My 2017 F-150 doesn't even have a lead frame!

The first Ford service department held the truck for weeks, couldn't get the lead frame part, gave me the runaround. Turns out they misdiagnosed the issue, and were trying to order a part that wasn't even the problem, and as I understand it, doesn't exist in the 2017. I didn't know this at the time, but got tired of waiting and all of the BS from their service representative and manager gave me.

So I took the truck across town to the other local Ford service/dealer, and they correctly identified the issue, ordered the part, and got it fixed in just a week. (I can't actually recall what part they replaced, but it wasn't the lead frame.)

So if anyone has issues similar to what is described in this thread, and they are quoting an unusually long wait to get the part/service, make sure you get a second (mechanic's) opinion.
