I searched, and found one thread which talked about the soft re-boot and also battery dis-connect.
I did both numerous time to no avail.
I also checked with NHTSA, and there are no recalls for my VIN.
Here is what I have now:

First time seeing it:

After soft reboot:

After battery disconnect for 10 minutes:

Going to the dealer...!

Did this start randomly or after an update? Do you have FORScan or any code scanner to pull the codes?

Don't know... I don't know how to check when an update occured.
I don't have Forscan.
I have a Maddox OBD2 code reader... but that only reads DTC's.

If the truck is connected to the Ford app, message me the VIN. I can pull the codes it is reporting to the cloud and check your OTA dashboard.

Thanks, I would take you up on this if I didn't have an appointment tomorrow and a loaner car already waiting.
Thanks again for the offer my friend!

The dealership just called... the Tech was in communication with Ford, and they said the entire unit needs to be replaced.
This means the entire dash comes out.
Currently the Raptor has ZERO interior rattles... let's hope for the best after re-installation.
Not really happy about this!

The same dealership removed my entire dash out of my GT350 three times due to A/C issues, and there are no rattles, even today. It is not the same Tech, but it is the same Dealership.
Fingers crossed!

The dealership was nice to me since I have bought my last 6 Fords from them and gave me a loaner.
When I called, they said they had an F-150 loaner vehicle.
When I got there, the F-150 was gone.
They gave me a Bronco Sport... and an UGLY one at that!

I drove home from the dealership and switched to my REAL Bronco and went back to work.

Not a fan of the Brono Sport. It does save me from having to have the wife drive me to the dealership

There is no rain in the forecast tomorrow, so I am taking the car to work tomorrow

I agree that spec is pretty darn ugly. It's also the 1.5L version which I don't like at all. My girl's with the 2.0L and a Livernois tune making about 300hp is a good time, though. This thing making turbo noises turns some heads from nothing other than pure confusion. I just wish it had Sync 4 from factory.
