Its under instrument cluster.

You need to buy the terminals and add them to the conectors.

I belive expensive models come with 2 already added but i could be wrong. Im just waiting on someone with a expensive model than XL to show me the PCM connector

What do you need a photo of? I've got an xlt lux.

Does it automatically show the gear your in when you hit the paddles ?
I have a digital cluster swap and never could get it to show gear, only prndl. Not 1-8

It drives normal until you used the shifters then it becomes manual.

Parts list of things needed for the conversion will add them here later on.

IF YOU DONT WANT HEATED AND LANE DEPARTURE ON YOUR XL MAVERICK YOU MIGHT NOT NEED TO BUY THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE. AS THE XL COMES WITH THE PINS.

Steering control Module from Ford Maverick XLT With Heated Steering Wheel and lane departure if you want it. Module will Come with both switches and Clockspring.

Steering Wheel that comes with Paddle Shifters of your preference Ford Escape Or Bronco. i took a risk and bought an European on From Ford Fiesta ST but you dont have to spend that money for it.

PCM Wiring terminals X3 so You can add them to the pcm connector.
DU2Z-14474-CA

Steering control module Connector Terminals X3
DU2Z- 14474-BA

Wires Looms , Zip ties and shrink tubing for wiring and 3 different colors 16 gauge cables.

Ok here we go with the wiring . Corsair clock spring connector .

Transmission paddle shifters wires diagram. adding here.

Now i will be adding the Ford Maverick 2022 XL since thats the one i drive . Mine already has Cruse Control added and other switches. Notice this one on the PCM Shows it already comes with 2 wires for the up shift and down shift on XL model its false the diagram i had to add all 3 wires.

PCM Connector from 2022 Ford Maverick shows pin 5 and pin 6 from pcm having shifter up and down . Good sign """

Connector from clock spring to steering wheel shows pins could be added for the steering wheel .

Im adding this because this its the steering wheel i bought. from UK ford Fiesta

Now i will add process . and pictures Start By removing Negative Battery Terminal.

And remove Air bag From steering wheel.

you got to do both sides. once you removed be carful disconnecting the 2 air bags to clockspring connectors . use a pocket screw driver or Pick . just carefully pull clip and press on the sides with your fingers and pull up. first your going to disconnect the white connector of the horn.

once you remove the air bag you should put the wheel straight, remove clockspring connector on top and remove the 24mm bolt so you can remove steering wheel from the steering column.

Once you remove the steering wheel you should left like this.

Remove bezel from steering Column 2 bolts on the bottom. be gentle with this as this interiors on the mavericks gets scratch easily you know the drill with mavericks interiors.

Unplug all connectors on Steering Control Module and remove the steering control module 4 bolts you will see they are big black bolts torques t30 or t27 dont remember right now lol apologies. when pulling out be carefully as on the back they have notches that holds it in place.

Once you removed it install the new one that you bought for the conversion and follow the same order but before you install the bezel install the 3 pins and make the wire harness for paddle shifters.

part numbers for connector and wiring its on top.

thats how it should look like when install with ford oem terminals .

PIN 5 = upshift / PIN 6 = Down shift / PIN 7 = Signal Return needed """

Make A Hole on the rubber by the firewall your going to see a big plugged and pass the wires true it make sure to but insulation on the wires to protect from ambient and rotten.

dont know if you can see the wireloom pass true and the harness i made.

I pull the wires next to the battery and used the whole true to pass the harness to the fender well area . clean and secure cant even find it in the picture. lol
Remove front Driver side wheel and fender liner. and remove PCM dust cover to get access to connector.

remove first pcm connector the first one to the right. remove the tape cut a little bit of the insulation from factory . With care always. remove the top of the connector shield and bottom white pin protector all with care. maximun care when removing or installing terminals. as you can see i added the 3 cables alreay on the connector was kind of on a rush.

heres wiring on terminals your adding to this connector mine did not come with them but on the ford wiring it says some come with up shift and downshift terminals already on the connector be aware.

heres my little hand writing explaining the wire harness i made and the part number for the pcm terminals that will be needed.

Install everything back toghether the same way you took it out. Next i will post Instructions for enabling with forscan. be patient with me.

heres clip of the car running already and test driving the paddle shifter.

Good Morning Antonio,

This is excellent work, everyone should appreciate your dedication. I have a Mk8 wheel with blue stitching, do you know if they made a paddle shifter wheel in blue? Thanks for your time.

The bu5t terminal you wrote down. Is this for the ECU or the clock spring switch ?

I called the dealer and the BU5T is on national backorder at the moment.

I got everything wired in and somewhat working. I'm waiting on a forscan license mine expired. But the shift up works but not down shift.

I tried to switch the wires around to diagnose it and then both didn't work. Not sure if it's a issue with my paddles or how the down shift actually functions. Up does work tho. I'm kinda confused. I'm going to unplug the connector and run a 12v through the wire to see if there's a good connection on both ends.

Weird . Make sure you put the pins on the right place dont trow power . A better test i suggests doing its and ohm test. More safer with but conectors disconnected too.

I just got my forscan done. And still same thing. No downshift. Hmmm weird. Now I was tinkering with deleting stuff off my explorer dash I don't need like navigation in the menu that doesn't work and after changing a few things I'm getting a 4wd error
