FIXED/ISSUE FOUND: Cabin air filter was damp. Removed it and running without the filter airflow is normal.
Went through the car wash last night, guessing I didn't realize I had HVAC on and not in recirc mode. Lessons learned. Not deleting in hope this helps others.
Started this morning. I have no, or no noticeable anyway, airflow out of any vents (to include defrost) in all mode settings and temps. Blower motor responds to speed changes as expected just no airflow coming out. So the air is blocked somewhere. Guessing a blend door/actuator just trying to...
After confirming this was the issue I bought 3 new wiring harnesses and used silicone self sealing tape and 33+ electrical tape on all exposed areas. She's all good now. No clue how I've gone through 2 of wirings in 3 months, but hopefully they are sealed well enough for it not to happen again...

I bought the alldata 1-yr subscription and to learn about how the layout worked I checked out the connector that was replaced back in June for my taillight staying on. Found it has can bus lines in it. Went out and pulled connector apart and it was full of water...

At this point I think it’s the can bus itself??? I get a random...
This is exactly why I went ahead and replaced the battery today. Figured when/if I take it to the dealer thats the first thing they would say.
Really sounds like you and I are having exactly the same/similar issue.
I know this just started happening last week as I work in a secure facility...
New symptom today. 3rd brake cargo lamp comes on randomly and turns on and never turns off every time you lock the truck. It’s off, you lock, it’s on. Dash indicator light for cargo lamp comes on when light comes on.
I’ve also timed the sleep cycle. It sleeps for 48 seconds, on for 30, sleeps...
So I left the battery disconnected overnight to see if that would change anything, it did not. Same issue, but I have a new symptom now. Go to setting on 12" display, click on icon (say lights), and settings are all missing. Is there a module that loads the settings? Not sure if its related to...
Was the dealer able to find anything? I think what I have is the same thing:
