There has to be something going on that they're not telling you about. There's no excuse for this. Five weeks and counting for a sensor that they should have had in stock? WOW, I feel your pain!

Jan 26, 2017 - Evening further update. My husband called Ford Canada this afternoon about this long delay and lack of communication from the dealership. Ford corporate had the dealership call him and they now say the Wiring Harness has to be made and that's the reason for the delay. The original diagnosis was "coolant sensor and some wiring". So again, they said it will take a week to a week-and-a-half to get it. Makes us feel sick we ever bought a Ford pickup and we are going to tell everybody we know this story.

Why are you sick that you bought a Ford? Ford has nothing to do with it. You had rat chew stuff up, not fords fault. You got a crappy dealer that's not being straight with you, not fords fault. If none of this would have happened would you still be happy with the truck? If you would then you need to tell people about the crappy dealer not bad truck.

CROWNMAN - It was not our truck that had the rat problem, LOL. That was posted by someone called SansBallyhoo,not me. Our truck had no rodents whatsoever cause the problem. If Ford is taking over 5 weeks to supply a part, then for sure I can blame Ford.

This is a non-update. This Friday, Feb 10 it will be 7 weeks since our pickup was towed to the dealership. It's been sitting in the same spot on the dealer's lot since then. The new wiring harness has still not been delivered and my husband continues to drive the rental truck. This is just crazy.

Our problem which occurred last winter was something to do with part of the wiring called a pigtail. Another poster in this thread mentioned it was caused by rodents however that was certainly not what happened in our case. It just simply failed as things sometimes too. Our beef was with the length of time it took Ford to get the replacement part. It was almost 2 months before we got the truck back. I hope your problem is resolved much quicker.
Good Luck.

Still at the dealer. Mice or somethng ate the harness under the manifold. Didnt believe it until I saw it. Thank you to Ford for using wiring/harness that rodents think is food (plant based content they love).

They should pay the damn bill. Its a big one.

Thankfully since my husband's truck was fixed in Feb 2017, the problem has not reoccurred. Ours was not a rodent problem like some others so warranty covered the repair. Good luck to all with this problem.
