Starter problems
Hello, All. New to the site so I thought I would try to get some expert advice from someone other than Ford.
I have a 2016 F150 Ecoboost with 90,000 miles and push button start. Back in January, I went to start my truck and nothing. Tried remote start, jumping it, everything I could think of. Nothing. Had it towed to dealer and they replaced a circuit breaker and the starter. Last month while on a trip for a funeral, same thing happened. Had it towed to dealer and after 5 days was told the battery box wiring harness shorted out. Once harness replaced; no start. Replaced starter and works good. Two starters in 9 months. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, have you found a resolution?
