60 is Max A/C mode (90 is max heat). It should put the fan on high and set recirculation. If yours doesn't do anything then it may not be in automatic mode. Hit the Auto button, then set it to 60 and wait a few seconds. If it still doesn't do anything it may not be working correctly.

That won't fit on a license plate.

Check for a clogged door drain (small holes at the inside bottom of each door) or A/C drain.

They had to rebuild the entire front clip of the Flex, MkT and Taurus to handle the torque of the EB3.5. You'd have to do the same with the Edge and MKX and that's not happening until the new platform arrives (if at all).

Or pull and replace fuse 29.

There are 10 types of people in this world - those that understand binary and those who don't.

I know you knew - I was just reaffirming it.

More air in actually means MORE gas used because it has to maintain the A/F ratio. However, the notion that a freer flowing air filter provides more air to the engine is ONLY true at WOT. At anything less than WOT the only difference is the amount of throttle applied. Let's say it flows 10% better - that means that 50% throttle with a K&N looks the same to the engine as 60% throttle with a paper filter. So for normal driving all you've done is change the amount of throttle you apply - the amount of air is the same therefore the fuel is the same.

The same reasoning applies to the filter as well. Don't expect any improvement.

Maybe you should read it again. 3.5 V6 is 280/253.

Not sure on the 2011s - check the owner's manual.

Exactly. Changing your driving habits will yield better results.

Turn the power liftgate off first - then do whatever you want.

The Taurus gets the 2.0EB next year.

Sync yes but Nav requires MFT.

Useless? It allows you to start the vehicle from afar and warm up or cool down before you get in it. Just because you need to restart it when you get in doesn't negate the usefulness. It's an inconvenience for sure but hardly useless.

Of course it's possible. There are very good aftermarket companies that do the installs the same way the factory would. Ask the dealers who they use. Doesn't matter who does the work - It will only void the warranty if the installation causes some problem in the vehicle and the warranty would only be voided for that specific issue or part, not the whole vehicle. Try to find one with satisfied customers and no or very few complaints.

Did you reset the computer avg mpg? What did you get on your previous vehicle compared to the EPA estimate? It should improve over time but that sounds really low. Give it one or two tanks. You might also try a different gas station just to be safe.

You may have to release them from inside the seat. Somebody posted that procedure but I don't remember which vehicle it was for and which forum it was posted on. I'll see if I can find it.

Sync should be standard on the SEL. Navigation is a separate option.

If it's the clock spring then yes, you have to remove the steering wheel to replace it. It's not guaranteed but that's the most likely culprit.

I'm on my second set of Latitudes on my 08 limited. No complaints at all. They're pricey but they're great tires.

This typically points to the clock spring in the steering wheel.

Actually the warranty only requires that you use fluids and parts that meet the ford specification - doesn't have to be motorcraft and you can certainly do it yourself. If you want to switch to mobil 1 then you need to be sure it meets the Ford spec in your OM. Same for oil filters. Personally I think the factory synthetic blend Motorcraft 5w-20 and filter is perfectly fine if you change it per the OM.
