Not mine, I was just helping OP out with the answer since I saw the WT sticker on the fender. But I agree, I hate to see guys having issues with their Broncos, so frustraiting!

Yes. I was without my Bronco for just over a month and now this happens. Making me seriously concerned to go anywhere where a tow truck could not easily get to me.

We disconnected the battery when the tow truck driver was there and reconnected it and that did not do anything and we also checked the fuses under the hood at least and they seemed all be fine. The tow truck driver was just as baffled as I was that the lack of response from the vehicle when trying to jump it.
Could be anything from battery, bad wiring, fuses, etc..
here's the post on the bad gateway, his dash and info screen was blank as well. Is yours?

Yes. Completely blank on both the dash and the infotainment screen.

Well that's where I'd tell the techs to start when it gets towed in. That really stinks.
If its under warranty you need to ask for a new battery as well since it most likely killed it too.

The fuse box has 3 terminal connectors that sit below the visible fuse box. I've found those terminal connectors are fickle and prone to somehow loosen if the bolts aren't tightened just perfectly.
If even one of those terminal connectors aren't in correctly, the entire car goes black. Just my personal experience but maybe worth looking at.
Disconnect battery, open and disassemble fuse box and reassemble again while making sure the 3 connectors are fully seated and pulled up into the fuse box.
I had a similar issue exactly two weeks after I picked mine up. went out to leave for work and the car was "dead" wouldn't crank or anything. towed away by ford and wound up being the gateway module. it took the dealership 5 weeks to get it back to me.

Total BS issues on these vehicles, and should absolutely not happen.
Dangerous and a matter of time before a fatal incident where the vehicle shuts off in the wrong place.

I got the call from the Ford service guy and they confirmed it was a bad gateway. They mentioned my accessories I’ve added but came up short of blaming it on them. I’ve have an ARB air compressor, winch, and some lights that have all been installed by techs at a local shop. I’m glad I’m not having to fight them over warranty this time like I did with my failed fuel pump.
I should be picking up tomorrow.
