After several calls to Ford Pass it was discovered that when battery get low ,9.5-11 v the power module will disconnect certain electronic module like modem. Took several calls.

Started after oil change, then Ford Pass wanted updated version, then tried to remote lock NADA!

This morning started and connectivity was on. However after short idle, on stop ending a message came up on touchscreen about power module is shutting down certain module like modem.

Ford Pass showed 2/23/23 10:30 Am off on 3/3/23 6:57Am back on, the off after stop engine.

Voltage of battery, per Ford Pass, was 12 v @6:57 Am.

If you dont run Bronco , it will discharged , due to electrical devices like modem.

A service bulletin has been posted and says will be part of June over air software update, but dont know how it affects modem discharging battery, due to storage. But power module appears to work well!

As far as SEC FILINGs , F is FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON NYSE! THERE ARE MANY LINKS that are used for SEC 10K. EDGAR official automated filing link for public companies. Call your broker for more info. link: edgar sec 10-k

Using your logic, I guest F (ord Motor Company) gets an "F" too!

PS Ford Lost $2 billion for year ended 12/31/22 and its debt carrying costs will rise. Maybe 5-6% bond rates. Maybe a Dog of the Dow ! WOFF😅

Hey Frank, is your battery drain after prolonged periods of sitting and not being driven or is it showing signs of rapid battery drain daily?

Just curious, as my wife’s Escape was doing it after it sat for a couple of weeks.

Go to 6G and check your Owners Manual page 318 . Under steering wheel is second fuse box Body Control Unit see fuse #20 TELEMATRIC.

PULL FUSE will cut 5 Amp to built in TCU . Ford parts could not find separate part other than $600 SYNC 4 module(pic above,) Those guys know what they are talking about. Going to dealer in two days. Some say pull SIM card but doubt that will cut off power. Other touch screen is software not electrical!

The above vegetables lovers all are getting their daily vitamins, but my Bronco battery is getting weaker day by day if I dont use more energy like trickle chargers. Not so with my Range Rover Sport cheap Interstate. Aren,'t trying to reduce our energy dependance?

Ford Pass supervisor had esculated question.
See attached file if interested. Ford Parts confirms part of SYNC,4 module . See wiring in attached .

Keep eating your veges! PS its a $600 part and will only be good for your built vin!

Have you considered installing solar panels on the Bronco roof?

What is the battery draw running hydroponic setups for the vegetables??
And @Bluestreak57 has a great idea you should probably look at solar so your dont stroke out over battery drain
