- 2014 Ford PIU
My 2014 PIU developed a weird problem on a long road trip this weekend. I pulled into a gas station and could not shut the vehicle off. I turned the key off and removed it with everything still energized and the engine running, except the auto headlights (which I personally installed and added via Forscan), which turned off when I locked the door via the factory remote.
When I got home I was still unable to shut the vehicle off, so I had to unplug the positive battery terminal to get the damn thing to shut off. I plugged it back in, and it still does this same thing. I discovered that even without turning the key to Start, once I get it to Run, everything stays energized.
I've seen some folks say the lock cylinder could be bad. Okay. How do I get to it to test? I don't know how to access that part of the dash. Is it through the radio panel area? Do I have to remove the IPC?
I've also really other models of Fords in this model year develop this issue and there is a recall out for them (I think the C-Max and F-150 have a recall for this).
Just for ***** and giggles, does anyone have access to the Ford site where you can download the ABD information for a vehicle and can send me a printout of the ABD for the BCM to cross-check via Forscan? I didn't save a copy of the ABD because, honestly, I couldn't find how to save raw ABD files as backups. Some parts of that software were not intuitive to me. If some code got corrupted, and I can change it back and everything is fixed, that would save me a lot of time and money.
