- [SSM 47886](/bulletins/10156600.md), 2019-04-03, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2012\-2016 F\-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit a battery cable clamp corrosion concern at the positive battery terminal. It is not necessary to replace the complete battery cable harness CC3Z\-14300\-A for this concern. Positive battery cable clamp BT4Z\-14450\-AA is available and can be used to replace just the corroded terminal. Do not cut or shorten the battery cable, but instead remove the corroded battery cable clamp and clean the cable end as necessary. Bend the new battery cable clamp as needed and crimp it to the existing battery cable. Make sure to use heat shrink tubing over the battery cable to battery cable clamp connection. Obtain the heat shrink tube locally.

Some 2018 F\-150 and Expedition vehicles may exhibit a battery draw resulting in a discharged battery.

If the draw cannot be duplicated with fuse F70 removed, suspect the EPB switch.
