F0CUE Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Mines done that and found it was the original factory battery still installed and garage said it needed replaced. I would check you battery and see if it says ford on it and get it tested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
