Anti Theft System Problems
We have had our Four Winds 26A for less than one month. Last week the Anti Theft System thought I was trying to steal it and locked the electronics and ignition. Had to have it towed to the Ford Store, they replaced the PCM, back up and running. Four days later, same thing with the anti theft system. It will be towed back to dealer Monday. Anyone else have any similar problems or have any ideas as to what is happening?

Found the problem
Update, the problem turned out to be the wrong cable to the brake controller. Replaced it with the correct one and everything seems to be in order now. Time will tell.
