[UPDATE 3/22/22] Dead Hybrid Maverick at 1 month old after getting "Deep Sleep Mode" messages. [Possibly fixed by software update.]

12.8volts this morning at 9 am. Not ideal after being charged all night. I'll check in a few hours and see what it's doing.

How about the haunted relays, is that an issue with your Mav as well? When you park it, click the lock button on the key fob, I can hear relays randomly clicking throughout the vehicle for 30 mins after it's parked.

Yes, various relays click randomly, my camry hybrid has some odd noises after shut down as well so I didn't think much of it.

Someone mentioned the radio turning on in another vehicle in another thread. when I was doing a lot of work on the truck there would be times the radio would "turn on" but not really... In that the screen would turn on and show the logo but not play music or whatever. Since I was in and out of the vehicle a lot, sometimes having all doors open and closing different ones here and there I just chalked it up to the car not really knowing when I could be getting in to start it.

I may put a camera in the car and see if the radio turns on by itself.

It's the battery cooling system.

My hybrid makes clicking sounds after it's been off for a bit

Yep, it is just the coolant system doing its thing to condition the high voltage battery and other hybrid components. Nothing to worry about.

Just went outside to check on mine, it is officially possessed. Went to start it, and the odometer screen was flashing, there was a grinding noise coming from the brake pedal area (with the car off), the truck wouldn’t start, and the relays were going crazy. I also got zapped 3 times touching the door. At this point, I don’t even feel safe parking it in my driveway in fear it might catch on fire. Uploading a youtube video, will post in a couple mins.

Here is a short video, I was basically demonstrating how the key is no longer responsive, the instrument gauge boots up and flickers without the key in the ignition, etc. The relays weren't clicking that bad in this video but hopefully I'll catch it on video again.

Then what is your purpose on this forum? Lol

 

[Flomounier1]

I'm not expecting anything crazy from a 20k truck, but if you are selling a new product, it is supposed to work no matter how cheap it is.

I don't care what price a thing is... If its not advertised to electrically shock you, it shouldn't!

If you are getting shocked touching the door handle, wouldn't that mean a there is ground issue?

Not the door handle, just the metal on the door itself when I close it. It's like super amplified static electricity. You can sit down in the truck for 2 seconds, get up, close the door and you'll get shocked. You don't even have to rub your feet around or move around to generate it.

keep in mind you are going to get some parasitic loss due to your stereo being connected to the internet/WIFI (should not go down to 2.5V though). I noticed mine (ICE 2.0 EB) giving the deep sleep mode warning when it got super cold out. This was partly due to me only using my maverick to pick up the kids that are 4.5km each way in start and stop traffic. Ended up getting one of those solar chargers and wiring it directly to my battery. No problems since.

I believe it is a much deeper issue. Another user said the dealer found bad solder connections on his wiring harness for the high voltage system. The coldest it's been where I live since I took delivery of my Mav was 40F/ 4C.
