Hi short yt video of the problem is here: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=83F_ia8yxvw&T=189S all the problem starts for "advancetrac" warning lamp going off, signals turn light not working and then follows the video. All kind of bogus error messages you can imagine. After stoping a car, there is no way to crank it againg because of faulty start system. Lincoln dealer had to reseted all 26 dts faulty codes in 11 modules ( thats on my receipt) and blamed everything on me for using too many 12V DC outlets. To make long story short! this is a common problem reported on many web forums. A sensor in the steering rack is not able to determine the direction that the wheels are pointing and generates the alarm. The indicators will not work whilst the alarm is on unless the stalk is held in place. The error can sometimes be reset but restarting the car but not always. This deficiency is well know by Ford and many dealers yet Ford refuses to acknowledge the problem with a tsb or recall action #15S18 or just simply fixed ther car. Thank you
