Odd towing Message?
I get this really random message on my 2011 xtr. It will randomly at startup say trailer not connected and ask for an ok to clear. A couple times it has said trailer connected and asked for an ok to clear. This never happens when I'm towing or even close to a time that I have been towing. Just random. The dealer has no clue. Anyone know anything about this?

I have the same thing happen with mine (2011 fx4 eco) a few times. I thought I was accidentally hitting the tow button on the shifter but this makes me wonder

Have had this happen while driving in the rain on my 09. It pops up a message saying trailer wiring fault or something to that effect. I've just lived with it since we don't seem to get much rain lately

I get the trailer wiring fault (whatever it is) in my message center in my 09 ford. I have looked at the plug in the back of the connector and di-electric greased it, but no luck.
XtraLargeTall- What do you mean it may have to due with the flap itself? I would really like to fix this message from popping up?
