And in my experience you can't rely on acc/ign-only connections to turn off either, at least not immediately. I have gotten to where I turn off my dashcam manually when I am back home because, if it does eventually turn off, it takes a long time (as in hours.) I am connected through the fuse...
In Florida, if you live near water there are black rats that live in the palm trees. Literally tree rats. I had two injector wires chewed through on my Audi TT while I was out of town. People kill snakes, which eat rats. I dunno. Also I have 5 indoor cats here in Vermont and we get the...
Thanks, good information which confirms what I had expected. That fuse box is a tight space to work in and I agree that wires coming off the top rather than the side would help. Still, my camera on fuse 3 does not turn off. I unplugged it at the camera and it stays on for about 5 seconds then...
Thanks to all who replied. If it ever stops raining I'm going out to the truck to do some more testing. If I find anything enlightening I'll report back.
Thanks, I have seen these, but I already had a fuse tap. Also, I was very careful about routing wires through the side pillar per the videos. Other than dropping the original fuse (now lost forever, I'm afraid) the installation was pretty straightforward. Well, that and the power seems to always...
I installed a dashcam (Miofive S1) in my 2025 XLT AWD Hybrid and it works fine with one small problem. I wired it to fuse 20 (unused according to the manual) and it's got power all of the time. I forget to turn the dashcam off most of the time, so I thought I'd use a fuse that only has accessory...
I got my 2025 Hybrid AWD XLT in January, which replaced a 2016 VW Golf Sportwagen. My rate went from $533.55/6 months to $379.68. I asked the agent and he said "newer cars are safer". State Farm, who also do my homeowners (Vermont). I am 71, wife is 65, both with clean records, retired, no...
I was just about to write a review! I installed mine yesterday and like you said, it couldn't be much easier. It came earlier this week and I had been waiting for a break in the weather. The box was damaged (FedEx) and I sent them pictures, but the top itself was fine. All parts included. The...
Thanks, I've actually been around here since I ordered the trucklet in August. Our salesman was Sean Lloyd, but everyone there has been really good. It's fun living in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. We had to call the insurance agent during the closing and he knew Sean's...
And for anyone in the area, the experience with Oliver Ford here was positive. They offered an extended warranty, which I declined with no argument or hard sell. No egregious additional charges and they seem like great folks.
Pictures will come. The blue is really pretty, though. I did go up a pretty steep hill or two on the way home (hard to avoid them here in Vermont) but probably not a real test of the AWD. I need to get it off the plowed and salted paved roads to really tell. It is comfortable and feels...
I picked up our new 2025 Maverick XLT Hybrid AWD in velocity blue from the dealer yesterday. Unfortunately we've had snow and wind and now bitter cold here in Vermont and I just don't want to go outside! All I can do is peer out the window at it and wish it was warmer. Sometimes I miss Florida...
So jealous. Mine (ordered in August) went into production on 11/16 and has been sitting there since. I asked the dealer today and they said "built, not shipped yet" so I wait. I also asked about the tariff situation. The dealer assured me that I will pay the price we agreed on. The tariffs (if...
As a shareholder, I hate that Ford is killing the stock price by not doing things right the first time. The little bit they saved on the initial decision was nothing compared to the fallout from the recall. It looks to me like they abdicated their fiduciary responsibility.
