Good friend of ours and I were speaking last night as mentioned blower motor, he noted replaced there old Expedition with a newer one a little over year and half ago. Got thru a close by dealer and was one of the Ford Certified used cars, 1 year warranty as bought. The wife was driving it and all the Aux functions quit, radio, windows, dis have wipers on and working but would not shut off. So to a repair shop as no warranty remaining.
Came to find out the electrical system is split into TWO Separate bodies, engine/drivetrain and what can be considered Accesoiries, has TWO Batteries, Separated Charging Circuits thru a special Module where charges each battery separately, accessory battery was not accepting a recharge where was getting a charge value, replaced battery and all was good again for two weeks. Repeated. So replaced module ar Ford, again not warranty, $488, as well new battery was drained and would not recover so took back to first shop that replaced NC. So far seems good and been a couple months. He is now gunshy of it. Been explained are SEVENTEEN separate modules in their car. Charging Module one of the least expensive and known failure point.

Related same to guy I received KW from, he has a newer Jeep, Same, TWO Batteries and independent charge system, his New F550 Diesel THREE Batteries and closer to THIRTY Modules, he is going to trade out ANNUALLY to Semi Annually to keep Warranty and functions as see this even in OTR Semi Trucks.
