Battery trouble, will the H6 fit in a Sport?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Xtra's topic in Accessories & Modifications
that's the ford philosophy ... not bad, not great, but good enough. works well for the average owner, or has worked i should say, given that "normal" conditions as defined by them seem to be disappearing. -

2016 Edge (European 2.0 AWD) Rear Wheel bearing
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Dave C's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
when powertrain or electrical/electronic items are not working on modern vehicles, it is often useful to start by reading any OBD codes that may be present. i recommend purchasing Forscan Lite software + the OBDLink MX+ obd adapter combo. ASSUMING the suspension/steering is similar to stateside vehicles, you can peruse the shop manual here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1wBzOTmEZvCvnzvmTI470QBGyYX60xDBh and parts can be looked up here: https://www.fordpartsgiant.com among other online ford dealers. EDIT: and yes battery issues are quite common especially on vehicles not kept on a battery tender/driven a good amount on a daily basis. -
Ford Edge 2011 limited awd Duratec 3.5 v6 overheating
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Rodreiser's topic in 3.5L
one of two things - radiator fans, or water pump. fans are very common to go out on 2011-2014 MYs (1.5 gen), and can actually lead to engine overheating. hope you have maintained coolant regularly. 46K is VERY low mileage for a 2011 and if you have been going by ford maintenance schedules, you are on the wrong track. you need to use 5 year/60K miles from mile 0 as your service interval for everything (except PTU (AWD) fluid). coolant, transmission, brake, power steering ... -
very likely an electrical problem of some kind. the 3.5 engines had issues with the throttle body, but the 2015 MY had some scattered reports of random electrical issues. check battery health and wiring/terminals for sure. you should change ALL fluids when you change the ptu fluid. don't depend on ford maintenance intervals, as they are overstated for most of us who don't have the perfect long highway cruise all day every day. so - trans, coolant, ptu, rdu, and brake fluids should all be on your radar.

How do you Charge the Battery in your Edge?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to oskar27's topic in 2016 Edge & MKX
if you are ok with no puddle lights or entry lights, you can turn Dark Mode on using Forscan for Windows/extended license if applicable to your MY. -
please provide more information about your ride, tuned or untuned, engine/trans/suspension/brake/etc modifications and more. have you had your vehicle since new, and how many miles on it. how often do you maintain fluids? hopefully not an engine coolant/oil issue ... https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1vQcTXmba9Z2AMvYe7ClAplR16ltQm6ES recommend a good obd scanner like BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+ to pick up trouble codes.

odyssey will always test about 20% higher than rated. using virgin lead helps a lot. non-virgin lead based agm batteries may start off 10% higher but wont hold over the longterm. just my experience.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
haven't had any issues with the inchannel weathertechs on our 2007. yes there is a slight clack when fully closing the window, and yes, you do have to wipe down the windows periodically to keep the dirt off etc but performance is good. -
Cold Air Intake Edge ST & Sport 2.7EB
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Xtra's topic in Accessories & Modifications
sweetness. glad you trimmed the cover anyway. shows off that nice metal shine, puts a break in that sea of plastic, kind of like accentuation. -
didn't see any mention of mileage or fluid maintenance history, so i will list the common problems for this gen: torque mount - usually feel this in every gear. save for the rust issue, they are not difficult to replace. as with anything on this vehicle, patience, new fasteners, ford/motorcraft parts etc are good to have on hand. plan in advance, as prices these days are ridiculous. tss/oss failure - singlemost common electrical failure on this transmission. always replace in pairs, and use motorcraft, or if using aftermarket parts, use the gaskets from the old OEM parts on the new sensors. Ford/MC is best way to go tho. solenoid body assembly - #2 in line with electrical failures. you can use ford diagnostics from their shop manual to figure it out. replace solenoid filter at same time. torque converter - see these from time to time. can be replaced without removing the transmission, but it is a task. valve body - very rarely see these go bad, sometimes a piston gets jammed. you can opt to replace the check balls if you open up the VB. that said, there was a problem acknowledged in a Ford TSB for mercon LV spec'd transmissions about needing modified valve body plates and removing a checkball to correct a "bump" condition. but at low speeds, not in overdrive. transmission range sensor - very rarely see these go bad either. ford has a TSB on how to confirm failure. in descending order of likelihood. since it ONLY happens when in overdrive, i would suspect torque converter involvement. turn off the O/D and see if the problem goes away. if so, try a tube or two of Lubegard Shudder Fixx (if fluid has been maintained). if current fluid has not been maintained but is still free of debris and smells good and no worse than brown color (2010 uses Mercon LV which turns brown quickly/naturally), do a full fluid exchange first. there is no point adding the lubegard if the fluid is in poor condition. videos that show you how to replace all but TC and TRS are available on the MACT FORD EDGE YT channel https://www.youtube.com/c/MACTFordEdge/videos

WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to Duece McCracken's topic in Ford Edge & MKX Member Builds
sweet! will look over the thread. EDIT: over 600 posts lol, will take time. if you do whipple it, consider going up to 5w30 in a thicker oil like Redline, or even 10w30 in pennzoil or valvoline. more power needs stouter oil. and the xg filters have been great, but they recently changed the design a bit, so no idea how well they perform now. purolator boss is a worthy alternative. -

what trim level/engine? looks like a Bullitt color but not too familiar with how widely used. -

So you are in Xtra's Demo Derby Club of the Week. hope they get it fixed up right. -
did you replace with bulbs of the same type (halogen for halogen or HID for HID) or change to LED or ...? with "cheap" product, the BCM can be sensitive, as lighting is based on PWM. so if the bulbs are not correctly designed, they can cause the automatic feature to fail. but will continue to work when you force it to ON.

Fuse panel question
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to paker's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
180 is really low. first time that happens, you can recover it for the most part, but it will not survive another such drawdown. best to be ready for a new battery. -
