ISSUE
Some 2004 and 2005 Explorer vehicles equipped with 4X4 may exhibit a battery drained condition. This may occur after the customer has enabled the neutral tow feature on a 4X4 Explorer and the vehicle has not been driven for an extended period. The battery drain is caused by a software error which may keep the electrical system from going into sleep mode.
