Battery Issue?

[BlueSpec1]

I had pulled Micro3 Fuse 11/12 for the TCU on Jan 18, 2024 to see if I noticed anything with 12v battery voltage levels..
Checked Maverick's FordPass just now, it shows: Updated on Jan 17, 2024

Yep, mine enters deep sleep every few days. It sleeps in a relatively warm garage every night. Same message advising me to go for a longer drive. When I do, the message goes away for a couple days. I’m assuming the battery will need to be replaced. It’s a 24 Lariat hybrid and only has 600 miles on it.
always starts, but still enters deep sleep way to often.

Yes I am sure as the cloud is the one who told the mechanic. Not the other way around. The information is stored in the Ford Cloud. That is how the mechanic knew. The point is, I didn't know ALL information went to the cloud, like how much gas I have in the tank at any giving time, the date I installed the amplifier, etc. The person on the phone told me exactly how much gas I had in my truck right while I was talking to them.

How did your truck tell the cloud about installed equipment? Is there a camera recording wiring installation

I had a similar situation, '22 Hybrid XLT, started getting the deep sleep message more frequently. Dealer replaced the battery under warranty 2 months ago, havent had a single message since.

You should never post your VIN in a public online forum. Also, Ford may not see it unless it's sent privately.

You should Edit & delete the VIN from your post and send the VIN in a private DirectMessage. Go to Ford's profile and click on Start Conversation.

Get paranoid much?
The VIN is visible by looking at the windshield. And your plates are visible and photographed every day. 🥱

Thanks, I was wondering the same.

I give up. I can't make someone see the answer.

I'm sorry that I can't comprehend this analogy. My truck didn't tell Ford that I have an amp but your truck did. Sniches get stitches

It’s not being paranoid it’s just being prudent. I think there is a difference between posting a VIN or tag number on the internet as opposed to having it located on your vehicle. Hundreds and maybe thousands of eyes looks at this forum and who knows what else.

I have had NO. problems since removing the ford pass app! And my truck doesn’t wirrrr, click or buzz when I walk by since I did it. Yes I miss the features on the app but I don’t miss all the stuff with the deep sleep. Especially the no interior lights

How long ago did you disable the app? I've had the deep sleep issue on both my Corsair and Maverick. I signed out of the app for both vehicle several days ago to see if that helps.

I removed the app 6—8 months ago. One of the techs at my dealer whispered it to me after they could find no issues with their diagnostics work up! I’m doing ok without it.

Are you sure they didn't know this because the tech saw it when you took it in for the deep sleep issue and documented it?

I don't doubt the battery business at all. Got my '24 Lariat AWD last month and within 2 days of sitting in the garage the battery was dead. Having gone through a nightmare of electronic issues with a '22 Explorer, I put the Mav on trickle charge and turned off the truck's wifi, connectivity, auto updating, FordPass connect, Phone connect, etc. Everything that looked, sounded or smelled like connectivity got shut off. The truck battery power level hasn't dropped a bit since. Now Ford is trying to sell me subscriptions for connected services that require Sync4. My Mav has Sync3. They may know everything I'm doing, but they don't know what they're doing.
