Maverick Electrical Issue

[Hippestgoldfish]

2023 Maverick XLT hybrid 360 with only 6800 miles. Dash board just lit up with errors. See vid below. Check engine, AdvanceTrac, Pedestrian alert, etc. worst possible time too. Really needed this for truck stuff this weekend (setting up my wife’s/our baby shower), but now afraid to use it. I did love the car, but now dissatisfied with this experience so early in the life of the car…. Does anyone know of any reason/possible fix for this? Earliest I can drop my car is on Tuesday.

You may have a bad cel in your 12v battery. Is the Tranny unmovable in park and Mav won’t start either? Went through this and solution was a tow to dealer and replace battery not covered under warranty as dealer claimed battery damaged by after market accessory. Have any of those? Sorry you’re going through this.

The car still starts and drives, I just don’t want to test out for how long

Do you have a DVOM and can you measure battery voltages under passenger rear seat at rest and with engine on?

One of the problems with all the electronics, computers, sensors, safety equipment on cars today. Way too many things to go wrong.

I have a multimeter, but do not have any experience really with that kind of stuff. More of a carpenter than an electrician.

Set it to DC Voltage and put the red probe on the Battery+ terminal and black probe on Battery- terminal.

Hey there. I can look into your Maverick’s concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info?

A wild guess could be the camera in the warning system up front being as it is faulting on pedestrians.

 

[Hippestgoldfish]

The pedestrian thing is the fake engine noise from what I recall

I might be having electrical issues. . . past tense. . . something definitely went wrong. . . can’t drive it. Waiting on Ford.

Dang where was the fuse when you really needed it to work

That must have required a lot of current, so seriously where was the fuse. I can't wait to near what the dealer says about this Chernobyl event

Yeah, that's a bit of a electrical issue. Any mods? I had a 65' Rambler that I and a freind installed a Kraco AM/FM tape deck in. Had the bright idea to use a coat hanger for an antenna and stuff it under the dash. Didn't end well.

Hope you have a good (or the best) outcome possible and I'm glad no one was injured.
