I checked the alternator and that was fine. Until i pulled fuses: #9(SYNC), #29(radio GPS) that it dropped the amp draw down to 1amp, then fuses: #10(run accessory relay), and #11(intelligent access module) that it brought it back down to .004
looks like its a similar issue. I bought it from an ebay seller who offers a 1 year guarantee and actually the kit I bought from them look just like the one you shared a link to. I only got the module in August and the seller has very good reviews so Im hoping the process will be pain free.
Many models of the ebay and Amazon peeps are sync3 from 2016 many models had issues with overheating and shorting out. I had to replace the APIM not the screen. However it walks like a duck .... get them to swap it.. have them swap the whole unit Inc screen These Chinese companies bought the batch of defectives, and resell them try if u can.

There is 4DTech and Infotainment.com both very reputable sources of OEM upgrades.For the record there are those here that would say we caused our problems going the easy to buy route. Here is the proper way to do it - too late for us.
How to Upgrade From Ford Sync 2 to Ford Sync 3 [Step-By-Step Guide]
Easiest mod ever. Took me all of 20 minutes to install…gorgeous and I’m in love with my interior again, lol… Got all my stuff from Jason at FLVP Mods. Sure, I could’ve hunted the individual parts down myself and done it cheaper, but it was an easy one-stop shop with everything I need done for […]
FORScan, Cyan Labs, HP Tuners and SCT software are exclusively why I bought a Windows surface laptop. Probably also why I can’t seem to buy something other than Ford.
Here is your route. Replace the damaged APIM/Screen that's a hardware issue like mine was.
Same here - even use the laptop in the car - use a RAM laptop holder with a quick release.
That RAM mount is a great idea! Is it obtrusive or obvious when stowed away? I am seriously considering buying one.
I love mine, I will take a pic when I can. I bought the quick connect as well, so all I do is pull a pin, and it pops out. It's pretty heavy unfortunately, but it is very stable, and great for data logging. The one on Fortheworkshop.com is much lighter than this one. It's very rugged and highly recommend it, will say this peeps definitely think I am a cop. For me I take it out when I don't need it, however you can fold it down pretty easy.
It is "proper" because it is all OEM components. Personally, I went the junkyard route. I used NaviUpgrades to get my part list and a couple items that aren't OEM (like jumper harnesses). I chose a 2019 SHO Non-PP with the same options as my car and it was plug and play.
Right on...
Didn't forget about you @ShatteredMJ
