Finally today it warmed up enough to install the wiring for my Dash Cam. Pulled the A Pillar trim to install the two cables and make sure all wiring was behind the Air Bag. I noticed there were two sets of clips on the bottom of the trim. The back one popped right off but I could not get the...

Me. :rolleyes: I had totally forgotten about the BMS reset. Silly me, been wondering why the charging system on my Maverick never seemed to charge the battery past 12.1 / 12.2VDC regardless on how much I drove. A 120 mile round trip, which I expected to fully charge the battery did virtually...

As the title says looking to upgrade my front directionals with LED. The LasFits look to be way too bright in white mode. I don't want to blind people at night and be one of those guys. Question, does anyone know of a LED switchback that is not so bright. Thanx.

This may not be news to some so sorry for being redundant. I knew there were two load ratings for the tire. 104H and 108H. Apparently what I did not know is the fact that the 104H is NOT severe snow service rated. Only the 108H is. The tire store salesman did not know this either so my...

This pertains to the 12V power outlet, formally known as the cigarette lighter port. :crazy: It is documented here as staying on for 90 minutes after the ignition is off give or take with a good SOC on the battery. I decided to power my dash cam from the 12V port to utilize the 90 minutes on...

I have to believe that I am not the only one happy to see this ridiculous "feature" repealed going forward. The A.S.S. on my Maverick quit working months ago. Most likely a combination of the months long cold weather and a battery slowly dying into oblivion.

I have noticed that 11.7V seems to be a trend for low voltage cutoff. Most OBD2 dash cam power supplies use 11.7 as their cutoff and Ford uses it, in my experience, for the battery saver mode in my Maverick. Readings base on a 12V power port volt/usb dongle. Very confusing to me as back in...

I plan on installing a DashCam when the weather warms up a bit. I plan on using Fuse Slot 1 Micro-3 type for the ACC power and Fuse Slot 24 Micro-2 type for the BATT power. These seem to make sense as they are both spares. My question is even though they are both spares they have fuses...

Recently purchased a two channel dash cam. The unit has 3M adhesive mounts for both cameras. My question is, is it advisable to trim the electrostatic film to fit the size of the adhesive or is it more advisable to leave it the original size for better adhesion. Thanx!!

Title says it all, really. In a week I will have had my Mav two years. I waited a year for it. During the wait I wondered if it was worth it to wait this long for any vehicle, but I can say now it was worth every minute. At that time I was hardly the only one waiting this long. It was very much...

Had the rear camera software updated today plus the driver's side seat belt recall done. My initial observations: The screen is definitely brighter. No question about it. Noticed it right off getting into the truck with the FORD emblem splash screen. The brightness adjustment bar in...

A Xmas gift for me & my Maverick. This Shackle Receiver seems to be built very rugged. The receiver is made from one solid block of cold rolled steel. The description says it is galvanized powder coated to which I assume means the receiver was first hot dipped galvanized, then powder coated...

This started about 3 months ago. Over this course of time about 5 or 6 times while trying to play music on my iPhone with CarPay, the music only plays on the phone not on the trucks speakers, necessitating a reboot of the infotainment system. Not a big deal as tech is always buggy but hoping...

Apologies for the click baitish title. Two weeks ago had my battery replaced under warranty. Brand new Ford branded AGM. Since then the productivity screen has been saying either A.S.S is not available because it was too cold or it was charging. Mostly too cold. Yesterday it was in the...

"Confirmed customer complaint of battery warning lights coming on. Tested vehicle battery with rotunda battery tester and got DTC code 9C05LL2 and Aces code FE0AU. Replace battery. Replaced battery and no warning lights came on. Vehicle now better." Funny thing is only got the warning...

Those of you that have replaced your front side marker bulbs with LasFit LED's did you use white or amber? Thanx.

On the lift today finally getting the oil changed after 1672 miles. Looking underneath the truck I notice the weld where the exhaust pipe is welded to the muffler is leaking. Started it up to confirm. Yep, bad weld. :confused: Gonna do the recall and have the dealer look at the exhaust...

I hate spending money. I am cheapish as hell. OK, got that out of the way right off. :ROFLMAO: Prolly the one thing and really only thing that has bugged me about my Maverick has been the low RPM vibration we have noticed with the truck. Cruising around 30 or so there are times the RPM...

I have an Akaso camera I use as a dash cam and it works great. It's not really intended to use as one but it does have car mode and upside mode but no GPS, so some thought was given. I am really reluctant to try and snake the usb cable up to it disturbing things around the dash and A pillar...

I've been seeing instances with paint repair not matching the factory paint. Not just Ford either. I ordered some touchup paint to have on hand just in case for my Maverick. Tested it in an inconspicuous spot and it is not even close. A friend got their Explorer repaired where a branch took...
