Additional Notes

The Ford Maverick ash tray bulb specifications cover model years 1970-1977, with two distinct bulb types used across that span: the 1445 and the 1892.
The 1892 bulb is a T5 miniature wedge type operating at 12 volts and 3 watts, conforming to ANSI standards for the US and Canadian markets.
The 1445 bulb is a single-filament type with a BA9s bayonet base, also rated at 12 volts but drawing only 2 watts, and likewise carries ANSI certification for US and Canadian markets.
The BA9s base on the 1445 is a miniature bayonet cap, which requires a twist-and-lock socket rather than the friction-fit socket associated with wedge-base bulbs like the 1892.
Because the 1445 and 1892 use physically incompatible base types, one is not a drop-in substitute for the other despite both operating on 12-volt systems.
The Ford Maverick (1970-1972) ash tray position calls for the 1892 bulb across all three of those years.
The 1973 model year is absent from the specification data, so no bulb type is attributed to it.
The Ford Maverick (1974-1975) and 1977 share the 1445 bulb for the ash tray position, while 1976 reverts to the 1892.
The wattage difference between the two bulbs, 2W for the 1445 versus 3W for the 1892, reflects a modest variation in power draw that may be relevant when assessing socket and circuit compatibility.
Both bulb types are classified under ANSI standards, meaning their electrical and physical characteristics conform to a defined industry specification rather than being proprietary to Ford.
