I have a 2017 f 250 tried to start 3 times it turned over but not start, tried to set up tow and spent 25. mins. on phone with AAA, went to leave keys for tow truck, and tried to start truck again and it started up, went to shop to see what to do about problem, they told me if problem isn't constant not much to find problem if not acting up, So what would cause this, seen clock went from 12 hr, format to 24 hr. is it something electrical, could it be battery, where do I start, happened last week not a problem since. When will happen again, I don't want it to be something i got to worry to drive , truck only has 27000. mi. on it

 

Sometimes when power is interrupted settings change. What is the procedure to change your vehicle clock from 12 hour to 24 hour format? If it involves a temporary drop in power, that could maybe explain what might be happening with the vehicle entire electrical system, a temporary loss of power, that might involve cable connections at the battery.

 

To change the clock format you hit the menu button on the display of clock and toggle from 24 hr. format to12 hr. the thing is it kept the proper time rather than restarting at 12am. I will check the contacts at battery, this only happened once in the past 7 days, starting the truck at least once every other day, thanks for advice.

 

Please stay with us until we find the cause and maybe help get it corrected, thanks.
