Urgent Electrical Issue - Interior Lights Blackout While Driving

[compass crusher]

Hey Bronco Sport community,

I need some help and insights regarding a concerning electrical issue I encountered with my Bronco Sport. While driving at night, all of my interior lights unexpectedly turned off for about fifteen seconds. This happened three times within a span of ten minutes.

During these incidents, not only did the interior lights go pitch black, but also the MPH on my dash, the monitor, the tiny notification lights around the headlights, and all the transmission gauges were affected. It's a complete blackout inside the Bronco.

To add to the mystery, I've noticed a notification on the dash when everything turned back on that says "Front camera is disabled." However, I have a Big Bend model, it doesn't come equipped with a front camera.

Has anyone else experienced this specific notification or have any advice on what could be causing these issues? I'm worried about the safety implications, especially driving at night with my two year old. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Under warranty? If so, take it in for repair.

It just left the dealership last week

They must of not plugged something in correctly.

I'd certainly would take it back then, especially if it happened right after their repair.

Better the interior lights than the exterior. I had an '81 F-250 with a bad headlight switch. Suddenly, the lights turned off. Fortunately, the brights still worked.
