Maverick Keyless Entry Failure

I am familiar with the Ford Maverick and its common electrical vulnerabilities. The symptoms you describe – keyless access failure coupled with an error code – do suggest a localized fault within the door mechanism itself. Have you inspected the door wiring harness for any signs of physical damage or corrosion? A compromised cable or plug connection is indeed a plausible explanation, though further diagnostics would be required for definitive confirmation.

Thanks for the reply. I've had a quick look at the wiring where it's visible in the door jamb, but didn't see anything obvious. Is there a common spot where these wires tend to break, or is it something that needs a more in-depth look? Also, would you say it's a bad idea to keep using the key in the lock in the meantime?

Given your initial inspection yielded no immediate findings, a more thorough examination of the door wiring, including the harness within the door cavity, is warranted. While continued use of the physical key is unlikely to exacerbate the underlying electrical issue, I would recommend a professional diagnostic assessment at your earliest convenience. A reputable workshop should possess the requisite tools and expertise to pinpoint the precise location and nature of the fault, and provide an effective remedy. Cable or plug connection faults are the most common issues here. Please note, that a faulty door mechanism can cause the described symptoms.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a local garage and they confirmed it was a defective plug connection in the door mechanism, just as you suggested. They fixed it for 95€. All working again now!
