2026 Maverick Windows Up/Down with FOB

[MakinDoForNow]

I tried it again and mine is the same. You need to hold the switch for the window to fully raise.


I'll give this a shot tonight and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the reminder to back everything up!

It's been posted that the 2026 may need WWH-OBD compatible scanners to see some of the info that prior years didn't need.

I enabled all of the parameters in the BCM but I cannot roll down the windows using the FOB. Two unlock presses and hold like I saw in some videos didn't work. Must have been something removed.
I wonder if I can find a door switch pack from a 2025 if I can get it working

Usually auto manufacturers add new tech driven bells and whistles.... to hook buyers into upgrading, not take them away. Sure... I can see the nickles and dimes in production costs, but man, it doesnt bode well for brand/model loyalty or future repeat sales. Especially in the upper trim levels like Lariat> and (not to mention) the current customer higher price adjustment concerns since the Maverick model inception announcement. Also was supprised that the Mav Lariat trim didnt include power pass seat as well.

Besides, material cost of added conveniences are also typically weighed out by production cost to install "other" components in some cases too (part availabilty, scheduling, training, and quality control). In other words, even though 'some' savings on parts, still might lead to higher end production costs and delays (of course during "normal" times like no strikes or epidemics).

Most likely due to the influence of Tarrifs IMO.... But, other manufacturers (who import cars/parts/supplies) have gambled by keeping their prices between model years stable and relied more on repeat sales for future revenue increases which might payoff since SCOTUS put the kiboch on the stupid tarrifs we the consumer end up paying.... still waiting on the free eggs and under $2 gas!. BTW....not holding my breath either...

Hmmm... wonder..... if theres a any tarrifs on imported orange dye.

Fortunately, they haven't eliminated the wheels for a big cost save.

As Lee Corso said, "Not so fast, my friend…!!".

Spare tires are no longer 100% common -- if they are there, they reduce the size to the minimum that will work and not destroy the gear etc from a slight offset to differing rotational diameters over a reasonable in-use period. Engineers & their PMPs & our EPA. LOL

They Know exactly whaddup-- might not agree, -they don't pay the bills…"everybody knows" the spare tire---other than some fleet cases and commercial (see fleet options sheets) is not a reason to not buy the vehicle…

I'm not gonna comment on the orange man impact. But I can think a little bit like a Brand Manager from previous life. I am in agreement. The LARIAT is not quite as luxurious as I would want it with accessories, passenger seat, home link there are a few other things where they cheeped out, but not consistently.

If I was speculating as a supply chain and capacity grow, and they have to take on Toyota and less concerned about bumping up to the price of a Honda Ridgeline, which, although it's bigger is by every dimension a cushier more comfortable unibody truck--could argue about Ridge capability relative to the Maverick bet that's in Ford forefront thinking...

They would be considering new upscale Mav Trim "King"(Prince? LOL) whatever the heck it is that the most ridiculous kitted out F150s do… add all of the toys and additional sound deading-- fuel bias and test with 92 octane (cheap just software and reg compliance--more HP to tout!) and find a way to integrated on the current production line without impacting the costs of the other vehicles significantly & putting all ++ in the additional margin for the fanciest trucklets.…

The minor drama is probably internal because whoever Manages the Ranger and F150 will be dead set against this internally…. But when there's competition on the horizon... an over the top MavV= AWD hybrid might sell well in SoCal, etc.... even if it's expensive relative to other... might not do so well here in Tennessee or Texas where "Bubba trucks" are a thing and fuel is 40% off relative to Cali but lower trim Mavs are gaining here per my Dealer ...

I'm of the opinion that the spare tire delete has been based more on weight reduction to improve the CAFE numbers than cost savings.
That, and the fact that fewer people these days could successfully change a tire in their life depended on it.
Tires have also improved considerably, and often can be filled and limped far enough to obviate swapping in the spare.
Myself, I drive places where humans are few and far between and cell signals don't exist, so a spare is a good thing to have, and I've got one in the Mav.

It's not an either/or, but a "both."

First that goes.... is the fix-flat-kit! The extra 60lbs and cost for spare aint enough deterent for "Found On the Road Dead" situations due to a flat that cant be gooped back to life... not to mention, most tire shops getting a little PO'd when ckeaning up the mess swapping out new tread.

@Ecorydr
A plug kit is a lot better alternative, and will fix any flat that the goop will.
I wouldn't use the goop either.
A good reason NOT to use the goop is that they have a great track record of ruining your TPMS sensor in the tire, so on top of the $10 - $20 patch job, add a Benjamin to the tire repair cost.

After offroad jeeping for a number of years, always carry a cheapo set of rope and insert tool under the seat storage.

Had a '89 full size Bronco that tires acted like magnets, would catch every nail! Must of had 6 plugs in one tire once!

Never really researched, since I've always had a spare to swap in, and get the flat tire fixed with patch/plug, if location allows them to.

I've always considered the patch/plug better (maybe it's not) - do you know if they can they ream out a plug to put back the combo?
I guess a drill bit can work wonders - just concerns me they'd go right beside it and now double plug in place.

 

[Ecorydr]

Patch plug is the recommended tire fix if not in sidewall or to close to tread edges. However, getting off the trail or side of road "emergency" type fix is what the rope and insert tool are good at. Some insert tool kits have a hole reamer included as well.

Have had tires with rope fix last years till new tire replacement made.

I always considered the patch with plug just to guarantee that the patch is centered pretty much where the actual hole is in tire so the patch is centered as much as it can be. Plus patch can be held tight as possible until air is inserted. Nevertheless I haven't researched the patch/plug either.

FWIW I agree 100%. As well as cost CAFE (used to?) rule too...and missed CAFE is def a cost ask Stelantis(spell?)...
Tires are much better. A lot better. Think about the choices between bias ply, bias belted, and those fancy radials IRRC… Dad had some Firestone 500 LOL. Yeah everybody got it figured out eventually other than inexpensive Chinese trailer tires.
And if you drive in a big city, or many places, a spare tire is sort of worthless you're just going to sacrifice your wheel and pay for it rather than die. Long ranges of Jersey barriers on each side tight with no place to stop at all if you have a flat cross bridges long stretches of road construction…
No spare is a gamble, but it's not crazy maybe unwise but not crazy

 

[MaverickDragon]

Very different conditions out west where I drive, where a spare or a plug could be (relatively) safely swapped or installed. That said, I've had a lot more tires with slow leaks that I could just fill/drive/fill/drive/repeat than I've ever had to plug or switch to a spare.
