I have a partial video, but it happens so fast & randomly it makes it hard to catch it.

Of course this says it is too large to attach. It's only 34 seconds long.

My Bronco has 1,200 miles and is doing a similar thing. The dash error messages are the same as the OP. Something in the engine compartment was clicking, too, even before trying to start. It began when I opened the passenger door.

After trying to start several times and then giving up, it started going bonkers under the hood. Clicking loudly. Couldn’t determine where, exactly. Disconnected the negative battery terminal to shut the damn thing up.


WTF.

what the hell is that! Sounded like it was running with a rod knock for a bit. That is one seriously not happy Bronco.

It also has the grinding transmission. And the roof had to be replaced due to cracks. This thing is a POS.

Hi John! I can look into your Bronco's error message 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?
