I have been having worsening issues on cold startups of my 2020 6.7 F350.
I first noticed about a month ago that occasionally, my memory settings for my seats, pedals and steering wheel would not happen on startup. On cold startups, it seemed to sometimes crank a bit slowly, but not every time.
Then, I have had two or three issues where when I push the button to start, it cranks maybe one turn of the starter and stops before the engine starts. Push it again and it starts apparently normally. Again, occasionally it doesn't seem to crank as fast as usual, but other times it seems normal.
Yesterday, I started it, but got a very brief, weird headlight flash (it was in the dark garage facing out but it was pretty overcast), and the seats did not go to the memory position but it did start normally. Then, maybe 10 seconds later as I was pulling out of the driveway, I got all kinds of warnings about Advanced Track not working, drive modes unavailable, not sure what else as I didn't notice the warnings immediately as I was looking for cross traffic to pull out. It had the anti-skid icon displaying during the 10 minute drive. Upon reaching my destination, I shut down, restarted and everything was normal. When I returned after an hour, all was still normal.
I am thinking my 3 year old Ford batteries are getting weak, but wanted to bounce the issues off of the brain-trust we have here.
Thoughts?
