first minor issue (service sta-bar) - possible easy solution

[mrjking2000]

so i went snow bashing for the 2nd time yesterday. and for the 2nd time in the snow i got the "service sta-bar" message.

now that all the wetness has dried off and i am not laying in a puddle. i found a very lose wiring harness that fell off as soon as i touched it:

i plugged back in, started up the bronco, but the warnings are still there.

so i'm pulling the battery negative for 20-30 minutes to see if that clears up the issue. i have a feeling this wiring harness didn't get clicked in from the factory, and snow pushing up there after getting stuck put it at enough of an angle to lose connection to the sway bar module.

will report back if this fixes my issue, or whether or not i have to run to my dealer for service.

I had a similar issue described exactly by this TSB below. Same code. Went away on its own after 2 days. I'll check this plug too.

i got an email this morning that he found a TSB regarding the sway bar module not working. awaiting further details, but I have an appt for next week (my first availability). he believes we can do this in one visit and I drive my bronco back home vs getting a loaner for a few days.
