Maverick Gear Selection Error

It sounds like you may indeed have a faulty clutch pedal switch. The symptoms you describe – error codes, non-functional gear selection display, cruise control issues, and starting problems – are consistent with a malfunctioning switch. This switch is a safety feature, and if it fails, it can cause these types of problems. Have you checked the switch itself and the connections to see if anything is loose or damaged?

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't actually checked the switch myself yet because I wasn’t sure where to even begin. When you say 'check the switch and connections,' what exactly am I looking for? Should I be trying to test it with some equipment, or is it more of a visual inspection kind of thing?

While a visual inspection for damaged or loose connections is a good first step, given your description and lack of experience, I would advise taking your Ford Maverick to a qualified workshop. Based on the error stored in the memory, they should be able to quickly diagnose the problem, which seems to point to a defective cable or plug connection. From there, the estimated repair costs shouldn't be more than 95€.

Okay, thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a local shop like you suggested. Turns out it really WAS the clutch pedal switch – a loose connection just like you suspected. They fixed it up, and everything's working perfectly again. Cost me exactly 95€. Appreciate the help!
