Dashboard lights like a Christmas tree

[Whiskey Bizness]

I know this isn't an apples-to-apples thing, but this happened to me on my 2018 4Runner (dashboard warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree all of a sudden) and it ended up being a loose battery ground.

That would be fine if it was slippery from rain or snow but it was a sunny day. And this was in the parking lot after I started my truck and put it into reverse, it stayed on for 5 min while I was driving home and then went off. Better be safe then sorry especially when I have to take my mom back and forth to doctor appointments and therapy.

I’m sorry, I got mixed up - I was looking at the post from @23BDBigSean

Yours is either a WSS or low battery I still think.

I admit I keep forgetting this - I’ve not tried it myself but seems a good tradeoff - get 4WD back but lose GOAT modes

I circled and labeled that fuse on the StickerFab stick-on fuse list, and have it down on a "code-clearing" and "Try this if the the SHTF" list I'll print one day and put in the glovebox (into my paper manual) .

**UPDATE**
I heard from my Dealer this morning they had to order an AXLE ASSEMBLY REAR (MB3W-4001-ACL) ordered it as an emergency part and said it would take 3-7 days to get it in. So now the waiting game. At least they gave me a loaner.

Next time the Christmas Tree question comes up, then I guess the right answer will be: "Could be anything from a low battery, to you may need a whole new axle assembly". Great.

It was a little scary today. I took my mother to physical therapy today and when she was done I started the Bronco and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. The ABS light and traction control lights were on. The dash showed that there were no GOAT modes driveable and there was no pre-collision assist avaliable. drove slowly to get home thankfully I didn't have far to go. when I pulled into the driveway the lights had gone off. I got my mom in the house at started the Bronco again and there were no lights or warnings and the GOAT modes were back. I made an appointment for Monday morning with the dealer, but does anyone have an idea what could have caused it?

On a side note the Automatic updates will not connect and I can;t access the updates through the Ford Pass either, so that will be looked at also.

The Bronco is a 2024 OBX non Sasquatch, 934 miles I purchased this May.

It was probably just the WSS but figured this was an easy way to parts cannon the thing and get someone else to pay for it
