WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 looks like some electricals got soaked, and needed time to dry off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWizard Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 If it should happen again, try pressing and holding the start/stop button for about 10 seconds to turn it off. That's a built-in override primarily designed to allow shutting off the engine while the vehicle is moving but should work when parked as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLinNBC Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Interesting. Our 2016 Sport did exactly the same thing a week after I bought it, no washing. Simply pulled into the driveway, hit the button and everything shut down... except the engine. Don't recall about the red wrench. I held the button and it shut off. Upon restart all settings were defaulted and the phone link gone. Never did it again so I never posted about it (joined the list months after). I actually wondered if I was losing it, if it really happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWizard Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I haven't seen a Ford rep on this or any other Ford related (Mustang, F150) forum in quite some time. It's a shame because they were helpful resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 They were still on facebook and twitter after they stopped posting here but I don't know if they're still there. Yes they were a great resource. I think that stopped around the time Fields took over so that probably explains it. Cost cutting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
