I'm having similar issues with a 2004. This seems to have timed out near the same time frame as well. I wonder if there is a bug in the Ford code that was set to fire off on or about the 19th of Nov. One person believes it is the anti theft system. reset per his method was: lock doors. Unlock with key. hold key in start position until fast light goes out. Start vehicle as normal. this didn't work for me, hope it helps others.
