Indicator lamp warnings
On my 2018 F150 4 Dr P/U 2.7L I'm getting warnings telling me that my Blind Spot detection with cross traffic sensor, the tire pressure warning sensor and the restraint system have failed. When this happens the front windows don't work but the rear windows do. This has happened several times now! I have left it with my dealer for days and theys were never able to get the warnings to appear to find the fault. This has happened after driving for a while. I stop, shut it off and restart and I'm good to go. I just turned over 20k miles and have never had this issue happen previously. I'm concerned for a fire in the wiring!
Has anyone else experienced this?

No one here has reported your problem. I suspect that there is a wiring harness connector somewhere under the truck that isn't fully seated. Does it do this after driving in the rain or going through a car wash? Has the truck been in an accident and repaired?

It happened twice in the rain and once on a sunny day but never in a car wash. Truck has never been in an accident.

Through the "Ford Pass" app, the issues get sent right to my cell phone So when I get to the dealer I can just show them the message. The Writer wasn't interested in reading it. Seems like the only issues they handle well is an oil change! What's the point of the app ???

If you can manage it, the next time this happens, drive directly to the nearest Ford or Lincoln dealer. Do not turn the vehicle off until a tech has read the codes that are stored in the diagnostic system. It's not uncommon for a tech to be "unable to duplicate the problem" if the vehicle has been shut off and the codes cleared. It's always easier to fix something when it is broken.

Thanks for your response! I have an app called Ford Pass on my cell which gets notified each time an issue occurs on my truck so all are still on my phone which doesn't help mechanic. So I've been driving around trying to get the issues to pop up again so I could go right to the dealer. It hasn't happened in a month now. There are 3 connectors under the hood on the driver side. I made sure they were connected tightly. Maybe a loose connector was the problem? Time will tell! Thanks again!
