Hi All.....
Rarely post anything, but I have run into what I think is a very odd problem. I have a 2021 Bronco Badlands that I purchased new in September of 21'. I noticed that the ASS was only working intermittently and eventually stopped all together. I wasn't too worried about it because I only used it rarely. Bout a year go I went camping in the mountains of NC and I towed a tear drop trailer and I was using the seven pin connector so all the blind spot/parking sensors/cross traffic alert, etc. are all disabled. So when I got home and unhooked the trailer I noticed that the ASS was working again. It worked for about a week and then it started getting intermittent again and stopped altogether a sort time later. I figured it was a conscience. I went camping again last weekend, got home on Monday and of course the ASS is working again.
Can someone tell me what the hell one has got to do with the other (Towing a trailer making the ASS work for a while)???? The only explanation I can come up with that the battery is charging at a rate of 14.8V while driving for five hours on the interstate. And then that long coming home a few days later. The higher rate of charge may have raised the battery voltage enough so that the ASS doesn't think its too low to shut the engine off once in a while.?????
