Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the software on the F150 at home (Not the SYNC software)? I have a 2016 3.5EB and I have been having weird issues since I bought it brand new. I chalked up the minor nuances to character of the truck and didnt think much of it because those things were really not too important to me, however, recently I have run into some issues that affect the use of my truck.
#1) my 7 pin connector doesnt always charge my trailer battery. Doing some research it seems like 90% of the posts online were resolved with a software update (Im going to install a new 7 pin connector to see if its just that simple)
#2) my transmission shifting is weird when towing at times, I had my fluids serviced per the manual/dealership so all good there, it drives fine, just doesnt want to shift up or down sometimes in the mtns...and I do let off the gas and all that. My most recent trip it literally wouldnt go faster than 30mph and I was flooring it to see if it would change...like the computer wasnt registering the pedal press
#3) windows randomly go down when I am trying to put them up (as if the auto down button was triggered)
#4) Sync radio/display sometimes freezes up and is unresponsive, sometimes completely black
#5) One time...my fuel was showing E after a fill up, shutting off the truck and turning it back on fixed the issue
#1 & #2 are the ones that affect my use and are relatively new...but they also have not been fully used till recently so this may have always been an underlying issue.
the rest have been going on since I bought it with 4 miles on the ODO.
Any ideas?
