So nothing loose underneath dash that I can tell.

Broken brake pedal switch.......................

Any way for me to test without diagnostic connector and software?

Thanks for the info an good thought. We have been thinking that something from the trip may have shaken something loosely connected. Does anyone know what that connector should look like? I will look for anything I can see any way.

I'm sure there is a shop manual with a cartoon picture . I would just get a flashlight, start at the brake pedal and work your way up from there. I know where it was at on my '74 Chevy Nova.

Loose 12v connections? Have they been verified as tight.

Did I verify, no. But mobile tech replaced 12v battery thinking that was the issue so if it was loose originally, I would think the 2nd time around would be tight but I’ll check.

Wiggle everything under there, you never know.
An OBD2 reader or OBD2 dongle with CarScanner app will tell you any codes.

Does the brake light come on when you press the pedal?

Everything wiggled and planned on ordering Veepeak ODB2 but didn’t think I would need day 1. Earliest I can get it is Friday unless someone local has one.

With car off and depress brake pedal, brake lights go on.

That's a good sign and most likely disproves my suggestion.

No prob. Here's the manual mentioning it if you need it. They can use dollies too.

Ryun, is there any procedure to get the vehicle in neutral so they can get it on the flatbed when the shifter doesn’t work? I think the driver gave my wife a separate key. Assuming that need to be inserted somewhere to manually get it in neutral.

Dumb question, but do you have a key in the truck or have you set up the phone as a key?

this is for a 2023. I would assume it would be the same for a 2024?

Vehicle just delivered from dealership so haven’t even added vehicle to FordPass app yet. And I don’t believe Flash supports PAAK. One or both keys were in possession inside of vehicle when trying to start.

Have you tried folding the shifter and then unfolding it?
