I'm hoping it's just from when it was in transit, but I'll definitely post an update after I get her fully charged and reset the battery monitor system.
Not to worry. If I don't drive mine for more than 4-5 days, I'll get the "deep sleep" message. I've never had a problem in nearly 4 months. These trucks protect themselves from letting the battery getting too low. Earlier Mavericks had more of an issue.
I've put 160 miles on mine so far but it wasn't enough to come out of deep sleep by itself, so once I get her charged fully I'm hoping that does it!
That "Deep Sleep" message won't go away on its own. You need to delete it from FordPass each time it appears there. It is a message, not a current status.
If you've manually turned it on after getting that message, it really should go away. Try closing the app and re-opening it after you start the Maverick. THAT notice should go away automatically, unlike the messages about deep sleep. Ford's IT is glitchy everywhere.For me it's not in messages? It's a banner on the top of the app... Weird.
I've tried everything, nothing makes that message go away. Even completely uninstalling and removing cash and files from my phone unpairing and repairing still it comes back.
Well, that's not normal. Mine went away after starting once. Same with my 2020 Transit. Its an RV, so it goes into deep sleep while in storage, despite the fact that I keep a trickle charger on the chassis battery. Seems to be based on both voltage AND time. But my Maverick does NOT behave like yours. Sorry
I appreciate the input nonetheless, I'm just trying to figure it out. I charged the battery up before I took off tonight. Then did a battery monitor reset, still nothing.
I keep a little voltmeter in the 12v dash to watch the real voltage going on. Handy little things. Similar to this. https://www.amazon.com/Palumma-Charger-Adapter-Display-Battery/dp/B0773BYS6P/
Grabbing one of those now. Thank you for the insight, if I can't get it to drop off after an all night charge tonight, I might have to look at the dealership sideways. Lol!
I bought other brands...probably all off ebay.
Thanks for the heads up!I bought other brands...probably all off ebay.
I got one that was completely fake. It read 12.5V no matter what the actual voltage was. I contacted the seller and he just gave me a full refund...didn't even offer a replacement, so I suspect he knew it was a fraud. Here is my order, with the seller shown. So stay away from this one....
I will do that! Can't hurt!Check this secondary battery lug connector for tightness. It's not obvious and caused me and my dealer 3 visits of fun -)
