2021 ford bronco no dash lights no start

Congratulations! I’m glad your dealer got you back up and running.

For others experiencing similar problems and reading this thread while troubleshooting, be sure to check fuse #12 (7.5A) in the Body Control Module Fuse Box (under the steering wheel), because it protects the gateway module and climate control system. If that fuse blows, both the gateway module and the climate control system would be inoperable.

Thank god it was a pretty simple part I was told some modules take 3 to 4 weeks to get in and if you’re not under warranty and your gateway module breaks it’ll break the bank it was a 3000 dollar bill thank god for a warranty

One more thing I’d like to post on things I’ve learned during this experience 1. If your battery dies don’t open doors you don’t have to the windows will get stuck outside the window frame not good 2. When you don’t have dash working you have to sit in the car in neutral to winch it on the flat bed if you open the door it goes into park not fun 3. If your battery is dead put a jump pack on or you can’t get it in neutral

For future reference, there is a procedure in the Owner's Manual for manually releasing the Brake Shift Interlock. It's detailed here.

For those who don’t want to dig through the links, it’s covered in the Owners Manual on the following pages…

My Bronco also had a bad Gateway Module. Got it replaced yesterday and picked up this morning.

Crazy I had around the same amount of miles when mine took a crap and it sucks to break down but wow they got you in and out fast
