Software Update Preferences not working?

[Big Dog Daddy]

Anyone who’s stuck on 1.7 have the odd issue with the welcome lighting not turning on and no interior lights. Also the bell noise doesn’t come from the speakers and sounds like it’s some weird binging sound under the dash. Also the radio preset will flash sometimes when this happens. I’d say it happens maybe once a week. I think it’s all related I’m sure. Can’t wait for this fix coming this month.


I have also noticed this only when this happens. For example when the walk up lighting doesn’t work and the interior lights don’t light up.

when the above is happening the passenger side door handle won’t unlock or lock the door. Very strange. From the outside the smart key handle etc.

After say I go to the store and run one key cycle it’s fine when I walk up to it next time.

Like I said this all started since 1.7 has become stuck.

Same thing here! Intermittently fordpass responds, "vehicle is in deep sleep mode", so no remote start at 10 degrees! Sometimes no approach lighting with interior lights, other times approach lights come and no interior lighting, or Sometimes neither. Also now I'm getting Intermittently "reverse brake assist not available " . At this point I would prefer to have it as it was prior to the attempted updates. At least everything worked. This seems to be going downhill fast, and I fear the update will come with its own new set of problems.

Ya it seems it’s getting worse not better haha.
Well let’s hope this fox comes soon.
Mine was doing the deep sleep but only a couple times a month ago when it was -30c and it sat for 3 days. But like yours it started fine.

100%. Bought in May, only 3,800 miles as it’s not my daily driver as I have a work vehicle. But all the issues including the sagging underbody recall started after the new year. The back up pro has never worked for me but it might be user error. First Ford since 1995, outside of these nuances the truck is all I could ask for as far as look, comfort and fun.. GM had no issues making things right, and they had to fix a lot, I expect nothing less from FORD.

Same thing here. All of a sudden. Least we know it’s not just us. I actually reset my setting to delete ford pass from the touchscreen then deleted Ford pass app, re downloaded on my phone and reactivated it to my truck. Going on about 4 hours.

Ford has made a big mess with this ota crap, I've driven Ford trucks since I was 17 years old, and every other aspect of this truck is great. But as far as technology goes they suck, this all started in December. Ford should have made this a number 1 priority to get this up and working again instead they rolled this out and have left us all stuck for 2 months now. Any other technology company would immediately roll out an updated patch within days! I'm becoming extremely frustrated with this and ford's inept technical support. They treat you like a simpleton and have zero knowledge about what seems to be a common problem.

Ya it’s strange how it’s all of a sudden.
You guys check your passenger door if you have the smart key when this is going on see if it locks or unlocks. In the end it doesn’t really matter but it seems all connected. Either way at least we are not alone.
And to me at least it’s minor still love the truck as I know this will get fixed here soon.

I'll check mine tomorrow, to understand the problem correctly the door doesn't unlock at the same moment as the approach lights fail?

Anyone else have their proximity sensors just beeping continously as if they are close to something when they aren't? I have that, not always but sometimes, and not always the same sensors. I thought maybe it was dirt on the sensors from Canadian winter but as I have not washed my truck I can't confirm that to be true

I've had this on occasion, sometimes the display will say "sensor blocked" other times nothing. So every time I've resolved it by wiping them off with a damp cloth. Salt spray, dirt and ice and freezing rain all seem to block them.

Ya when the proximity lights fail then all the issues pop up at the same time. As well as the passenger door.
If the proximity lights work and nothing is glitched out. Then the door works fine. Just strange.

Hi there, Cale! Go ahead and send us a private message with your VIN and name & location of dealership, I’ll look into this for you. Thank you!

Is there any way to get these updates via USB or phone? I am in Germany, so no AT&T network. I have to street park and even if I pull close to the house, there is no wifi signal. Nearest dealer is 30+ miles away and is a pain to schedule anything. I have the Forscan cable if that can be used. Thanks.

It happened this morning, no approach lights, passenger door would not open, no interior lights.
Also used the fob for remote start, which should report blinking green then solid green LED, But on the start this morning blinking red, then solid red, yet the truck still started.

Well at least we are not alone ! In this haha!
Mine was fine this am actually but it’s so random. The stuck update must be messing with everything.

Guys please figured this out for us. Annoying as heck for such beautiful trucks

I see Ford offered to look into your situation. Please, if you can let me know how that goes, and if they are able to offer you any assistance.
