It appears that my right front shock/strut is leaky. I would like to replace the struts with something better than OEM. My 2022 AWD Maverick is neither lifted nor lowered. I’ve looked on Rock Auto, but I didn’t find any other options.
What better shocks are available for my Maverick?
The truck was at the dealer 3 times total. First to do the brake controller recall. Second to apply the recall programming again. Third to get the module replaced. The third time they had the truck a few days while diagnosing the problem and waiting on the part.
I don't know exactly what part...
UPDATE: I just picked up my Maverick from the dealer this afternoon, and confirmed with a trailer connector tester that the problem is fixed. The service advisor said that they had to replace the "brake relay module" and then program it.
I discovered this tonight. Set the brake controller gain to a value of 4.0 or less and the brake lights function normally. Any value 4.5 or higher and the brake lights stay on without pressing the brake pedal. This is most likely a software problem.
At least for now, I can drive around safely...
The device I used to test this simulated a trailer connection (the Maverick thought a trailer was plugged in). The brake lights (and trailer brakes) came on and stayed on after about 10mph.
I was afraid of this. I borrowed a trailer connector tester from Camping World, and not only do the brake lights come on and stay on at about 15mph, but so do the electric brakes.
So, if I take my camper on a planned trip this weekend, I would be dragging the brakes the whole way to our...
Just a thought, if the brake pedal switch was randomly making contact, we would see cruise control likewise randomly cancelling or not able to be set at all. I’ve experienced none of that.
I agree. It does not sound like a switch problem. It sounds more like a software issue that triggers the brake lights after a certain speed. It’s likely that a lot of people have this problem and just haven’t realized it yet.
I just noticed this same problem on my XL with 4K tow package. I have already had the brake controller recall performed. I cannot confirm if this problem existed before the recall was performed.
I first noticed the problem at night with the third brake light reflecting on the tailgate without my...
