I will be very interested in your findings and your conversations with Demco and others. I reached out to Demco this morning and they said its a Bronco problem, they had no contacts and Ford was going to have to address it. They also said there was no supplemental braking system on the market that works with the 2.7l. Funniest was they sent me a link to this thread.
I was pretty sure my was working properly, until I really tested it.
I also found a twitter handle to a Bronco Engineer today and sent them a tweet for help and a link to the thread. I am not holding my breath, but hope remains.
It just canāt be this friggān hard.

You're right JD, it shouldn't be this hard to get reliable help from this huge corporation.
Makes me think they don't have a solution or not worth putting the time n money to find a fix.

I am also working on a connection with a Forscan tech that is going to be looking into the issue from a software/programming standpoint.

Gents,
A thought on how to get Fordās attention. This EBB sleep issue affects all ātowableā Ford vehicles with EBB produced after a certain year, correct? If so what are everyoneās thoughts on producing a list of towable vehicles and posting on a couple of RV forums such as āIRV2ā. My thought being if we can make this about more than the Bronco, which has a very small group of owners who flat tow, we might be able to get Fordās attention.
Iām willing to post on another forum but will need some help putting together a list of vehicles affected and the detail of the issue. Since Iām still waiting for my Bronco, thatās been stuck in a rail yard 3.5 hours away for 24 days, I donāt have first hand knowledge so Iād need some help validating my understanding of the issue.

I have already put the Bronco issue on IRV2. I am not sure and with out a lot of effort to confirm the problem exists across platforms. I am assuming it should. Especially the F-150. Probably naive, but I think if we keep working on it we will find a solution and eventually the NTHSB should come around. In the coming days I am going to build a list of press RV outlets to notify, I think that will have more of an effect than a bunch of pesky owners bitching about a problem that Ford probably thinks is pilot or accessory installed error.

According to a tech, that spent 3 hours digging around in forscan. Looking for a toggle or setting to change. There was nothing he could find to do that he thought would fix the issue..
Soooo! Didnāt work! I let it run on the line for 45 mins tapping brakes periodically and the the ebb shut off I opened the door and it came on again I sat in the bronco while my son hit the brakes in the rv fully connected and in flat tow mode and 15 mins later I heard a click noise and the power brakes went away again so guess Iāll be calling ford on Monday to see what they are gonna do.
Side note I had water dripping from the center of my muffler I have a pin hole on it I guess from sitting at Dearborn great one more thing to talk to them about

Interior guy, unfortunately not surprised. This is a Ford issue not Demco, not charge line. Ford needs to get on this ASAP
I agree
Sorry it didn't work, how long can Ford ignore it to avoid a recall... Side note, I have a pin hole to (see pick) next to blue dot.
I believe it is to prevent moisture buildup in the muffler
Oh so thatās supposed to be there?
