Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Dashboard warning lights and 'system failure' messages appear together for ABS, traction control, and forward/rear collision sensors, sometimes stranding the truck.
  • Backup camera fails to engage when the truck is put in reverse, even though the camera still shows up in the settings menu.
  • Interior dome and rear lights fail to turn on automatically when doors open, requiring owners to wiggle the switch to get them working.
  • Infotainment touchscreen and radio produce loud static or shut off and freeze, especially when volume is raised or a phone is plugged in to charge.
  • Forward driving aid and forward/reverse emergency brake assist systems falsely report blocked sensors or stop working, disabling traction control.
  • Daytime running lamps fail without triggering a dashboard warning light, at a reported 40,000 miles for one owner.
