  1. Video: Hybrid Wiring Harness Failure (No Start / Crank) Repair. Excellent video

    Cudos to the Tech. I really appreciate the Tech putting out the video of his repair. He did a great job and got the customer’s car working again which is way more than Ford is doing. I think the real question is: What is a viable permanent fix? For the Tech’s temporary fix, maybe some...
  2. Really bad in-city mileage.

    I feel my Hybrid has the same issue as OP. Mind you I'm 67 now and my Regen braking is anywhere from 85 to 100. My last gas tank was 28.9 MPG (mileage divided by gallons) and I've been getting 20 MPG in town. Seems to do better with the a/c off and that might be a clue. Of course my Cyber...
  3. Added Small DRL / Turn Signals to XLT

    I get a lot of small items from Aliexpress and for the most part, have had very good luck with the items. Shipping is slow (2-4 weeks) so don't be in a hurry...
  4. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Thanks Eagle11, I think you are right.
  5. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Went to pick up my Maverick Hybrid at the dealer for repairs (2nd time for this issue). It keeps getting a "Shift SYS Fault" that immobilizes the truck for an hour or more. The dealer reset the stored faults, told me it works as designed. (HaHa) When I got in to drive home, the Fault came...
  6. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    So I took my Maverick back to the dealer (Sept 13), they had it for a week and advised that there were "no active faults" and everthing "works as designed" - - come pick it up (Sept 19). Also, to bring it back if it happens again. So, after a brief rant, I got into the Maverick to go home and...
  7. Returned my Maverick. Leaving the Group.

    I feel your pain. My cyber orange XLT Hybrid is looking more and more like a Lemon. I keep getting a "Shift SYS Fault" which immobilizes the truck until it decides it's OK to shift into drive and go. Yesterday I waited 6 hours for it to shift so I could move it out of my driveway into the...
  8. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    Yes, I use the parking brake whenever I park on a hill. My driveway is sloped, so most of the time.
  9. Regrets with your engine choice?

    I've got a Hybrid and can't even get 30 MPG around town. The darn thing keeps locking up with a "Shift SYS Fault" which leaves me stuck until it cools down or just decides to work again. I took it into the dealer (Aug. 18th after 5 failures) and they said it was a loose pin connection in a...
  10. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    Well, the "Shift SYS Fault" is back again. The truck failed 9/1 (2,168 miles), 9/3 (2,196 miles), and 9/5 (2,251 miles). Of course it fails on a Holiday weekend which is even more frustrating. It seems to be heat related (it's been 100 degrees in San Diego). Does anyone in Canada want my...
  11. Added Small DRL / Turn Signals to XLT

    I wanted to put these lights in the center grill piece until I learned you have to take the front facia off to get to the back of the grill. So I put them at the top of the grill where I could run the wires to the front turn signals. They have mounting adhesive on the back that just sticks to...
  12. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    I agree with The Weatherman, the issue with my truck was a loose connection to the GSM (gear shift motor). Once it shifted into Drive, everthing worked until it shifted to Park and then failed to shift out of Park. There was never any "Charging System Errors".
  13. Installed tailgate decal from Vinyl Imagination

    Very nice! Think I'm going to do something similar on my Cyber Orange Mav. It's great to see what everyone is doing, thanks for posting yours.
  14. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    I got my Maverick back from repairs. Here's the report in case anyone else has this issue. I'll update the post if it Fails again.
  15. Shift SYS Fault - Service Required (Hybrid CVT)

    Anyone getting this "Shift SYS Fault" - "Service Required"? (Hybrid CVT) When I turn the gear shift selector to "D", the parking brake comes on (and will not release), the "D" light flashes and the fault warning comes up on the display. Taking the key out and retrying several times doesn't...
  16. ROLA Bed Rack Modified to Fit Maverick

    I finally finished modifying a ROLA #59799 rack (for Toyota Tacoma) to fit my Maverick so I could get my 9’ surfboard safely to the beach. This was not a simple task and took days, not hours to complete but I'm old, retired and work pretty slow. I wanted it to ride low, out of the wind, so I...
  17. Rear LED light bar recommendations?

    Thanks "TRUCKHEF", I was afraid that was going to be the solution. Time to put some cardboard down and crawl under to find the best access point to the harness. Here's a link for the same light strip for about $11 (no warranty). You want the 1.2m for the Maverick. Shipping takes about 2 weeks...
  18. Rear LED light bar recommendations?

    I just tried a light strip but only the run lights worked... No Turn or Brake lights. The light strip worked when jumped from the battery but not through the factory trailer light plug. The trailer light plug shows power with my old 12v test light. Some newer vehicles have a canbus system...
  19. I have a signed P/O can the dealer still mark up?

    Yes, got it and really like it. I also plan to pay off the loan as soon as I get the paper work from Ford. I heard some jokes about the Cyber Orange color looking like school bus yellow and was able to snap this picture - - pretty close until you see the metallic in the sunlight. Ha! It is...
