

Find a different dealership! I did this for my previous situation last month, ..........nice to know there are some mechanics still out there.

I don’t have much of a solution, but 3 days ago my phone wouldn’t connect either, usb, Bluetooth or WiFi, would not connect. I didn’t worry too much about it, and the next day it worked fine, but that next day I got all the advance track, hill assist hill descent not working lights popping up, i Parked the truck went to work then drove home and again it fixed itself, but I decided to drop the spare and dielectric grease the 4 connections back by the trailer hitch mounts on the frame, although they did look quite clean and no corrosion, but the two connections on the driver side both had broken tabs, so i electrical taped them keep them from coming unplugged, also kind of suggests that someone had been in there. Also, I put a couple hundred miles on it yesterday with zero issues so far. I don’t recall having any Tpms issues though.
