I stand corrected. One press of the lock on the FOB locks all the doors. The second press makes it beep. The alarm does not seem to set. I double locked it and then reached in an open window and opened the door. I remember that setting off the alarm. It did not.
Tested my XL this morning.
The driver door button locks all the doors when pushed. If the key is in the ignition and you push the door lock button, the horn beeps twice and the doors do not lock.
When locking the truck using the key fob, press once to lock the drivers door. Press twice to lock...
Mostly racks are clamped to the bed rail. Instead, I drilled and rivnutted a hundred dollar steel rack. It can easily be removed but I never do. You can cut it down with a hacksaw before assembly so it is not so high. I used big self tapping screws to hold the sections together. Mine is cut...
Suddenly, after a month of not working, it started working again. No clue why. All I can guess is that there some automatic update fixed it. Never realized how much I like it.
Dan's setup is what I would recommend for long boats. I have mostly the same set up. The bed rack is steel off ebay and cut to match the height of the removable yakima crossbars on the cab. I put j-bars on the roof rack for whitewater boats. When I am not hauling boats the 4 crossbars act as a...
I once tried to run a sawsall, no go. Used it once to charge a laptop. Mostly it goes unused.
I have often thought that there is an opportunity for Ford to offer a big inverter for the Maverick. Even if the truck needs to be idling, it would provide emergency power. But then, that is what "Pro...
When I first wrote this my truck was stuck in a ditch. I was on a forest road, out of cell range and missing my Subaru Forester which never would have gotten stuck. I was using the jack to get some thing solid under the tire for traction. On level ground, the Mav has about 6" of suspension...
I bought an Escape Plugin with the same Atkinson cycle 2.5 Liter engine over electric as my Mav. The exeption is it has a 14 KWHr battery. It sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out the differences. The same deal would apply to the Corsair.
From what I can tell there are not many...
Bought an Escape plugin hybrid. It has the same hybrid as the Maverick with a 14 kwh battery. The electric range is 37 miles. The price was discounted quite a lot to make it cost effective, but I am sure that Ford will offer it for the Maverick eventually.
Be wary of the backup camera. I was backing up in the lumber yard around a box truck. The screen glitched (froze momentarily) without me realizing it and I hit the back corner of the truck with my taillight. It took months before I realized it was the camera and not me.
Checked with the dealer. They said they have to do exactly what Ford tells them for warrantee work. So I get a standard axle, unless Ford steps in.
If Ford is listening then there may be an opportunity to offer the upgraded axle on warrantee service. It may cut down on the repeat warrantee...
I have standard axles on backorder for warrantee work. This is the second set which has gone bad. I'm going to see it they let me upgrade to the Tremor axles and still honor the warrantee. Stay tuned.
The dealer changed all my forscan settings back to factory original while doing one of the recalls. Is there any way to save my forscan configuration? It sucks to have to do this. It has been 2 years since I did the programming and I no longer have forscan on my laptop.
