They didn't say if they tried my electrical tape idea...:cry:

I'm just kidding I know it's got to be frustrating as hell to wait this long and then have issues.
I pray your able to get it straightened out quickly. Hang in there and don't forget, us smart A$$ are here for you :)

When my Sierra was new, if it sat for more than 3 days it wouldnt start. Turned out to be a intermittent short in the factory amp. With electronics, one thing is guaranteed-- if it was built by man it can and will fail, just a matter of when.

Dad had a 68 MGB Roadster.

That car is why I could never convince my adult self to get a Land Rover.
I had a ‘67 MGB I built from a ‘67 and a ‘68, back in high school. Nice car, epic issues. Positive ground hell….

you were gone only 2-3 days....I had Ford park mine at dirt mountain for 2 months to get it through the 'home alone' jitters.

Seriously, my Jeep Renegade was on the first boatload from Italy. I needed probably 12-15 flashes the first coupl'a weeks...but it's been a charm the last 110,000 miles

This is definitely the first thing I would try too. Disconnect the battery, then let it sit few minutes to allow all the charges stored within the vehicle due to internal capacitances to dissipate (might be able to also just press the horn until it no longer honks if you don’t want to wait). Then reconnect battery and try again.

Thanks for the advice! Luckily I didn't need to use the electrical tape! Did the battery disconnect, let it sit for 20 and she started right up. It did show a few warning messages about 4x4 and getting service but they went away after a few minutes and did not reappear after restarting.

I am still gonna take it in for service, I wonder if it has anything to do with a recent update?

There has been a rash of loose battery cables from the Factory.

Usually after a power reset, things need to cycle so that is normal. Definitely keep up on TSBs and over air updates if they are sending them. There are a lot of new electronics on the bus and several issues seem to have been occurring with the new Broncos freaking out and going into limp or wont start.

Why not - a good hijack is always entertaining!
I had a 67 Triumph. I had to redo every bit of wiring in the car. It all worked great after that - LOL!!

This dude has owned Volkswagens.
As an owner of a VW, this is 100% accurate and I laughed. 160k miles of my 200k have been driven with a dummy light... or 3.
