SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, VERY DANGEROUS 'STOP SAFELY NOW' IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, MANAGED TO PULL THROUGH IT ALL AND NOT DIE. IT WAS COLD AND RAINY OUTSIDE WHILE WE WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK ON A NARROW ROADSIDE. BROUGHT TO NEAR BY FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'THOUGHT' IT MIGHT BE THE DC TO DC CONVERTER BUT WERE NOT SURE ABOUT IT, SO RATHER THAN DROPPING $3 GRAND ON A 'MAYBE' I GOT IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE. WHERE IT NOW SITS AND WON'T START STILL HAS THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. I FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING SMALL, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY CHANGED THE DC TO DC CONVERTER AND ITS USUALLY NOT THE PROBLEM.
