Problem overview

Some Ford Maverick owners report experiencing starting issues, often attributed to a weak battery that may produce a clicking noise when attempting to start the vehicle. These owners have found that even after replacing the starter due to a possible internal short, the engine may still fail to start if the starter itself is faulty. Additionally, some 2022 Ford Maverick models have been reported to suffer from electrical problems that could impact the starting system. Proper diagnosis is critical, as resolving no-start issues may involve replacing the alternator, starter, or battery, which can lead to varying repair costs. Furthermore, some owners have noted that Ford may be addressing specific issues through software updates, making it advisable to check for any pending updates that could help resolve their starting problems.
