Depending on where you got the update, you may need to download it again and try on a new USB drive. You need to unzip the files to your hard drive and copy them to the USB, don't unzip them directly to the USB.

Try using a different computer to download. Sounds like your browser or computer is corrupting the downloaded file.

Go here and start reading! https://www.fordescape.org/forum/ele...es-etc-61.html
UofMEngineer is a Ford software engineer and knows his stuff. I tried for weeks on end to get mine to update using every trick I read about, USB, WiFi, you name it with no luck. Gave him my autoinstall.lst then followed his instructions and the update worked like a charm.

Thumbs down Sync 3 in my 2018 has failed again after warranty repair on extended warranty

The dealer told me today FORD is not warranty of sync 3 and replace is only a temporary fix. It will happen again and again. I will not buy another FORD VEHICLE because of the SYNC issues and Ford not supporting these defective systems.

you dug up an almost 5 year old post......sync 3 is covered under the warranty and ESP if you bought the correct one

The unit was replaced under warranty once and after 20000 miles the unit is failing again I have 102000 miles now and my original extended warranty stopped at 100000 miles, the warranty cost over $2000.00. Now the dealer wants another $1500 to replace failing unit, again Ford has a known problem and won’t cover unit even though replaced about a year ago. Why would I have it replaced as FORD has faulty equipment and not supporting. DO NOT BUY A FORD with Sync system they do not support other than replacing with the same faulty equipment
