Odd electrical nuances 2017 Platinum

Having some odd things hapoening with my 2017 F250 Platinum. I have a list of them but ill start with this one. When i press the button to start the truck, usually i get that "doo-la-doo" sound. Lately, ive been getting and odd tone that sounds like speaker is broken. It is nothing like the normal tones. I havent noticed anything different on the displays.

There has been so many weird noises nuances with this truck. Aside from that, i get a sound that make me think there fluid pumping thru the steering wheel when i turn it.

Anyone have issues with the back-up sensors after some rain? I do. Each and every time it rain, i put the truck in reverse and the passenger side sensor goes crazy like im about to hit something, yet nothing is behind me. I often times get an alert that "crash detection" isnt available. Not sure what thats all about. Could that also have something to do with my adaptive cruise control not working? I get an alert for that too when i try using it.

The list goes on..... If.you have any experience or any ideas/suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it. Many thanks in advance!!

It seems that the plug above the spare tire caused quite a few electrical gremlins on the '17. They unplugged it, cleaned it and applied dielectric grease to it. Seemed to work for many.

Thank you. I will definitely look at that. The local Ford service center/dealership said it was a known issue and Ford didnt have a fix and wasnt concerned with it.

Thanks again for the reply. Ill look into your suggestion as soon as i can and let you know how it turns out.

My 17 does this at hard lock, I ignore it as I don't think it's anything to be concerned about with the pump.

Do you have adaptive steering? I've thought of that noise as the system telling me I've, "Gone too far."
