Thats the 12v distribution block. All that is 12v HOT, be careful.
Did you really tug on the cable while watching the DVM?, it has to be done at the same time. I would move it side to side, push on it while watching meter.
If you want it to fail, give it a good tug and i bet the cable will dislodge from the lug.

There are several who have been misled to believe that the bolt was Ford's fix on later models. That those with the problem do not have this bolt, and that it's all that is required to fix the issue
Yea did that both stayed at 3v on the multimeter while wiggling both side to side. I think the cable solder points are good. Not sure what wrong with mine

We jump started it under the hood. It fired right up but it did keep dying, even at 55 mph just going down the road, everything just shut off. We were just under 100 miles from home. In total it took 4 hours to get it home with all the starting and stopping.

No, I haven't but I am going to! If they don't issue a recall the least they can do is inform people to keep flares in the truck!
Rj, thx for diagnose, we may be on to something else. A couple of other members were suggesting that the problem could be elsewhere. Some offered up that it may be another point along the cable.
Please offer up and post what the dealer finds, your data could be the piece that solves the puzzle, it would be real nice if you could see the cable and tell us what the material is?
Others are saying to file with NTSB?
Thx very much for letting us follow you on this rough journey with the Mav.

Its so common now they have it named acronym BCE, if this is acceptable repair to there defective connections, i will do my own repair.
Like other people have brought up, if 1 connection is defective why wouldnt the ones be defective?

Very cheap and Dangerous way to make a main supply cable. Who is leading Ford's supplies, Ford or crooked supplier?

Quality # One!?
From Space/Aviation 6 reasons for Harness Failure
Let’s explore how wiring harnesses are made, and where companies can run into issues during the initial manufacturing process. Ensuring that you start with correct materials, wires, connectors and configurations will go a long way to guaranteeing the quality of the end product and that it doesn’t prematurely fail after installation.
1. Incorrect Wire Preparation and Staging
Preparing wires for a harness involves: selecting the right wiring product, cutting it to the specified length, and stripping the ends. While this is often done via an automated machine, user error and poor machine maintenance and adjustment can lead to problems. Make sure you are selecting the right size wire, and that the machine is adjusted properly.
2. Poor Wire Harness Layout
Beyond prepping wires, if they are not laid out correctly to be connected to the harness chassis it may not fit in the finished product, or may lead to excessive lengths of wire that will need to be trimmed. Often, creating a form board can help technicians easily identify the wires needed, if any are missing, and where they should be placed.
3. Shoddy Labeling
Probably one of the most common problems experienced with mass produced wire harnesses is improper labeling. One good way to make sure the wire harnesses you receive are labeled correctly is to develop a system that checks for accuracy before the labels are even printed. One good way is to create sample labels for your mock-up or traveler product when you place the work order.
4. Defects in the Crimping Process
Crimping is by far the most widely used method for terminating wire ends. When crimps are not done properly it can lead to short circuits or open circuits within the product. Or, the crimp could spontaneously fail, even if it passed a functional test. Regardless of whether you are hand crimping or using a machine, it is important to ensure equipment is set up correctly for the size of wire you are crimping.
5. Defects in Soldering
There are many issues that can arise when soldering your wires to their terminals. A soldering temperature that is too cold or too hot, poor soldering technique, or using the wrong size of iron tip on the soldering gun can all lead to issues within the circuit, and eventually, the finished product.
6. Wrong or Missing Hardware
As your line works quickly, constantly trying to meet deadlines for production, it can be easy to overlook a wire with a missing terminal connector, or that the incorrect wire is attached to the wrong hardware. Often, the best way around this is to train technicians to double check their work against the assembly specification documents.

If its any consolation, according to JD Powers, 22 model year vehicles over the entire industry of all makes and models have had more problems than they have ever recorded in 36 years of data mining. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...-reliability-in-36-years-per-jd-powers.17171/
