Having trouble getting my wifes 2019 F-250 fixed and wonder if anyone is a Ford tech.

Problem is it won't start most of the time. Sometimes it starts perfectly, then other times it throws all sorts of codes and the push button start just flashes.

It has been at a repair place for about a week where they replaced the batteries and the battery in the key fob.

They said nothing is wrong now so I went to pick it up. They sent someone to bring it around, but of course it wouldn't start. The batteries were only a year old, I had already tested them and there was nothing was wrong with them. They told my wife they needed replacing and she told them to get it running.

Here is a clue perhaps. If you push the start button about 30 times in quick succession it may start on one of those tries like normal. Doesn't matter if it is hot or cold. Otherwise it dings and the start button blinks rapidly. All sorts of messages on the cluster happen at the same time.

I was hoping someone with Ford experience might have seen this before. My wife wants her truck back and she is in a foul mood...

Next question, the steering wheel now has a fault and they say it needs a new steering wheel. Everyone I know with 2016 - 2020 F-250s said they need steering wheels also, any idea on that?

there has to be some type of code stored in the security module (pats)
