  • This video shows the cause and and the fix for no power windows, radio, heat and air conditioning controls not functioning on 2015 and newer F150. Cracked tail light lenses allowing moisture into the BLIS modules and shorting the MSCAN network. The truck we look at in this example had over 51 codes in it including P193E, U0010, U0140, U0164A, U0199, U0100, U0208, U0252, U0256, U0557, B1448, U0146, and many others.

    Thank you!!!! My 2018 F-150 had errors on Bliss, Cross-traffic safety system, tire pressure, front windows didn't work, radio & HVAC would not turn on. Yes, I had a crack in my tail light. Took it of disconnected everything dryed it out with a hair dryer. Sealed the lens with waterproof silicon. Put it all back together and GOOD AS NEW!! You saved me a load of money and probably several trips to the dealer....I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!

    Good video. I just wanted to mention about the same issue but in a different location so that it might help others. I just corrected this issue on my 17 XLT and the cause was the MS CAN wires Grey/Org & Purple/Org twisted pair were broken (from vibration) where they loop in and out of the Grey connector right above the driver's side of the spare tire. This created these exact symptoms and brought me to this video.

    2019 F150 King Ranch 50k miles. Engine rattling a tad a start up and that is I’m told a computer module needing re-coding or replaced. Just now going to lunch my running board was down and it usually retracts. Got in and it started fine with slight rattle but no A/C and no power to roll driver passenger windows down, but I can roll down rear windows. Radio works and no error lights on dash. No Ford appointments for 3 weeks. Going to check my tail lights soon, thanks for video.

Between 2 different shops (one being a ford service dealership) they had my truck for 2 weeks and couldn’t figure it out. I assume they “reset” the battery so everything worked for 1 day. I was just about to look into replacing the front control interface module. Thank you so much for this video!

    Just started happening to my (2015 XLT) with a cracked taillight. Thanks for the info - seems crazy that the design would allow for this to happen. In addition to blind spot not working, interior lights, heater/fan/AC, and windows, my navigation was also throwing an error and my rear camera stopped working (hope it's all related). I live on the west coast of Canada (think Seattle rain) so I'll replace the taillight and see what that fixes.

    I’ve had this problem for quite some time, apparently it’s a common problem with Ford. You would think Ford would issue a notice and give some restitution for this known defect in the manufacturing of the tail lights. I have had no cracks. No breaks in the lens or body yet. Water gets in through the wiring connection. I’ve just disconnected the BLIS system and clean the connections and left them hanging in the tail light. Each BLIS module is around $700 so you need two and New tail lights.

    • @CarShopTalk
      @CarShopTalk  Рік тому

      The BLIS modules really should have been mounted in their own water tight compartment. There’s blis modules behind the bumper on lots of applications with no issues. It was a bad design.

    My 2016 F150 is getting the Blind Spot and Cross Traffic errors on the dash. The driver’s side tail light had moisture and a small puddle of water. I dried everything, blew out with air compressor and added dielectric grease to all connections. Unfortunately I’m still receiving the Blind Spot and Cross Traffic errors. I’m guessing my blind spot module must be bad?
    If I replace the module with a new or used one, do I need to reprogram it? If so can I use the ForScan software?

  • @aVagrantMan
    @aVagrantMan 2 роки тому +1

    2022 update. If your module is getting wet you can simply pull out the tail light. Disconnect the gateway module and unscrew it. And then put the tail light housing back in. You will lose your blind spot detection but everything else will work. That way you have a vehicle that functions until you order a new housing and or gateway unit. I would buy housing first and plug in old unit. Might get lucky and not have to buy new gateway.

The issue is intermittent and seems to happen when the temperature peaks for the day (I'm in Texas so 100 F. or so) And i'm thinking that the water is evaporating due to the heat then condensing onto the connector.

    The same thing happened to me today while driving home and I was about to have a panic attack. I was like great the whole truck is F-d up now and out of extended warranty even on my 2015 F-150 Platinum. Well I looked at the right rear passenger taillight after looking on ford message boards and mine had obvious water intrusion and condensation. Maybe has a small crack but I never hit anything so who knows. The bliss had malfunctioned during heavy rains while driving and in the morning after it rained hard all night. Usually worked again shortly after that and no problems ever when not raining until now. I took out light unplugged light and cleaned connectors and used canned air to spray out. Let it dry in sun and drove it around my neighborhood for about 5 miles with no tail light in and everything magically worked again. The tail light had about 2 cups of water in it after I removed it and dumped out the light. Ordering new tail light and pulled off bliss sensor and put and dried it with a towel as it was kind wet and put it in a bad of rice to try and save it even though it apparently has been wet for several years off and on. So once I get a new tail light I will clean the bliss sensor connector and add some carbon conductive grease to all the connectors and see what happens. Hopefully it was the connectors and not the bliss sensor but we will see in a few days when I get the new light and install it. I am drying out lights and may reattach without bliss sensor until new light comes in so I can drive it still. Great info on the video.

      Not unplugged. If the network wired in it are shorted together, shorted to power or to ground it would. Throw some water in the unplugged connector and all kinds of random things can start happening.

      The tail lights getting water in them and taking down the network is a common cause for this, but a wiring problem or module any where on the network can cause the same problem. Really you need to get a scan tool involved and see which modules will communicate and if in fact the network is down or you have something else going on.

      For the tail light to affect it it would have to take down the network and you’d probably have more things not working. If it’s only the temp settings not working or displaying I would guess it’s an issue with the hvac. If you have access to Forscan or another scan tool capable of talking to the hvac see if it will communicate and if will pull codes from it. If it won’t communicate possibly a blown fuse, bad hvac unit etc.

      I’ve never had anyone ask that or given it any thought. Possibly. If you didn’t reconfigure at least the bcm and possibly the cluster I’m sure you would get side obstacle detection not working messages, but it could probably be configured with Forscan or something similar to get rid of that. On super duty trucks I know it possible since I’ve reconfigured several of those after the boxes were removed and flatbeds were installed. I’m pretty sure it could be configured on an F150 as well.

    I have a 2016 F150 lariat crewcab, the radio, ac controls, front windows and powersteering dont work. After somebody backed into my truck at a parking lot and did a very small amount of damage on my drivers rear taillight, I thought no biggie. I brought it home, put it in my garage and a few days later it wouldn't start, then I had a flatbed send it to the ford dealership and they replaced the battery. The truck runs and drives like new but they said it must have been hit by lightning because the power steering is not working and all the lights are on, on the dash. In addition to all the lights on, on the dash, the ac controls and radio does not respond, although they have power, also the front windows and power steering wont work either. After taking it to the ford store they told me the total bill for making everything perfect would be just under 15k. They did tell me that the power windows have been reset, I did ask them what about the damage on the taillight, thanks to your video, 1:11 but they told me that did not matter. They did tell me that they would recommend replacing both taillights and BLIS modules for both rear taillights but that had nothing to do with the other issues, also they said they would have to put in a new steering rack, ABS module, a sensor in the driver and passange seat, and possibly a air bag module in the center consul somewhere. I know for a fact that is was not hit by lightning because it was kept inside my garage. When I asked about the tail light they told me I could not buy it myself and put it in because it has to be programed, so I paid the just under 1200$ bill and brought it home, am I being scammed??? I would really appreciate any knowledge you can send my way, thanks Titus

      It’s always hard to know without seeing the vehicle, but I’d be shocked if it’s the correct diagnosis. I really doubt half the stuff on the truck failed at once. I’d still wonder about the tail light damage somehow shorting the network or bliss module and causing several of your symptoms. For the others, honestly I wonder if the battery was momentarily hooked up backwards or the system received a large electrical spike when the battery was replaced or the vehicle was jump started. You might try unhooking the battery for an hour and then hook it back up and see if there’s a change. There’s a large power cable going to the rack. Make sure they didn’t loosen it when replacing the battery. Get a second opinion from someone knowledgeable with Ford’s and network diagnosis.
