Hey Rich make sure to check out the main hot cable that bolts to the left side of the fuse box on the spot where you hook your jump box. I have had 2 Mavericks with your issue and I wiggled that cable and the vehicle started. Come to find out on the cable it's not crimped to the end. Ford decided to use some kind of glue to hold it together instead of a crimped end. I found it by removing the insulation at the end and couldn't believe it was designed like that. If that cable gets moved just to the right spot you'll have battery power and then after the customer leaves it could have the same issue. Might not be the issue on the car you are working on but I thought maybe good to know. Hopefully they changed the design by now. Have a great day sir.

After that the truck did not start again no ignition total loss of power. Got it towed to the ford dealer and with 39,000 miles on it they charged me $3,500 to get it fixed. So I was this is unacceptable there should be a recall for this type of problem it so unsafe why am I being charged so I had to call ford directly to and they where sorry that happened to you we understand what you had to go through but final decision is the dealer’s.

The plastic should be backlite it will with stand high heat loads. Some charging disconnect were plastic and melted because of continuous high amperage loads The fix was bakelite.

looks like the same problem in the early 90's with corrosion in the fuse box, caused all types of problems, no start, hesitation, interior gauges faults, lighting faults. the fix was replace the fuse box but that meant that you also have to replace the harness molded into the box. had one come in with this problem, he asked to have the box replaced with a used one, did the job , all is fine. next customer comes in with lighting issues, fuse box again. i took some parts from the harness/fuse box and swapped to the original harness. took probable 2 hours as i am not a electronics person. it worked... but if you have to deal with these engineers that do not take into account the real world problems from environment, temperature, humidity, road conditions, customer habits (are you a rabbit or a snail), just my thoughts

What I don't get is: 1) If you buff it to bare metal, trying to get a clean contact, the bare will corrode unless you paint/varnish over everything. 2) If you put non-ox between the contacts, won't the non-ox itself interfere with the intimate connection? In the Air Force, We used to pack landing gear switches (subject to rain/snow/ice/dirt intrusion) with potting grease. I always wondered if the grease would interfere with proper make/break of the contacts. Is the fuzz "tin whiskers"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisker_(metallurgy)

@spelunkerd

Жыл бұрын

Those are good questions, and there are even debates within the industry about the use of dielectric grease. Suffice to say that you want a tight enough connection so that there is no space for water (and oxygen) to penetrate between the two surfaces. My experience is that it would be rare to have a poor connection when small quantities of dielectric grease are added before tightening down the bolt, and after that the chance of water penetration by surface tension is a lot lower. So you end up with a two step process, first clean (+/- cleaner), then add dielectric grease and tighten down. I think the tin whisker issue is more to do with microscopic short circuits on a board rather than the kind of high resistance open seen here. That excellent wiki reference describes the difference between dendritic formations and whiskers. The latter grows at right angles to the board, bridging gaps with conductive metal.

These vehicles are NOT gonna like the salt and brine we have in the North.

All new vehicles should be sent through 2 Illinois winter's before production. Y'all use more salt in the winter than the other 49 states combined!

Damn that sucks. For one I live in southern Georgia I can’t even buy a maverick hybrid. I have been looking. Guess I’ll just get a stupid Camry

Hey great vids! Based on your experience, could the Maverick Hybrid be converted to plug in hybrid? And would it be difficult do you think?

Oh lol I have no idea

Ford has really gone down hill, what a joke. The CEO should cut his $20 million dollar salary and maybe they could put this insulation in.🤨

This is very disturbing making me wish. I would have bought the warranty.

I'm looking forward to all electric vehicles where these kind of connections are everywhere. #sarcasm

Dielectric grease would help keep moisture out but it doesn't help with connection it doesn't promote connectivity it's just an insulator
