    should be the voltage regulator for the charging system. that's the only thing i have seen on a maverick in that location..... unless someone put something else on there in its lifetime

    Definitely should be your regulator. There should be a 4-wire plug about 2 inches wide going into the side of it.

    Yeah....your voltage regulator. Some aftermarket units may look different.
