GRRRRR 2013 Explorer Sport Died. It's dead Jim!

[kookoo4nsx]

I hit the start button and the car literally freaks out.
Won't start or crank. Nothing works. Every warning light such as lift open,
Collision not active, check engine light, rain sensor malfunction,
Collision warning not active comes on, AWD failure...
Weird motor hum from front of car.
Doors won't lock, unlock, no window or rear lift power.

Speedo flashes and blinks, interior lights flash.

Did my truck catch a virus or fry a computer???
I'm mad as hell because it left me stranded and is only 2 years old. Googled
and can't seem to find anything.

What's the current battery voltage?

Check the battery connection.

Same exact comment, low voltage issues and/or poor contact at the battery will cause this type of behavior.

Sounds like you have a bad battery. My 2014 did alot of the same things and it was the battery. Dealer replace battery under warranty.

What's the current battery voltage?

Totally agree.

Each control unit has a voltage threshold that if not achieved it won't turn on. Sometimes it is around 9-10 volts.

That is why you see so many errors because each of this control units are not showing any activity/communication on the CAN lines because they are "dead" because of low power.

A battery meter would have aided in diagnosis of this. Totally wish they had those voltage gauges like they did in the older cars.

I am waiting for an update from the OP. Plenty of responses but no outcome yet?

Truck is being towed to the dealer. I'll let them diagnose it.
I'm pretty sure the battery fried itself. No loose wires or
corrosion. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks for all the replies.
Any recent recalls to take care of while its there?

Hi kookoo4nsx,

I want to look into this further. What's your current mileage?
