I have a 2010 F150 lariat that has been in really good condition for long while.  Now has 190k miles and most recently the open door gauge won't turn off on my dash, same thing with the change oil light.  I've taken it to mechanic and they said it was mechanical but couldn't detect the problem.  This morning while driving to work, for the first time a wrench light popped on after driving 5 miles or so under 30 mpg.  Soon as it happened my steering wheel locked up and when I pressed the gas, truck wouldn't accelerate but truck the engine didn't shut down.  Was luckily able enough to get over a little on a side street and turn off the truck.  Waited 5 minutes and the truck started fine and haven't had an issue rest of the day driving.  My daughter really wants this truck for her first car.  Not sure if this is an electrical issue or something that more problematic like powertrain issue that I've been reading about.  Other you tube channels said just needs to reset the PCM?  Any advise.  Appreciate what you do, my wife watched your videos for months before making a decision on what she wanted to buy.  Thanks, Craig

Well, the wrench light comes on just means it has a problem. You have to get it scan by professional mechanic like me to analyze what type of codes of popped up. There are so many possibility there are hundreds of different things. So if you can get it scanned and at least send me the codes here I can analyze
