If they have that kind of problem they should contact their ford support at engineering level to see/find cause.

They got an error code they had never heard of before. Call the main Ford company. They say the code is not in the system. Do not get me wrong they are working on it own there time. Not charging me for it because of the code. I was just wondering if anybody had every heard of it before. Do not know what to do if I cannot get it fixed I cannot afford another one.

I do know that it says things like problems with rear defrosters and rear window wipers. My truck has neither.

I doubt very much that there is no fix! More to the point that they don't care enough to look into it to see what is going on, Ford technical department is there to help dealers sort through these problems, I think a call to ford customer support with a complaint may get some action.

I got ahold of the main ford office they said my truck was to old and I would have to keep working the dealer. The main office say to keep the receipts incase there's a recall I could be reimbursed for it As I told you before they said they could not fix it for me to come and get. Great another tow bill.

Electronics are really screwy on a car so take to a garage not dealer and have them check grounds see if all are connected an clean it may not fix it but check anyhow it won't be 600 dollars. Or if you can check the three that I have pointed out in arrows make sure they are clean and not corroded. See pic
