"Carrying a li-ion jumper, even a small one, is probably a wise investment. Still seems a bit silly, but being stranded is worse." So True! Lives up to the name: F.O.R.D. - Fix Or Repair Daily.
Thanks for the good suggestions. I did not buy the 2022 Ford Maverick for a project car. I do not want to open the hood. I bought it to run. Hopefully, the Ford Service Team will apply procedures such as you suggested, and "fix the problem". When I bought "Ford" (fix or repair daily), I crossed...
Oddzball, what was the outcome?
I am experiencing the mysterious DEAD MAVERICK problem and have been watching your post to see if Ford Corporate did anything more than recommend another dealer?
Was your DEAD MAVERICK problem solved? If so, how?
Thank you.
Day 4 - Ford Service Update, Gullo Ford, Conroe, TX. Service Advisor, Dean Wachner, called today to let me know that they are perplexed and continuing to research the problem, They have opened a ticket with Ford for assistance. Battery, Alternator, and everything checks ok, but 12V battery is...
It named itself: DEAD MAVERICK!
Out of the blue electrical short, dead battery? It is on Day 3 at the Dealer, no updates:

You are a very patient man. Did you put the charger on the battery under the back seat?
I did not buy a car to have to put it on a trickle charger every night! Ford and I may be going to war if they do not solve and remedy this problem.
Yes! I have been living in denial for the past 5 months, thinking, "not me". Like Powerstroke46 said, I joined the DEAD MAVERICK HYBRID CLUB this week!
Repair Day #2 - no word from Dealer Service Dept.
That is a great point and you are right! I am a shade tree mechanic, but cannot figure out the hybrid to save my life. When my Maverick Hybrid died, the Roadside Assistance jumped it under the hood at a relay box. The jump did not start the gasoline engine, it just turned on the "dead" electric...

Cheap plastic set on Amazon - plastic never rusts! Comes with two (2) covers to protect both ends of the receiver bar. Keeps out water, dirt, and rocks. They are plain and ugly, so maybe no one will steal them.
Hybrid Lariat - 5 months and 4500 miles of flawless performance. No "Deep Sleep" messages or any type of warnings. Yesterday, I drove 10 miles, parked for 15 minutes, got back in it and it was as dead as a door nail. No recognition of the keyless fob and no reaction to door code. I put a new...
If the dealer had ADOSPEED's instructions, they could also do it in 2.5 hours! https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/diy-tow-hitch-installation.10748/

Attached is a picture of the Ford plug, with slots to fit into the receiver bar. A picture of the Curt regular plug is also attached for comparison. I may try to order the Ford harness, using my Ford Pass Points. I assume that it will need the same modifications that you did to the Curt...
"The Beat Goes On" That is good news, except the axle leak, but I hope that your Mav keeps performing past the warranty period. Thank you for the upgrade details.
You had questioned wiring the module into the 12V accessory supply in the bed. It sounded like a good idea, and much easier than going to the battery. What changed your mind?
