So I took my car out to run and pick up a new shop light for the garage. Drove to Walmart fine, drove to pick up Boba fine but when we left there, the car wouldn't start. Came up with warnings on the dash. Rapid clicking sound under the hood. I couldn't get anything to work. Then I popped the hood and the dash lit up properly and the car started. I open the hood and everything shut back off and went dark except the center screen. The relay was going crazy so I pulled out the book and seen it's a PCM relay, pulled a blower motor relay and swapped it and the car drove home fine. I figured I just had a faulty relay. The car has been problem free since I owned it besides a fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail that I replaced about 3-4 weeks ago. Other wise it's been full stg3 and tune since 150 miles without issue running e30.
Once home I shut I off and restarted it to see if the hill assist disabled light would go out.. it did. I started it 3 more times and all is well. Then I opened my door and the flashers went off a few times. I tried to start and nothing. Relay going crazy so I record this video. I left it alone, installed the new shop light and picked up my son using our other car, and came home and everything started just fine on the ST. I have over half a tank of e30, so it's not like I can unpaid the AP and take it in.. working at Ford I know they will say it's from the mods or AP, when I know they would not cause any of this. Hopefully my Ford certs and ASE certs including electrical and electrical systems will help persuade them not to come up with that ignorant, the AP shorted out the PCM or some crap like that.
Anyway, here is the video, I'm wondering if it could be the harness TSB that I've read about, but I thought that was earlier model ST's not the new models
