Still just %--.
Another thing. About two months ago I was notified of the successful install of the parking pawl recall fix. Noticed no change and trusted all was ok. Just in the last week, I noticed that when I shut down, the parking brake is turned on automatically. Was that the fix?
Chops, I didn't do anything like that video suggested. I noticed the indicator on the dash. I didn't know what it meant, so I looked it up in the manual. That lead me to the mud on the sensors. I learned later that the sensors on the side mirrors have nothing to do with the Blind Spot...
An update: I had no response on this forum, so I used AI. It told me to wash under the rear bumper. Did not solve it. I did the reset by locking the truck and leave it parked overnight. No luck. Finally, I went into the features menu and I found the BLIS turned off. I know I didn't turn it...
A couple of days ago, I drove on a muddy dirt road. Truck had mud all over it, including the sensors under the side-view mirrors. The Blind Spot Information Indicator Icon on the dash turned on. Next day, I thoroughly washed the truck paying close attention to those sensors and the sensors in...
I just looked at the Ford app. The app shows that the update was installed at 01:00 this morning. My truck has 5,700 miles on it. I had an oil change at about 1,500 miles. The app shows 96% oil life. If I recall correctly, a few weeks ago it said oil life was in the 30+ percent range. Fuel...
First truck was a beat-up, half-ton Chevy I bought at a city auction for $300. Drove home in 2nd gear and shut it off at red lights. Had to fix the clutch. Sold it years later for $500. In 1999 I bought a slightly used '97 Ranger for 99% commuting and 1% hauling. Useful for taking kid...
I had different oddities after the OTA update at 1:00 AM on 9/25. When I started the truck, there was static coming from the radio. The tuning had been changed to a non-station. Then I noted that my phone was not connecting. I had to "add" my phone back.
The "keep your hands on the wheel" message is very annoying even when you have your hands firmly gripping the wheel at 10 and 2; however, a pinky at the bottom of the wheel and an occasional twitch will avoid the message. Seems to me that if the cameras can detect a straight road, an input on...
Exactly. The photo looks much bluer in the photo and grayer in real life. It does look bluer on a bright, sunny day, but never as blue as it does in photos. I bought my truck at an out-of-town dealership and they had it parked right outside the showroom when I arrived to take delivery. I...
The way to properly handle a user manual (soft copy) is to write a base manual to cover all the features and functions found on all the models and trims. Then you write a set of instructions for each feature/function that is dependent upon model/trim/installed options. Then instead of a single...
Is this just a limitation of the downloaded PDF? I didn't check the in-truck electronic version. The legend is labeled A through I, but the picture is not labeled.
So, you figure out the panel in question in this thread falls under 'G' so you go to page 321 and none of the buttons other...
Prior to Adaptive Cruise Control, if you wanted to slow down, you put your foot on the brake pedal and the switch there turned on the brake lights. In my prior hybrid, the regen did most of the braking until almost stopped, but the switch controlled the brake lights. If you downshifted, then...
According to what I can find, the Maverick, when operating with Adaptive Cruise Control on, only turns on the brake lights when mechanical breaking is required. If the slowdown is achieved using regenerative braking only, there are no brake lights. An earlier warning to following drivers could...
I'm talking about the Power Gauge that can be configured on the left side of the instrument cluster. You can easily see how much you are charging or how much power you are consuming, but you don't know if it is electric power or gasoline power. My engine icon changes from white to brighter...
I find the Power Gauge useful to help me understand when my Maverick is charging vs. using power, but the slight change in the intensity of the engine icon at the top of the Power Gauge is not a very good indicator of whether the ICE is running or not. Maybe I am spoiled by the quiet running of...
Same issue. I installed a Meross controller on my garage-door opener. Now I use Alexa in my Lariat to open and close with verbal commands. Only issue is that it sometimes takes a few extra seconds for the connectivity to engage when I back out of the garage. Additional benefit is that I can...
Once I locked in on the 2025 Lariat hybrid, I used the inventory tool on ford.com almost daily looking for the color I wanted, plus 4K tow. Didn't want black appearance, but other options would be acceptable. I used the 500-mile radius. Often the trucks were sold as soon as they were...
