2023 Braptor Completly Dead

[TaylorfromTexas]

Hey all. I upgraded from a Wildtrak that had some rear wheel issues and eventually had to have the axle replaced so it wouldn’t throw codes and systems not work properly. Now I have a 2023 Bronco Raptor. It’s my daily driver. Drove it on Friday. Did not drive it Saturday went to start it Sunday and the entire car was dead. It threw brake codes and a few other things, anybody had issues like this before? I bought it brand new. Little over 10,000 miles. Pic for tax

Haha noooooo! It started again after one hell of a recharge. Just no idea why it went dead in the first place.

did you take it to the dealer to check the battery?

What @jlee504 said. There was a batch of bad batteries that went out in 23, my wife's Bronco Sport Heratige had one. Tried to start it and it was dead.

Take it up to Ford and have the battery replaced.

Thanks yall! I have a previously scheduled appt for an oil change this Friday so I’ll ask them.

Clearly it is totally worn out. Time to buy a new one. Send me your address and I will help you dispose of it.

Remember to note the error codes for them to look up. Plus tell them your battery might be having issues.

Hi Whitney! I can look into your Bronco's concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

Dead battery 4 times on my 23 Bronco Raptor in the last 8 months, jump started each time. Called local dealership but no clue what could have caused this. Replaced battery and happened again.
Finally caught in the act 2weeks ago of what's going on while camping on White Rim trail, Canyonlands-the parking lamp turned on ~10pm and stayed on. Started the engine/shut off and has not done again.
Perhaps we all have different software issues, frustrating...

Man I feel your pain. My 2023 has had intermittent issue with the front headlight fans staying on for over 14 hours and subsequently draining the battery. Make sure you don’t hear any fan sounds at the front headlights after an hour or so of leaving the vehicle. If so, they need to update the computer behind the instrument cluster.
