Hybrid Owners Electrical Issue poll

[Sliphorn]

Ok here's my thought.

Last Saturday night sitting by the campfire with the truck about 20 feet away I kept hearing relays clicking. It had been well over an hour since I drove the truck. It did it several times maybe 15 minutes apart. Any ideas??/ The trucks running fine.

It's up to like 19 now.

Trying to create a panic over 18 trucks is a problem at the end of the day is a battery cable

I own 9 of them and not a single problem,

That's what I like to hear! I also like your videos

Seeing several reports of Maverick Hybrids having electrical issues made me wonder how widespread the issue really is. I thought a poll asking if you are or are not experiencing electrical issues such as deep sleep mode, harness issue, Ford App 3rd party electrical drain issue, or just simply a dead maverick resulting from electrical problems may give a better idea of how prevalent the issues are.

For this to give meaningful data both hybrid owners who have no electrical system issues and those that do have electrical system issues would need to participate. Thank You!

I’ll hit 10K miles on my way to work this morning. No issue whatsoever at this point. Loving my Mav.

You are hearing contactors opening and closing. Basically the truck is maintaining itself by turning on and off coolant to the battery (among other things) or in some cases if it detects the key near by it will prep itself to start. All the hybrids I have driven do this.

WesM is correct. All hybrids do this.

I have had a couple things happen but no big issues. For example: touch screen issues when touched doesn't respond (unplug and replug phone and it works fine); I connected a lighted trail hitch hub cover and for 3 weeks constantly received a fault that trailer lights not connected (the hitch cover was lighted; it has now stopped appearing); just yesterday I received a notice that rear camera was not working and to contact the dealer (camera is working fine). Not sure what causes the faults/notices but the truck runs fine. 4500 miles since End of April delivery.

Try again, the blower speed is adjustable when A/C is in the Max setting. The blower speed lights do illuminate and FYI if vehicle is turned off and restarted it will be at the same speed as when turned off. The "Max" setting does nothing other than use inside air recirculated in place of bringing in outside air. The Idea is, If it's say 100 degrees out, as the inside cools down the A/C is more efficient at cooling air as is gets colder inside rather than the outside 100 degree air trying to be cooled down.

Probably should read your manual. That is all. Good day sir.

Count me as one of the few hybrid owners with an intermittent electrical problem (no-start, stop safely now msg, mil & battery lights) that the dealer can’t fix. Look at my posts for a complete description of my sad story so far. Ordered August 2021, May 2022 build, July 2022 delivery, less than 700 miles. Great truck when running tho.​

The truck is always talking, kind of freaked me out at first. Now I talk back.

Anybody know WHY Mav makes all those strang clicking noises? If i have my foot lightly on gas pedal i can feel mov event....lie the pedal just depressed a tiny bit....weird.

Took mine in almost 2 weeks ago with shift system fault. They told me the technician ordered a Hybrid Inverter. Still hasn't come in yet. Hopefully I'll get it back this week. Only 1500 miles.

You mean other than occasional power conservation or deep-sleep mode? Otherwise, it's been great, just with those occasional messages in the Ford App. (And of course that turns off the proximity sensor on the passenger door, and the dash doesn't light up when getting into the vehicle until you cycle the options off and back on).

How do I know if I am having an electrical problem before it gets bad? I have 250 miles on my new 23
