Massive power fail

airframer84 · 06-20-2020, 10:02 AM

A/C is off and on, TPM is out and now seat restraint warning come and go. Back up camera took a dump. I tried reading codes but got a lot. I’m recharging my battery now. Any advice?

charge up your battery and pray

Depending on the age of the battery, over 5 years go ahead and replace.

Is this thread from 6/17/2020 the same issue? If yes, you should try to keep the same issue in the same thread: https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1731301

Possible causes when multiple unrelated systems fail at once and what I would recommend checking in following order: weak battery, damaged ground straps, damaged wiring harness, water pooling up and shorting something, damaged computer/control unit.

Pick up a cigarette lighter USB adapter with a built in voltmeter (Amazon has a ton). Will help you diagnose erratic electrical gremlins.

I hope so, not sure how all those things could fail individually!!

Charged the battery to 100% and it got worse, fired it up and the parking sensor fail came on.

hold down your mute button for 30-40 sec.
It should reset your head-unit...
maybe it will help

Seriously??? Alright I’ll try that when I get back in my car, have to brace myself, it’s hot in New Orleans without A/C.

Tried with no progress, looks like I’m calling the dealer.

airframer84 · 06-26-2020, 01:22 PM

So at the dealer now, turns out I’m still under warranty, even tho I thot it expired in March? Oh well, they said it was the battery, installed it and said it isn’t completely fixed. Prolly leaving with a loaner....
