Nice. I tried to get my window rattle fixed and they said "could not replicate" so yet another trip is in order.

Pretty soon they just need to start giving out new doors and bolt them on in 5 minutes

Roll your window down then go under door their will be two plastic pieces take them off and you will see a screw in each one , push to out position and tighten up this will fix window rattle.

Done it. No rattle from window but when I shut my door it sounds like something is loose and going to shatter or break. Had new window motor put in at dealership they said that was the issue but obviously was not so going back 11/7

SSM 51166 2021-2022 Bronco - Headlamps Turn On By Themselves When Vehicle Is Off - DTC B1533

Some 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a condition of intermittent headlamp operation while the vehicle is OFF and have diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1533 stored in the body control module (BCM). This may be due to the internal logic within the headlamp switch. To correct this condition, replace the headlamp switch (service base PN: 11654). Refer Workshop Manual, Section 417-01.

This headlamp switch was supposedly going to be available in October (Message SSM 50842) but I haven't heard SH&T from my dealer. This is a huge problem for me-twice a week I have to go outside late at night to turn them off manually. That and the MIC rattle, the window rattle has tamped down the otherwise joy I am having with the vehicle. That is just plain poor craftsmanship.

I ordered the switch and replaced it myself, Star Ford of Glendale did not even care that I gave them the SSM that contained the symptoms and the resolution including the part number. they re flashed the module, 120 minutes after I came home like clockwork the headlights were on. I swapped the switch a few days later (after receiving it) and no issues for a week so far. So in my case I can confirm the switch is the fix!

So, some dealers have the actual parts and others, like mine, don't, nor do they even know what to do about it. Great. Thanks for the info-I might start calling around.

Had the switch replaced and zero issues since, 2 weeks in.

I get that....but when I get a new vehicle I download / pdf / print the factory workshop manual (most have paid access for 72 hours, a month etc) so I can do my own work / repair if it's not something major I want documented at the dealer.

Where did you get yours? I would love to have a workshop manual for my 2.3 7MT Sas.

Just received a paper copy of the Software Update recall to fix the reverse camera in 4L - but, when I go into System Updates is claims the July 2022 update was the latest…am I missing something?

Thanks so much for the TSB. I have been so bz lately I have not spent much time on 6g. I dropped off the car today to have them look at the rattling on both sides.... They called to tell me that it was normal. I plan on showing them the TSB and "how to". I did not just waste an entire day with the car in the shop for nothing.

What is a "SSM?"
