I got in my truck the other day {2024 F350 with 1000 miles) and when I started it a "Trailer brake module fault" popped up. I press "OK" and it went away but comes up now every time I start it up. The truck runs fine but I also notice now that the blinker lights on the the dash flash really quick like in the old days when a turn bulb was out but the the outside front and rear blinker lights all seem to cycle at normal rate. Any suggestions before I head back to the stealer?

Do you have a trailer hooked up? If you do, do you use the Ford Pass app? There is a trailer light testing program that lets you control the lights from outside the vehicle, testing the brake lights, turn signals, etc. while walking around behind the truck & trailer. It's a pretty cool feature to use before hitting the road. But if there's a module fault, you may need something reprogrammed or replaced. I've personally never seen that warning message. But I have seen a trailer light fault message pop-up. Smart-a$$ trucks...
The issue ended up being the connector going to the trailer brake control module (right behind the emergency brake under the dash). It just needed to be re-seated. That also cured the rapid blinking turn signal.
