Hi Group! A few days ago A trailer alarm started going off when I put the truck in reverse. It throws alarms for the trailer turn signal bulbs being blown, eventually it says it disconnected the trailer.. Which was never connected in the f1rst place.. It has 11400 miles. Anyone else experience this?

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Sounds like something in the trailer wiring may be shorting to ground. On a vehicle that new, I would recommend making Ford find and fix the problem.

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
Wasn't there a recall or a TSB about the rear trailer or taillight harness connector failing?

Go to the dealer, that's what warranties are for...
