My Car Would Not Start. Please Help

[RyanB3239]

Hi everyone,




Yesterday I wanted to take my car for a ride, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t start. My car has been sitting in the garage for 9 days I have a NORCO battery charger - maintainer - conditioner for AGM batteries set up since day one because I don’t daily drive my vehicle. I only use it on weekends for pleasure.





Today, when I tried starting it, I got a bunch of error codes and sensor faults. I’ve attached a videos for reference. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any advice, I’d really appreciate your input.





It’s very frustrating, and I’d like to avoid towing the car to the nearest dealership if possible. I know it’s under warranty, but I’d prefer to get it running myself if there’s an easy fix. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Charge or change your battery.

disconnect the battery and wait for 10ish minutes for the system to clear all faults, then reconnect and try again

That happened to me once when it was pretty new. I called my wife for her to get the truck and bring jumper cables. While waiting I found a public bathroom nearby. It took about fifteen minutes for her to arrive. I figured I'd try to start her up again and she fired up. I can't remember what the dash showed but it might have been parking sensors ? I've never had the problem again ...

Yeah, I’ll bet it’s the battery, especially given your use case. I’d ensure you have a fully charged battery and disconnect/reconnect.

Did FordPass give any alerts prior? did you get a ‘remote features disabled’ or ‘deep sleep’ alert?

If you have her on a charger it’s curious for sure. Either that charger is mucking up the battery management system or it’s not keeping up with the draw.

Any aftermarket equipment?
Any previous issues with the car?

No I did not got any notification On my App .. Yes so random. But this morning After 8 Hours of charge time ON my Norco 1amp Wall Charger It fires up. but my Voltage Says (13.5) while driving? is this Normal? Let see If this will start again later I will unhook my charger all day today and try to start it tonight and will see what happens.

yeah thats a battery issue then, not sure how new your car is but it could just be low charge due to parasitic draw from how long these things can sit before getting to you.

I reach out to ford dealer were I bought my car locally and they wanted to check my car out.. I curious what will they find.

 

[RyanB3239]

OK, it’s been roughly 30 minutes after I turn off my car and I re-checked my battery condition and this is what I got 12.67 Volts Is this a normal voltage? when not running.. I'll check it again later and see if I have a voltage dropped.

Make sure you have your trickle charger in the right mode for the type of battery you are re-charging/maintaining

Yes I have it set on (AGM)

Yes Sir It’s On AGM mode..

It appears you have the battery maintainer connected directly to the battery which is bypassing the battery management system. If so, I suggest relocating to this location (green arrow).
