We've got an actual rear wiper blade now instead of a wiper arm wrapped in a protective paper towel and a very broken blade sitting in the cargo area. Moving on up in the world.
I still can't get over how the color looks in the sun.
I didn't sleep much Friday, Saturday, or Sunday either and still lost some last night over the wrench light being on. Hoping tonight I'll rest a bit more soundly after knowing it's just a software thing. The light was off this morning anyways.
I wish the dealership experience didn't cause this...
They offered me a freebie of this new plug and play version to test if I make an install video. Video and review to come next week. They look a lot easier than having to splice into the turn signal wiring.
Checked coolant and oil. Played with goat modes and they all still work. Drives normally. Gonna take it to work tomorrow then have them look at it once I'm off. Also noticed my rear wiper blade is broken, so they can fix both issues while it's there.
Edit: My Ford buddy pulled up my code from...
Interesting dealership experience! My Badlands looks perfect and drives beautifully. It is missing that passenger side fuse panel, but they're going to order it for me. They originally gave me the new higher sticker price without price protection, so I called them out and sent them @fordvideoguy...
It was long, but I really shouldn't complain. I bought the Big Bend knowingly as a placeholder and have had the privilege of driving that around during my long wait. I did feel a lot of pressure to keep the mileage low and keep it pristine, so I haven't been driving as much as I'd like...
Thanks, Steve! Can't explain how this happened. My tracker says it's awaiting shipping. Visibility report says it's in Hermosillo. I'll take this stroke of luck and enjoy it.
It's nasty. Looks like it's been sitting at a rail yard for 2 months. ? Just took a drive over to see it before they closed. My salesman promised she'll clean up nice and I can pick it up on Monday.
All I can say is thank goodness for you folks. You've been so supportive and have kept me hopeful through the wait. Still looking forward to my new Bronco as much as the day I ordered it!
