Custom Drive Modes gone

If you don't use a battery tender, your battery is probably on it's last legs. Based on what you are saying, I bet a new battery solves your problem.

Yeah I’ll swap it out for a new one soon and see what happens.

Did you ever get this figured out? This just happened to me today.

Yes sir, the issue was the battery as soon as I replaced it everything came back to normal including ford app.

Did you have the battery tested or just replaced?

I replaced it myself the battery was free from my ford points I didn’t bother testing it to be honest.

This was after like 2 years since I’ve got the car, I’ve got 2 10” subs, amp, 24/7 dash camera, starlight headliner and interior ambient lighting so with that all added together I just assumed it’s time was up.

My guess is all you needed was a charge from a battery tender. Its well documented these batteries drop below 80% charge and start exhibiting electronics glitches quite easily.

It was showing low low voltages, car wouldn’t even start at some point but yeah maybe ur right I just like the ease of not worrying for a few years

Yes. The battery voltage drops VERY quickly in these cars if they aren't driven much, or only short distances, and or and sit a lot. Not saying thats what happened, I needed a new battery as well, but next time I'd give it a charge and see what happens before replacing.

issue with that is this is my daily approaching 50k miles I drive her about 2 hours daily as my commute to work is an hour each way so she’s driven ALOT

How are you showing the battery voltage like that? Is that an aftermarket app or something? I dont think it have anything like that.

Copy that. Sounds like the same issue I had then. Mine went south after less than 2 years.

It’s hardwired so it can start, turn off, lock and unlock my car along with tell me if someone door dings if my car shakes or vibrates. Not sure exactly how, I think it connects to some sensors in the car
