2023 Lariat "gremlins". Random
Hello, I have a 2023 F150 Lariat with 12,000miles on it and just started to experience some random gremlins this weekend. I plan on contacting my dealership Monday AM but wanted to run these by to see if anyone has seen this.
1. heated and cooled seat functions are inoperative. The light in the buttons work, but the sys doesn't function.
2. Seat memory setting preset does not function. no lights or commanded seat movements to pre set positions
3. No volume. when volume **** or steering wheel control is moved, volume never goes above 0. I did an AMP fuse reset and this went away.
4. Clock settings keep returning to 12 hour format. Happened several times after i change it to 24 hour format
5. Initial start up chimes changed loud tones and chimed 6 times. (not normal)
6. Vehicle front impact tone changed to a different sounding tone. Not that I'm trying to impact stuff, but when I pull in my garage, the fwd impact chimes and proximity sensors go off (normal) due to closeness of garage wall and storage.
no fault codes are present but I am thinking something is going bad. and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I plan on calling the dealer tomorrow and will hopefully get on the appt schedule soon.

First thing I recommend anyone does when they start experiencing "gremlins" is check both fuse panels (under hood and behind front passenger side kick panel) and make sure all of your fuses and relays are fully seated. The second thing I would recommend is to have your 12V battery tested under load by an auto parts store or non-Ford affiliated repair shop. Good luck!

follow up...
A little follow up here....I called the dealer and was able to get an appointment next Monday. So I went into troubleshoot on the internet mode. I checked all the fuse connections. I was in the process of removing the SCME controller from truck (2023 Lariat this lives under the driver seat) I felt a loose connection in the back of the SCME. I popped the loose connection back and felt the seat move like it was moving back to its preset. Started my truck and noted the presets now work as well as the seat heating and cooling. After several cycles it seems everything is back to working condition. Loose connection. Cancelled my appointment and hopefully this it the end of my electrical weirdness. Doesn't explain the amp reset reason or the clock reverting to 12 hr format but I'm good with baby steps here. Hope this helps anyone who sees this in the future. Thank you for replies on this issue, I really appreciate it!
