  1. Does 12v outlet only work when engine is on?

    This number is adjustable in Forscan. There is a limit though, you can't leave it on all the time.
  2. Top speed run number ? ... No lecturing / judging ...

    I got an idea. Ford has the max speed locked so you can't go over 108. But if you put oversize tires on, you can change the drive ratio. What if you bought a bigger diameter tire and programmed it for the smallest size wheel possible? The downside is your speedometer would be way off. You would...
  3. DISABLE PANIC ALARM

    You don't have to do this. You can leave the alarm enabled and in Forscan you have the option of lights blinking and alarm or just lights blinking, which is what I did.
  4. Short overnight camping for the Ring of Fire Eclipse

    I camped in southeast Utah close to Mexican Hat, overlooking the San Juan River. Used $1 eclipse glasses over Canon SX40HS DSLR camera to get these shots.
  5. How to ForScan Door Chime Away

    I thought I had this disabled, but lately it's been driving me crazy. I ought to be able to leave my door open without this annoying nonstop chime. A few days ago I hooked up Forescan, went through all the menus but couldn't find it. Is there a directory of Forscan features for Maverick? Does...
  6. PSA: oil change on FX4 Maverick requires skid plate panels removal

    Easy to do with right tools. Drive your Mav up on ramps, take an impact driver with appropriate size sockets and remove skid plate. The first time you may need a breaker since the factory locktited the bolts. Next time will be a breeze.
  7. PSA: oil change on FX4 Maverick requires skid plate panels removal

    I have 17k on my XLT FX4 and have changed oil twice according to this video. Sure enough the 6 or 8 big bolts on the sides are Loctited and difficult the first time you remove them. I oiled them on replacing so now it's much quicker. I bought plastic ramps and use an impact driver so it takes...
  8. Truck Stuck in Deep Sleep Mode

    Today I tried three times resetting the BMS according to the instructions you posted. The battery signal on the dash would not blink like it was supposed to, and I still got the Deep Sleep warning when trying Remote Start. Then I noticed a little X in the upper right corner of the Deep Sleep...
  9. Truck Stuck in Deep Sleep Mode

    Thank you. I may do that as well. Winter is almost over, and I don't like that Ford can track everywhere I drive.
  10. Truck Stuck in Deep Sleep Mode

    Thank you, and thanks for posting instructions. That looks like the answer. I'll do that as soon as I get home. It's getting so there is so much electronics drawing voltage when your vehicle is turned off, I may have to leave the truck on a trickle charger just like I do my motorcycles sitting...
  11. Truck Stuck in Deep Sleep Mode

    I was out of country for 5 weeks while my truck sat. I live in Colorado. I've been back a week now. Every morning when I try to use Remote Start on the Ford Pass app, it tells me the vehicle is in Deep Sleep Mode. Supposedly manually starting is supposed to turn that off, but I'm still getting...
  12. ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

    It's great isn't it? Once I had sport mode, that's the only mode I ever use, unless I'm driving off road or in snow.
  13. Adding a skid plate

    It was hard the first time to remove the Mav skid plate because of the six 13mm bolts that are Locktited in. I lubricated them going back so they come out easy. Now when I do oil changes, I go under the truck with my impact driver and T-27 bit (for 4 screws on front) and 13mm socket (for 6...
  14. FORSCAN QUESTION

    I love how thoughtfully Ford has automated things with the Maverick. One thing that annoys me greatly is if I want to have the key on to listen to the radio or charge a cell phone while camping, the fan has to be running. What were they thinking??? Has anyone figured out how to disable this...
  15. ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

    Auto Start Stop is listed in two places that I've found: the Body Control Module and the IPC Module. You need to disable it in the Body Control Module. This will disable it in all drive modes except Eco Mode. BMS / Auto Start Stop system (disable) This doesn't actually disable it but makes...
  16. Spare Tires & AWD

    I saw that article. What I see under my truck is not just some wires to reroute but a very large connection block the size of a small brick that cannot be moved that I can see. It's on one side up against the frame. The teeth that are towards the front I can see can easily be bent further away...
  17. ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

    Positive. I unlocked it on my XLT so am sure you can on Lariat. I spent 2 seconds Googling and came up with this, which I haven't watched all the way.
  18. ForScan mod - enable all drive modes: eco, sport, mud and snow (confirmed working)

    I was worried about it too. I can verify, ABS braking still works!
  19. Spare Tires & AWD

    NO it will not affect the AWD whatsoever if your spare is the same size as the other 4 tires, and NO you don't want a TPMS in your spare. When you get a flat and put it in the bed of the truck, the dash will warn you every time you start the vehicle that you have zero psi in one tire. You just...
