Last week the Bluetooth kept disconnecting, and screen function has progressively gotten worse. It will not connect to bluetooth, the push button dials for radio will not turn unit on or off now. The wire connection for sync was my way around Bluetooth, and now it will not function.
All push buttons are delayed a minute or more. And gps quit today.
Obviously it’s fried, anyone else see the issue?
I have master reset a bunch of times, disconnected fuses and battery to reset, it’s toast.

APIM module is bad and needs to be changed, what type of vehicle? Dealer has to run a diagnosis and have the module fail and generate a code for it in order to order a new one.

It's a Ford. Fords are pieces of shite. Lazy UAW workers make them

It’s a common problem with new Fords.

The fix involves a Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, or GMC.

Had the same problem with my 2016. It is covered under warranty if you are still covered. Otherwise $$$$.

Sync 3 system? I had a similar problem with mine about 2 months after I bought it. Brought it to the dealer and they checked it out and said some module was fried. They ordered the part and replaced it under warranty and haven’t had any issues in 2+ years since

Everyone on this board has such a hard on for Ford. And they’re not shite vehicles. But I swear it’s literally a Ford every single thread about “My such and such is broken.”

It’s a 2017 lariat - and mine is company vehicle- so it’s free. I’d drive a yugo that’s free. My other personal vehicles have all been Toyota for 26 years

Might not be your problem, but I hat a host of similar problems, and stranger things like the radio not cutting off after I turned off the car and shut the doors, nav system rebooting with no reason, AC working some times, but not others, etc.

Turned out my battery was bad and causing everything to go to shite.

These are called "design features".
