  1. I have looked on ebay and did see that there are some for sale. It is a bit more confusing as there seems to be two different styles, or maybe they are the same, but one comes with a valve stem and the other looks like a flat band. As I am not the one installing them, I am not sure how the tire center will react if I hand them a set and say use these. I do know that if I use theirs, then they are bound to support them and can't use the "oh, your problem is from..." line on me.

     

    I guess it could just translate it into a beer equation. No beer for me for the next 2 months and that will cover the cost of adding in the TPMP from the tire center.

     

    Since 2011 they have used the stem type TPMS, before that it was the band type. I believe they use different frequencies and can't be interchanged.

     

    I don't think you should have problem getting them to use ebay sensors, if they insisted I buy theirs I would find another tire shop.

  2. When mine gets to 0km left and goes red, I still have 10-15 litres left, so another 100km or so.

     

    I can go through a whole tank in short distance stop and go driving and it will get 15 L/100km, or a bit better in summer. On road trips I have gotten as low as 7.9 l/100km (usually 8-9 at highway speeds).

  3. Maybe you can get the dealership to do the cleanout tool service on ALL the remaining doors just to make sure they don't act up :)

     

    Since I am in Canada they don't have the tool, they just changed it. There are detailed instruction on this site for cleaning the contacts; since I will be paying for repairs now I will try that if it happens again.

  4. I got my 17" from tirerack and they do a good job telling you what wheels will fit on your car.

     

    I have had my snow tires on three winters now and they enrolled the the car's system automatically without flashing a warning until I put the stock wheels on this spring. It went out by itself after a while.

     

    When I ordered from tirerack they called me up insisting I needed the tool. I would have bought one of ebay if it turned out I needed it. Some people on this site don't seem to have them enroll automatically. It seems Canadians have it easier but maybe that is just a coincidence.

     

    Note you can train you wheels without the tool, by letting air out of the tires one at a time so it knows the location of each sensor. I tried this on my 2011 Edge and it works.

  5. Thanks for asking FordService. My Edge is currently at the dealer now and while I was typing this they called to say it was fixed.

     

    Last weekend the door ajar waring finally started staying on all the time, so it would be easy for the dealer to identify he the issue. I also took the TSB in to make sure they didn't miss it (they did with the phantom wiper issue even though I told them about it).

     

    Timing has worked out well, my 3-year warranty is up on Saturday. Time will tell if the door issue re-appears, which I am expecting in a few years.

  6. Ok so please tell me how I can tell which cans I have?? Also thank you factor thats what I wanted to know. So you have Pro Series on your Edge?

     

    I think I ordered a drawtite but it came in a Cequent box and the instructions had the model numbers of the drawtite, resse and hidden hitch models. I don't know really about the "Pro" brand, but don't imagine they would produce two different models for the same vehicle.

  7. Note they only cycle the affected door latch switch, not replace it. Ask them what warranty goes with the TSB, coz if it happens after warranty expiration, you might be paying for it. Or you could replace it yourself using the HowTo info on this forum.

    I wouldn't have guessed that...thanks again. I'll see what they say.

     

    Of course it doesn't do it all the time, so there is a chance it won't do it at the dealer and they will say there isn't a problem....
