Default Electrical Demons

I posted the other day about my radio,climate control, and keyless not working in my 2012 F150. I haven't got a chance to take it in to a service center yet. However, the longer I drive the more stuff that happens. This weekend the TPMS fault came up. Also, hot air started coming in through the vents. Now yesterday and today, nothing happens when I turn the key in the ignition. I get another fault displayed on the crew chief screen. Any other ideas before I take it in? Does it sound like a computer? I should mention I replaced the battery and had the alternator tested it was fine. I attached a video from before the ignition fault started.
Thanks

Did you check behind the dash to make sure a mouse isnt chewing through one of your wire looms or something?

All those things you just described are sort of close proximity to eachother i think, ignition wires, tpms wires, climate control wires, etc.

You may want to have your battery tested.

Second the battery. Every and I mean every Ford I had and even some other brands I had when the battery starts failing weird electrical things happen. Replace battery and all good!

Default All fixed

thanks guys, the battery was replaced last week that wasn't the issue. However, as I was waiting on a tow truck today I started checking all the wiring harnesses, and of course there it was, the bcm had come unplugged. Plugged it back up and we are all good. My wife kicked the truck as I did that and thinks she fixed it so I'll just let her believe that.
