  1. Deep Sleep temporary fix using trickle charger

    Here is my solution. I installed it many months ago and I use it almost every night to make sure when I come out to use my truck, the battery will be fully charged. I have had 4-5 times when the battery was completely dead. I installed a port in the plastic panel that shows the trim level...
  2. Mavericks have a Modem to stay connected to Ford, Who's paying for the Network connection ?

    Pull fuse 11 and that will disable all of the ford connect features. I pulled mine months ago and haven't noticed any thing adverse except Ford Pass app can no longer connect to truck. If you like being able to use app to connect to truck, then leave it alone. But I got tired of the battery...
  3. I lucked out with a Tyger cover

    I got the exact same rollup cover from Amazon. I bought it to cover something that I did not want to get wet on a trip halfway across the country. Thought I would remove it after the trip but found that when rolled up, it is really out of the way. So, it has been on the truck ever since. I...
  4. Prospective buyer, lowdown on E-CVT

    Similar in that they do not use a belt and pullies! I have a Honda Accord Hybrid and Ford Maverick Hybrid and they operate very similar. The electric motor mostly does the job of driving the front wheels. The engine mainly provides the electricity for the electric motor. In both, the engine...
  5. Prospective buyer, lowdown on E-CVT

    The maverick is not really a CVT as it does not have a belt or pullies. The CVT had a metal belt that would transfer power though two pullies that would change diameters thus changing the final drive ratio. This system had reliability problems but the Maverick does not use this system. the...
  6. Speakers replacement worth it?

    I replaced the front speakers with a pair of component Focal speakers, a front channel amp and a powered sub. Huge difference! Did nothing to rear speakers as I keep them turn down anyway. I posted the details on forum.
  7. Soft rollup tonneau cover recommendations?

    I am real happy with this one. Very reasonable price but it is a vinyl roll up. Tyger Auto T1 Soft Roll-up Truck... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1VXS799?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
  8. Aftermarket Axles: Show your interest!

    I am a bit shocked that this is even a problem! CV joints have been around for a long time and I can't believe that Ford or the supplier cannot produce a reliable axle. I have owned many front wheel drive cars and have rebuild or changed CV joints many times, but that was over 20 years ago with...
  9. 2022 maverick hybrid, battery recall

    I still had battery issues after the battery harness recall was done. I hate dealing with the dealer so never went to them about battery issue. They can never do anything in a time frame that I think is appropriate. The airbag recall is about a 2 hour job but I had to leave it all day even...
  10. Forscan mods impacted by vehicle updates?

    I added the Adaptive cruise control (ACC) to my 22 XLT. Recently had the rear taillight recall done and there is a change in the body control module (BCM) for that recall. I had one change in the BCM for ACC that was reset to factory setting and I had to change it back for my ACC. But nothing...
  11. Tips or tricks to replace the hybrid 12v battery

    I don't think I even removed it. If I did remove it, maybe with pair of needle nose pliers'. Heavy battery squished It out of the way. I think I placed it slightly to one side so it would not be between the bolt and the battery. It was maybe 3/4 inch square and about 1/2 inch thick. It was...
  12. Tips or tricks to replace the hybrid 12v battery

    I replaced with the AC Delco AGM. I did not remove the battery hold down clamp. I thought it would be too difficult to get back in with the limited space. The problem is getting battery under the hold down clamp. if you just drop it in, the battery will be on top of the clamp. I used a...
  13. Replacement battery to solve deep sleep problem?

    I got AC Delco AGM battery. Perfect fit. No problem with deep sleep since.
  14. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    Anyone know how to disable the annoying "KEEP HANDS ON STEERING WHEELS" message? I always keep at least one hand on wheel when cruising down the highway, but unless I have a death grip on wheel, I get that message constantly. Very annoying!
  15. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    I did mine using the stock XLT grill. Works fine that way. I was really careful with the cutting of the grill to make sure the cover fit snugly. I cut the hole undersized and using a Dremil tool with sanding drum, snuck up on the fit. The cover has 2 tabs extending from the bottom that I...
  16. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    Had the recent recall updates done. The one for the taillight/brake light and the engine failure fire. Both software updates. I was concerned that the updates would mess up my ACC programing. There is one setting in the body control module to get ACC working. The taillight update was in...
  17. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    Another update. A little over a week ago I replaced all of the wiring from the fuse panel to the CCM and all the way up to the IPMA in hopes it would alleviate the heat related issues of CCM going offline. I used good quality 18ga wire for all connections. All connections were soldered to...
  18. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    Are those the pins that go into the IPMA plug? If so, yes I do have a couple left. I think 5 came in the pack and I only used 2.
  19. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    It did not look like there was any place to mount that bracket in the space below the bumper. Behind the grill is just the shutters and behind that, a heat exchanger. Here is a pic. Look at all of the bugs from the road trip. Mostly where they broke out the shutters for that recall. Looks...
  20. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    I will look at that. wouldn't do it to mine since I already cut a hole in grill but someone else might like to know.
