Had my ED about 3 weeks and getting weird issues with 8.4N.

1) Display shutoff while driving the other day but radio was working. Could not get anything else to work though with changing channels on wheel, voice commands, etc. Turned off truck and back on and no go so thought a trip to dealer was necessary. A couple hours later on trip to store it was back and has stayed on the last few days...

2) today on 2 different bluetooth calls it dropped the call and the truck in a female computer voice said "sorry an error occurred" immediately after dropping the call and it was not from the phone so I assume its in the truck software

3) listening to iPod today and a rain storm came though and when the automatic wipers turned on the song restarted back to the beginning. Turning auto wipers off solved this issue. However how in the **** are the two related?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

All that electronic stuff is going to require some professional diagnosis. You can't just say "there's a ground problem" any more. Then you would look for the loose connection and fix it yourself. Those days are over unless you can find the impossible.

Get it to the dealer or...hire a priest.

It may be possessed.

The impossible??? A basic engine, manual transmission, mechanical injectors and no electronics outside of lights.

more luck with getting it to the dealer

I would tell them to replace the radio unit.

950 miles..got in mine today and noticed Am/FM/Sirius presets all gone and it was at factory presets..wierd.
Of course my wife drove truck for first time yesterday so who knows what happened.

I looked in owner's manual about the Memory seat button on these things. How in the heck does the Memory Seat switch remember pedal positions, mirrors, radio, etc? Maybe wife hit the Memory seat button and reset everything to factory settings???

Also, I noticed at 950 miles oil level in engine was below min mark. Thinking dealer never checked it and was delivered a quart low???

it's possible that the dealer never checked and slacked off on the PDI process, unfortunately.
