My 2017 Raptor is with the mechanic as we speak for this same issue...my light is intermittent though and the power steering gets a little choppy after the light pops up and goes away.
Thanks for the comment. That's sounds different from what happened to me. I understand the power steering is electric these days, as opposed to hydraulic, so the two can definitely be related. Let us know what it turns out to be, hopefully it will help others. Thanks again.
Thanks for asking. My battery was fine (at least so far and it's been a while). The error shows up not because there's a problem with the battery but the charging/electrical system, etc. Seems like a poor design on my vehicle that the wires are so short, but at least it's not a super expensive fix. Good luck with yours.
@robertguthrie4113 Any luck getting your issue resolved? If so, do you know what your fix was? I also am having the same issue on my 2024 Ranger and have the issue persisting and my dealer is stumped. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the question and I agree it sure looks a bit unusual. I got the error long before my mechanic saw it and I trust him so I don't believe there was any deception. He said the wire was just long enough to span a gap and our theory is that during some operation (maybe hard acceleration?) the engine would move slightly on its mounts and put more strain on the wire. I believe the copper may have work hardened at the point they exit the connector or simply that's where the most strain and flexing occurs. In any case that's where it broke and I'm happy the error on the dash board was unusual enough it caused me to leave the vehicle parked till I got it to my mechanic. I could have certainly been stranded somewhere. The truck is/was about 4 years old and maybe 40K miles, so it took some time for it to fail. Thanks again.

This happened to my 2017 today as well. I also noticed the power steering issues. Did you figure out what the problem was?
I have the same error on my new 2024 ford ranger good thing is under warranty would I need to have them replace the battery too after it’s fixed?

How do the 3 wires just sheer off like that? Looks like your mechanic cut them…
