  1. TSB – 24-2317: 2022-2024 Ford Maverick Pickups May Rattle Over Rough Roads

    The "rattle" TSB was applied to my '23 Hybrid. Did not solve the deep dash rattle. The offered (under warranty) to remove the dash to investigate, but I declined as they'd have another 3 or 4 business days, and my experience with dash removal is that it creates more issues than it solves. Of...
  2. 22-24 XLT Audio Software updates?

    Oh, I've only used the one flash drive. As it was not consistent glitching, I've assumed the head unit was at fault. I am going to write down which songs glitch to see if there is a pattern related to codec, as the stick has a mix of WAV, MP3 and AAC files.
  3. Problem report. Shuddering when braking.

    I have noticed some braking oopsies where one of the front wheels has slightly less traction than the other; gravel, dip pothole... The regen and friction braking strategy seems to be momentarily confused and there is some shudder before coming to a stop. In one pothole case, there was a slight...
  4. Wired Android Auto for maps and bluetooth from another phone for audio.

    On my '23 I don't use AA, as it FORCES the audio through the Maverick speakers. I want to have navigation show up on the screen, but audio through BT earphones (which aren't occluding the ear canal).
  5. 22-24 XLT Audio Software updates?

    Sigh...getting REALLY annoyed by the random audio skipping on USB playlists....
  6. Deer Strike

    Did they provide an itemized estimate before totaling? Just curious what the repair costs would have been, per item
  7. 22-24 XLT Audio Software updates?

    Anything more current than G2.5_R25074B?
  8. Ford: Here's How Long We Torture Test Our Trucks Before We Hand You the Keys

    That being said, my Mav is the tightest vehicle I've ever had (all Fords since 1996). Every door seam perfectly spaced and nary a squeak or a rattle. WHUT!!!!! ?
  9. Is this how everybody's passenger wiper rests.

    On another odd behavior from the wipers, when using the intermittent mode, mine take the swipe, then returns to a resting position for a fraction of second, them moves down again an inch or so. Not to the park position, but a bit higher. ANyone else seen that double-action at the end of the a...
  10. Backup camera quality sux on 2023 XLT. Not related to recall

    Would also be curious if anyone has discovered a camera with an identical field of view and aspect (required for the guidelines to be accurate) but better dynamic range. Not sure anything higher res will work, as the Sync 2.5 head units in the XL/XLT 2002~2024 are apprently right at the edge of...
  11. HYBRID 12V Battery Mystery SOLVED

    Yep, published LED lamp assembly life is usually a farce; given the cumulative derating of the LED's in harsh environments and high current designs, and the likelihood of individual LED or driver failure, I'd run these VERY spendy, basically unserviceable headlamps as little as possible...
  12. First Maverick Wreck (photo) and Trouble Codes

    I believe it's in the passenger fender well behind the well liner? And not very accurate (too close to the road surface temp, I think), so no big loss! :crackup:
  13. Bad Sway Bar Links At 13K Miles?

    At 37k mi, I need to get mine into Ford to look at dash rattles, and a soft but discernible clunk/rumble from the front suspension. Also some vibration at speed, which I might suspect are CV joints. I have the "gold" extended warranty as I bought it as "certified".
  14. Testing for parasitic draw, particularly overnight or intermittent?

    I encountered that Ford ***holerly when I modified my cig lighter outlet for constant power. I imagine a handy DIY'er could build an umbilical to jump 12v to the fuse block, either from the mating contact on the receiving box, or directly from the battery. There's also nothing preventing one...
  15. Testing for parasitic draw, particularly overnight or intermittent?

    If you own a logging DVM, that can be connected to a PC app, you can capture long term, overnight draws. I have a Picoscope which is good for that.
  16. Testing for parasitic draw, particularly overnight or intermittent?

    Intermittent draws are very tedious to catch and then locate the offender. Predicable draws; constant or at specific events; key-on, xx minutes after key-off, are easier as you can repeat conditions. As for actual troubleshooting, a DVM that reads DC millivolts for drops across fuses, a DC...
  17. Ecoboost AWD vs AWD Hybrid MPG is closer than you think

    Uh, he IS an engineer, an automotive engineer to boot, and from what I can tell a very GOOD one....
  18. Definitive EQ fix in the lariat with a B&O system?

    Yes, you can remove EQ (FLAT) which I did on my XLT, or a few other settings re: speaker locations and configs, but otherwise no useful EQ manipulation.
