So, the fuse tap shares the fuse with the headlight functionality, and you don't lose anything for using the tap in that location. They continue to function normally. It's sort of like adding a fuse (if you look closely, you can see that there are two fuses in the end of the tap). For the USB choice, the first unit I ordered had a switch to control whether or not the ports on the front were powered. The one I ended up installing and share in the earlier part of the video doesn't have a switch on it and is always powered when the truck is powered on. Probably didn't make a huge difference in the long run, as it's unlikely the switch would have ever jostled "off", but I figured fewer possible ways it could stop working without me intervening would be better.

Thank you. Yes, it is installed in the correct orientation. Nearly two years into use at this point, though I’ve recently switched out for a MagSafe adapter that I’ve 3d printed a cradle for and installed in the same space using the same USB ports I installed in this video.

@@chrisdunning6144Do you have any info on the new setup? The wireless charger in the video seems to be unavailable now.

@@chrisdunning6144 Yes, would love to know 2 things - can you link to the magsafe cradle you used to 3dprint? Also, does the USB power adapter you specified allow for fast charging, or would you recommend a modification to the power configuration before I buy the parts - is 15AMP charging possible in this setup?

@@JonathanReidLand I did use the same power adapter featured in the video. Full disclosure: I'm not 100% on if this is giving me the full potential output of MagSafe, but I know that it continues to charge (and climb in charge percentage at a steady rate) while wirelessly connected to CarPlay and running navigation. This is the cradle I designed and printed. You can see from the included picture that I've chosen to cut both the cubby and the liner. This go around I was less concerned with esthetics (though I have a filament I'm thinking of printing in that will more closely match the liner. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6765463/files

@@patrickscardina5440 Sorry to have missed your question. Yes, the current setup is a 3D Printed cradle I designed that holds a MagSafe puck. It's not as seamless and hidden as the original, but the advantages of MagSafe as my go to charging method were worth it. I made a cutout in the cubby and the liner for the cubby and used the same wiring underneath. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6765463

I actually have a wireless airplay adapter I use for that. Mine is the OTTOCAST version. I use a right angle USB cable that I run out of sight behind the dash.

It shouldn’t be responsible for the battery issue. I’ve been running with my setup for about a year and a half with no battery issues. It’s almost certainly coincidental, but I’d check to ensure that the terminal cables are solidly connected on your battery (assuming you disconnected while installing) as a loose terminal cable can sometimes behave the same as a dead battery, and possibly make sure you’ve followed up on the harness recall if you have a hybrid like I do. Were you able to identify any other possible causes?

@@chrisdunning6144 Thank you. I suspect it is also something else. I replaced the battery yesterday and will be testing for a leak this weekend. Checked all other connections including the terminal cables. The battery was tested and definitely dead. I plan to check the amp draw with and without the mod connected to verify and see if any other leaks exist. I have other mods in the car such as the Kia auto dimming mirror and ambient lighting. Those have been in for months but plan to verify those as well. I agree it makes no sense given Fuse 3 is off when the truck is off.

wireless carplay/android auto device from Amazon also, then no need to plug the phone in for anything.

You could almost certainly run a USB make to USB female cable through the armrest and down to the location of the port. they make them specifically with cars in mind. You’d need to make a rough hole in the location where you’d want it, and the trim around the plug would give it a fairly clean look. Search for “male to female usb cable car and boat” on Amazon and look for the length you’d need.

It absolutely would. The charger can charge through a desktop, so the console liner/tray won’t be an issue.

That's a valid question. I don't really like power cables in the cabin of my vehicle (or much of anything else for that matter), as I feel it tends to look a bit cluttered, and often feels to me like it's in the way. This is a solution that allows me to avoid cable mess; sip a bit of power while driving from A to B; and utilize my cubby space for the things it was designed for, but not implemented in my trim level. It also helps that I'm very rarely low enough on battery for a charge in my vehicle to be an urgent situation.

Yes. You'll want two fuses, both 10 AMP. Using the original is just fine. My socket is not mounted to anything on the inside, but it does hover because of the way that I wrapped my USB cord inside of the console, you may want to mount it with 3M mounting tape, though my experience is that it doesn't move around or make noise under the console as is. For the eco-boost, your battery should be under the hood.

Just finished hooking it up! The outlet I bought had two USB sockets, so I may hide my wireless Android Auto dongle in there too. Thanks for a super clear and easy to follow video.

Yes. I have an aftermarket kit, but there’s a part of me that has considered buying the parts necessary for the “on wheel” official Ford cruise control.

@@chrisdunning6144 What's the difference exactly???

@@mikeysfishingfuntime5070 The aftermarket is an additional "paddle" below the turn signal paddle. Takes some wiring in, but doesn't require any messing with FORScan. The official Ford cruise control is a little more involved, the cruise control buttons are all on the face of the wheel, and you need to do some additional poking around in the vehicle's software using FORScan.

@@chrisdunning6144 Do Ford dealerships install these now????

@@mikeysfishingfuntime5070 I think it's a case by case situation. Likely depends on your dealership, but speaking with our local service center when I was in for a recall they said they would have.

I tried both with roughly the same charge speeds on my iPhone. If you’re using an android phone, the QC4 port may deliver faster charging, but the iPhone doesn’t support it, so I just stuck with the QC3 port. I have plans for another accessory that may benefit demo the QC4 port later.

If you have a hybrid, you’ll disconnect under the back seat. The 12v terminals under the hood are actually extensions of this batter, and when it’s disconnected, they are disconnected. If you have the ecoboost, you’ll disconnect under the hood.

@@chrisdunning6144 I didn't know that. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

Anything rated as “PD” or “QC 3” will be sufficient.

I have an alternative to your charger port (since your linked one was sold out) but mine is qc4. Also I ordered the wireless charger from your link but the one received is square. Your video was great and it works kinda. But sometimes it seems to quit charging and sometimes on/off/on/off continually. Moving the phone doesn’t change anything. It’s like it’s just barely got enough power going to it. I tried directly on top before sticking it under the console and similar behavior. I was just wondering if your set up is sometime intermittent?

@@rickyboyd2919 Mine is constant. Couple things I might suggest checking out: Make sure all of your connections are solid. Sometimes the connectors that are provided with these aftermarket vehicle USB plugs are kind of loose or flimsy. Check on the plug end, check on the fuse end. Make sure that your fuse is well seated, too. I'm sorry about the sold-out status and changes on some of these parts. That's one frustrating thing about Amazon product links, you never know if they'll stay available or consistent with what you bought for yourself. I'd be cautious about putting the phone directly on the pad itself, as the manual for my charger was very clear that direct contact could be bad for the QI mechanism in the device being charged. I can't speak for other charging pads like the one in this video, but I have two of this exact pad, and one of them is used to charge through an inch and a half of particle board.

@@chrisdunning6144 Thanks Chris. Mine is constant now too, turns out my phone had an issue. I finally realized that when it wouldn’t charge on a wireless charger in the house. I did a complete shut down and it’s worked consistently ever since. Thanks for the method, process and tool list. I’m using the factory orange rubber insert too.

Mine seems to be holding up fine. If it does at some point, I may opt for 3M mounting tape, but no issues so far.

@@chrisdunning6144 Just picked up my Maverick last night! Any problems with the adhesive in the last two months?

Yes. In the footage in the video I installed it in the other slot. Moved it to slot 3 after the fact. I've just dropped a link to a picture in the video description showing what that looks like.

Do you get a constant charge? Mine is intermittent. Did you pull power from fuse number 3?

Mine is the hybrid 2.5, but the fuse box and wiring I shared for this mod will work on any non-wireless charger equipped Maverick.

Sure! The only downside is the cables being more visible and the USB ports maybe not delivering power enough for the higher speed wireless charging options. I’m a little nit-picky about those details, but would fault anyone for going the other route.

*would not fault Sorry that was a typo.

@@NewbergChurchofChrist thanks for the quick response! I’m the same I can’t sand messy wires all over. I will go your route when I get my maverick but was just curious. Thanks again 👍🏻

Whoops! Didn’t realize I was logged into the wrong account when I replied. 🤣

@@chrisdunning6144 lol I didn’t even notice. One more question I was looking at the charger you linked and in the description pic it looks like the power wire is hardwired right onto the power block instead of having a usb plug. Did yours come like that or does it also have a usb powering cable included?

Do you get a constant charge? Mine is intermittent. Did you pull power from fuse number 3?

@@rickyboyd2919 hey ricky, mine constantly charges with both my iphone and android phones. I pulled power from fuse 3. i do recall the wireless charging pad port being loose with certain usb C cables so i used one with a larger plug sheathe. also i remember installing into the fuse 3 slot was a bit tricky, so maybe try to unplug and replug back in to make sure theres a solid connect. best of luck amigo, i hope it goes well

@@MrKonDumb Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure exactly what’s up with mine. I’ll check the connections.

​@@rickyboyd2919not sure if you figured it out but I would check how snug your connection to the crimp connector is. I had a hard time making sure I could get a tight connection there so I ended up just using a wire nut instead. The positive wire for the USB connector is pretty small.

It's connected to a wireless CarPlay adapter. It came with a 3M adhesive pad that sticks it up underneath there. I've actually got a 90º usb cable running to it now.

Yea you can. They're on the Etsy app

Sorry about that! So, the hybrid battery is big, but I’m not sure it would be useful as a PHEV given its comparative size to actual PHEVs. But that would be a very interesting project, well out of my zone of expertise.

Yes. It will charge through the original rubber liner or most materials up to 15mm thick.
