Lengthy update....
@KeinoDoggy Man I was really hoping everything was sorted out and fixed, but I am once again a member of the dead maverick club. However, I have learned a lot.
The guys at the service department really tried to help and unfortunately their fix didn't hold. I have done...
Dealer called and left a voicemail saying they found the loose connection that was causing the issue. I'll poke more when I pick it up this evening, but hopefully this is all buttoned up!
Thanks for everyone's help and input 😊
The harness with the tan latch in the center of your photo? Interestingly enough I noticed that mine is held together with a white zip tie that I don't see on yours. It looked odd enough to where it looked like a repair not by design. Anyone else have a zip tie there? I'll get pictures when I...
It's a brand new escape ford rental, which feels so similar to the maverick on the inside! Technically it's costing me $30 a day but they said it would be refunded if it was a warranty repair. At this point I don't care what it costs, I just couldn't wait 3 months for an appointment...
Update: Service was intrigued and got it worked into the shop. It's in a bay now and they're going to get back on it in the morning.
They had a high ohm reading from the battery in the back to the jump point indicating a poor connection somewhere. I want to say 70ohms? They said it should be...
Yes. He just stopped in and gave me that info. I had no idea there wasn't an alternator, but that makes sense after reading up on how this thing actually works. The initial rep who took my info didn't know the battery was under the rear seat!
I'm in Athens and work in Decatur, so if you see a carbonized gray lariat it's probably me 😊. I've had a lot of service work done on my explorer at Lynn Layton in Decatur and they have been pretty accomodating. I've had nothing but bad experiences at McClary. Woody Anderson is huge and if you...
The snarky dealer also said that warranty work doesn't pay as well and if a tech did only warranty work they would bill 20hrs for 40-50 hours of work, so I'm assuming they prioritize out of warranty work? Doesn't really make sense to me.
I called the local Toyota dealership asking when their...
Thank you for the info!
I've been to every dealership in town starting with one with an unbelievably snarky response when I asked him what would he do if this was his truck - "well I wouldn't have bought it".
I've explained that this thing dies and it's my only vehicle. I just want to get the...
I'm also a member of the dead maverick club. When turning off the truck, everything dies immediately, no maverick animation or anything. Truck will start back up with a booster and work until you power down again.
I am getting 12.7V at the battery under the seat. I'm getting 3-3.8v at the jump...
