You did a nice job explaining everything to us.

[@fredsgarage1925]

Thank you, you have a great day

[@arturogomez9473]

Great informative video. Made it easy for everyone.

[@fredsgarage1925]

Thanks, my videos are long but I don’t like skipping things. Hey, have a great day.

[@richardcline9972]

Great video

[@fredsgarage1925]

Thanks, I’m so glad that I changed it out. My kids use it every day.. now someone a few comments back told me that this amazon plug will plug into the socket connection, it would make the wiring easier, but I did not personally use it. If you do let me know how it works out. Thanks amzn.to/3XkSeU0

[@philb9550]

great video, keep em coming!

[@fredsgarage1925]

Thanks, they will I plan on 1-2 a week between the Maverick and the Bronco. If you have any video ideas let me know. Also f you haven’t subscribed please consider. And you have a great day.

[@rickslick75]

Great Vid! Not sure if you mention it but where did you purchase the usb adapter? Thanks

[@fredsgarage1925]

Hey, everything you need is always in my discretion section. Here is the link to the adapter. Let me know if you have any questions. amzn.to/3sGWBh6

[@schone1m]

Does those USB ports power if the car is off?

[@fredsgarage1925]

So our mavericks are made to keep the power on for 90 minutes after you turn off the vehicle. It does this to conserve the battery. All you have to do is turn the car on and off again for another 90 minutes. But when your car senses the battery voltage drop to the low 11 it will go into low power mode. Hope this makes sense?

[@alexguitar841]

Could you put an ac plug outlet there instead?

[@fredsgarage1925]

No, it’s not that easy. You would need a 12 volt DC to 110 volt AC inverter which would need to be wired directly to the battery. Then wired to where ever you want the 110 outlet.

[@justinmentalewicz3923]

Can you do it upfront?

[@fredsgarage1925]

Yes, I’m planning to add some ambient blue lights in the footwells that’s a good time to add it to the front/. Hey please subscribe if you haven’t, I’m very close to the 1000 subscribers. Thanks and have a great day

[@Freightliner_diesel_tech]

No need to fuse. The circuit is already fused from the factory

[@fredsgarage1925]

Yes, it’s a very easy swap. My kids use it all the time. Hey have a great day.

[@stewartlv80]

Why couldn’t you buy a 12 volt plug with usb slots instead. They have some that sit flush.

[@fredsgarage1925]

I did, it won’t let you close se the cover, and my kids lost it. So since I did this simply upgrade my ta been perfect

[@douglastaylor43]

I'll tell you what

[@fredsgarage1925]

What

[@DavidRamirez-fe5dd]

Why?

[@fredsgarage1925]

This is why, I went on a trip. I purchased a plug in usb for the rear. After the trip the usb disappeared, I asked both kids they could not find it. Also you can’t close the lid with the usb plugin so either have to remove the usb or leave the lid open to get bumped and knocked off. Hey thanks for the comment, have a great day.

[@DavidRamirez-fe5dd]

@fredsgarage1925 gotcha. I thought it was something totally different, the one in the truck bed . I thought I deleted that comment when I realized what you were doing.

[@fredsgarage1925]

Cool, thanks bro. Gave a good one

[@bobammon2916]

Nice work

[@J-Lawrence]

I bought this on amazon and it allowed me to unplug the port and tap into the current plug without cutting any wires in the maverick: www.amazon.com/dp/B08V4XFP24?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I know it is for a Chrysler Dodge Ram but there was someone else that said they were going to try it and it worked for them. I did the same and it worked for my Maverick.

[@fredsgarage1925]

Thanks for the info, So it plugs into the ford plug? That would be great. I’ll look up the part. Thank you

[@J-Lawrence]

@@fredsgarage1925Yes it does perfectly!
