Here's today's weird PacK behavior:
  • Go into the garage, the car doesn't sense that I'm nearby with a phone (no lights go on, no ponies, no nothing), so I unlock the car with the FordPass app. The first try fails. I unlock the car again, and it succeeds.
  • Get into the car, place my phone, FordPass app open and on the FordPass App "home" screen on the charger pad, Turn on the car, and head off to Starbucks (about a 5 minute drive). No issues.
  • Arrive at Starbucks. Place the car in Park, set the parking brake, turn off the car. Walk away. Hear the walk away beep.
  • Come back to the car. As I approach, the approach lighting comes on.
  • Get into the car. When I enter, the radio is already playing, and the IC is already displaying the normal display as if the car is running (speedometer, battery display, etc).
  • Main screen is demanding that I enter a password. (I haven't touched any controls yet).
  • Shifter is locked.
  • I enter the car password. The car password is accepted, and the display says to press the brake pedal and turn on the car.
  • I press the brake pedal and press the start button.
  • The main display again asks for the password and the shifter is still locked.
  • I enter the car password again. The car password is accepted, and the display says to press the brake pedal and turn on the car.
  • I press the brake pedal and press the start button.
  • The main display changes to the normal display.
  • The shifter unlocks.
  • I'm able to drive away
Anyone ever encounter this before? Don't ask if I can repeat it please, I'm going to be tied up at work for a while :(

If that was my laptop, I'd look to see if I missed a software patch.

Lol! We’ve already established I’ve missed “software patches” ?
