Trouble with "SMART" Module?
Had my new FX-4 about 3 weeks and was pulled over for not having any tail lights. When I took it to the nearest dealer, (not the dealer I purchased at, but I have made multiple car purchases from this dealer) they said it had blown the smart module and suspected the dealer installed Ford remote start had caused it. After their installer examined it and found it was wired correctly, his theory was that the smart module had a fault and had spiked, causing the remote start to be reset. The bottom line is no tail-lights or parking lights. Everything else works. Now they say that the part is on "Emergency Warranty Back-Order" and will ship as soon as it is available. That sounds ominous, don't you think? I think it was delivered in this condition, since the first time I used the remote start I noticed the horn sounded but the lights didn't flash like on the F-250 that it replaced. I hardly have hardly driven it at night, and then only on side streets. Anyone else run up against this?

dont know if this has anything to do with the smart modul but the other day i was behind a truck that was waiting to turn left across oncoming traffic, so i got tired of waiting and i went around him on the right shoulder and turned the wheel pretty hard to the right then back to the left. well somehow my trailer sway kicked in and backed my throttle off, "trailer sway slowing speed" or something like that displayed on the dash, but the funny thing is, I HAD NO TRAILER HOOKED UP. thats the only times its done that so far. anyone have any ideas?
