I have a 2013 flex and recently my drivers side blinker went out, changed the bulb and still not working went through and checked fuses/ and wires.
Took it to pep boys to have it flashed( read on here it’s probably a control issue) paid 166.00 bucks to find out my BCM part number da8z15604d is toast and need a new one. They called looking for the part. No one has it. Called ford they said it’s discontinued and to call 2 if their suppliers (they are sold out/ won’t be getting them back at all). So I took it a step further and called ford motor company to talk to one of the service/parts specialist. No one has one.
Was told if o find one at a junk yard it’s 50/50 that it will work to my car! Well I have a new call into ford motor company and a complaint. My car is 11 years old and how are they not making parts for it. I’m super pissed I paid 13 k for a car I have had for a year can’t legally drive it (no running lights/brake lights and no drivers turn signal) so I have a massive yard ornament ! Was told I should buy an external lighting system from Amazon and wire it to my passenger side switch and mount it to my car. Ummmmmm that’s a horrible idea and depreciates my resale value. Mind you my car has a couple of issues like my sunroof leaks and because of that my radio and heating system has “temporarily lost connection “ I can deal with that but I have kids and if they don’t fix this I’m not sure what I’m gonna do !
I’m ranting. This is a first for me ! And I have been working on and selling cars for over 20 years
