  1. How to find a good local mechanic that is not a dealer.

    I'm in Southern California (Chatsworth to be more specific) and I'm trying to find a local (non-dealer) mechanic to do my maintenance as well as any repairs on my 2024 Maverick hybrid. I'm getting too old to want to do this stuff myself anymore. It seems that these vehicles are complex enough...
  2. Discount on 2024 Mavericks - good or just okay?

    Went to them before purchasing my 2024 hybrid. They offered me a ridiculously low trade in value for my 2016 Ram. ($10,000 lower than I actually received at another dealer) Walked out immediately. Would not recommend this dealer.
  3. Seatbelt warning display

    Yes, it can be disabled in Forscan. I did this successfully just yesterday on my 2024 Lariat Hybrid. There are many threads on this subject
  4. Update to Battery Saver Mode

    I just had my first battery replacement, under warranty, after owning the vehicle for about 9 months. I got the "battery saver" notification via my Ford Pass app . The battery the dealer replaced my original one was an AGM battery. Interestingly, the Ford technician told me that the new battery...
  5. Rat attack!

    After having a mouse problem in my 2024 Lariat, I started leaving the hood up overnight. This seems to prevent the nesting that I was seeing beforehand. I'm not sure if this is a great solution. But it works for me presently.
  6. Griot's Garage synthetic clay bar

    I used one that was very similar from Mequiars. While it initially worked well, it picked up some tar that hadn't been removed, and became useless after short time. I had to replace it with a real clay bar.
  7. Pre Collision Test Warning

    How did you set the sensitivity to low?
  8. Mice problem in cabin air filter!!!!!

    Difficult to tell exactly how they're getting in. I had a similar problem with mice nesting on top of my engine. My solution was just to leave the hood up every time I parked it. They don't seem to like being exposed to the sky. Hope this helps.
  9. Mouse damage accordian air intake and coolant hose.

    I've been having the same problem with rodents nesting on top of my engine. What worked for me is leaving the hood up overnight. It seems the rodents want a nice enclosed space that seems safe to them. Kind of a pain in the butt, but it seems to have solved the problem.
  10. How to adjust ACC distance from vehicle in front

    On my 2024 Lariat, the control for this is on the left side of the steering wheel where the cruise control controls are. I have one button to control "lane centering" (which is very useful on highway trips) and another button which will cycle thru the "following distance" settings for the...

    Can you provide any more info on exactly what you did?
  13. Pests nesting in the engine compartment

    Anyone find an effective method of keeping pests from nesting in the engine compartment? In my area i have caught rats and mice previously in other vehicles. I think it's also possible that birds may be nesting as well. Getting to be quite a nuisance. and no cats won't work since the coyotes...
  14. Bed and Console plugs not working

    Had the same problem. Took it to the dealer, who couldn't find anything wrong. They did, however point out that there is only power to these sockets when the ignition is on (not sure if the car needs to be running). My truck now has power when ignition is on.
  15. OBD adapter for Forscan

    I'm a newbie so please help with my confusion. I am very interested in obtaining the things I need to use Forscan. I have a 2024 Maverick Hybrid and a Windows 11 laptop to use for this. All of the OBD II devices I see online appear to be very similar making the choice extremely difficult...
