So recently everytime I've taken my raptor to a car wash or it's been rainy, my raptor would majorly malfunction like water is getting somewhere it isn't supposed to, I took it to a dealer less then a week ago to have it solved but when I took it in at the time the lights would already be gone, so the dealer claimed it was a "wheel speed sensor" but wouldn't say how or why it was broken they just replaced it and now a couple days later the exact same issue is occurring, is anyone else having this problem? I got video of all the pop ups, it literally lights up like a christmas tree.

Good morning! We’d like to take a closer look at your Ranger’s warning message concerns. To get things started, can you please send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of the Ford dealer you have been working with?

Always after a car wash?
You are getting water in the taillight (BLISS module) assembly or a connector that's not seated correctly.

It doesn't rain much in my area but the last time it did I got something similar happen to me. Every time I came to a stop the dash would light up warning me that the parking sensors were blocked. Once it stopped raining the problem went away.

Did you ever take it to get looked at?

Not yet. We haven't had any rain since then to see if the problem repeats itself. I wash the truck at home so I haven't had the car wash experience like you. As I had not seen anything on the forum until your post I thought mine was an isolated case.

On the 5G Rangers, there was a connector in the driver/front wheel well that was either getting damaged, or slightly disconnected. This resulted in a very similar display of lights. A few people posted with the issue. Might be the same issue on your truck. Might also be why they diagnosed speed sensor when it may actually be a wire or connector issue farther upstream.
