And if it doesn't, I'd be sure it's an electrical issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now home. Basically start car....no wipers or aftermarket sterio that's getting power from the ACC plug that's located under steering wheel area. Drive along out of nowhere wipers cycle for 3 times and everything turns back on (after wipers cycle) I tried starting just before and no wipers etc. So diconnected battery for 30 seconds and back on and went for drive and alll back to normal....for.now.....so far.... Ford guy told me BCM issue. Auto elec said it sounds very weired but bcm is likely. Another place said nevwr herd it before haha. Maybe did just need a reset? How hard is it to swap BCM in a ba xr6t. Aer there different ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they're referring to the BEM and it's a simple enough job to change it out as it's a separate module/box mounted in the ICC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been fine since battwry dosconnect. But yeah. Turns out I need 2 keys to get it programed if I put another BEM in...I only.have 1 key ffs lol loterally cheaper for me to buy a ignition barrel with 2 keys to match with transponders (80 bucks all up) then it is to buy 1 key from ford for $180... Do you know if I can use forscan to program it all in myself? Ford said about 210 for them to install BEM and program...drive in drive oit if I supplied it. Another auto electric guy said they send them away to be gixed but need key....key reader and bem and will take up to 3 weeks plus....I <3 Bananas haha Although now everything is workig fine 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford wants 160 just to supplie key. I can get a ignition barrel....lock and 2 keys cut ...all genuine for 80 bucks just need codeing. Looking into useig forscan to do it.

Spoke to another ford guy whos now a parts guy at ford. He said sounds like BEM and by me dosconnecting battery and reconecting it has reset itself. So hopefully its all ot needed as it seems fine now. Either way I will look into forscan and an extr key etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a heap of stuffing round and just before I decide to sway the BEM I was checking over car again when it was doing this problem and turns out it was a faulty relay.....alll corroded inside (one cover removed) Fun thing was it was 2 bad relays as when I swapped it from the power window switch one (to fault find) that one aswell was bad. So pulled guess box out and checked all wording and everything seemed ok and been working for a few weeks fine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
