What was the temperature when you checked the battery voltage (of 12.4V)? Figure 1 (pg 1) in this document: http://www.pssurvival.com/PS/Batteries/Primitive_Survival/Testing-State-of-Charge_Lead_Batteres_2010.pdf A few basics about lead acid batteries from "Bob's Class" at UCSB: http://my.ece.ucsb.edu/York/Bobsclass/194/LecNotes/Lect%20-%20Batteries.pdf

Have you tried contacting FordServiceCA on here? They may be able to provide more assistance than you have received so far. One more post, and you will be able to PM them with your info/the MKX's info so they can look into it. If you have a case # already, let them know. LKQ has a used part listed on EBay for $375 U.S. In one of the images, it is noted: "Scrap Part if Dropped." More used units here: https://www.hollanderparts.com/used-auto-parts/2014/ford/edge/electrical/594~info-gps-tv-screen/594-01340~front,%20center%20dash%20mounted,%208%22%20touch%20screen,%20thru%2004-08-14,%20id%20bt4t-18b955-ad Not sure what the difference might be. Sometimes the version numbers are simply batch run updates, or there may be a supplier change, or an actual design change.

Is the 7/100 a powertrain or b2b-type warranty?

I don't see info posted for this on car audio sites yet, but you can try places like, or call them ... http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/CarFitGuide.aspx http://www.crutchfield.com/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fCar%2foutfitmycar%2fcar.aspx

Very very cool! Probably a first for the Edge

Definitely let me know next time you are in the area! It's been quite a while since I've been to NY city, though I have occasion to visit family & friends in NJ every so often.

The losses do seem a bit on the high side, don't know if that's because of vehicle class. In the Taurus SHO, the losses are more like 15-17%, and that's on an "older" EB setup, so ...

Maybe I'll get to drive one of those and a Prowler at some point in me life

Welcome, officially Yeah, it was an adjustment for me too, going from a 90s sedan to the 07 Edge. Sitting high up, thicker steering wheel, etc. Did like the improvements to powertrain, suspension & handling that make it more car-like, but not QUITE Started out a GM guy, but all Ford for quite some time now.

Welcome aboard, Gary, congrats on the new ride, great looker! AWD? Put up some pics of your Crossfire too, those are gawk-worthy cars

Looking forward to you taking delivery of the new ride, Chipster!

Make sure all recalls are done, and that the PCM calibration is up to date. Other recommendations here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19579-looking-at-buying-a-used-2013-edge-sel-fwd-with-appearance-package/?do=findComment&comment=144625

On the 2011+, I believe the front turn signals are the OEM DRLs, but people many times want to use the vertical light bars instead. Some find the OEM light bars inadequate for this purpose, and install the DTBL product instead. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12612-just-got-my-drl-activated-at-the-dealership/ http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12919-ford-edge-vertical-led-daytime-running-lights-in-stock/ In older MYs, this is the OEM setup: Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) The DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity. The SJB supplies pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to illuminate the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity when the following conditions are met: The ignition switch is in the RUN position. The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch. The transmission is not in PARK (P). As far as the 3D modeling, practice makes perfect!

Another Cellbine innovation, first to 3D print for the Edge I assume the headlights would come on at full intensity since they are not being used as DRLs.

The bypass switch idea that was proposed earlier may work here also? Not quick & easy, but definitely cheaper than changing out the whole part for sure. Ford needs to get this right and provide the "proper" fix.

Welcome, Pedro, congrats! Def post a thread in the Welcome Forum, so you can add all kinds of stuff relating to your Edge http://www.fordedgeforum.com/forum/10-welcome-forum/

Not sure which TSB you are referring to. There were issues with the 2.7EB engine with hoses popping off. With the 3.5, it was a sudden shutdown issue, apparently due to PCM programming errors.

Current list of vehicles on recall available here: http://www.safercar.gov/rs/takata/takatalist.html

Only happens when first driven after sitting overnight? Or even after a few miles? Are you on the brakes when in Park, or relying on the emergency brake only? Is the air intake free & clear of debris? I would have said maybe wheels (with snow/ice, becoming unevenly weighted), but you said it happens even in Park. That also takes out the possibility of the driveshaft if AWD, I think.

i think the word "swap" got confusing maybe :/

Not sure about the Ford product, but many people have successfully used the Toyota Scion xb bumper protector ... http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/3905-found-it/page-5?gopid=65787&do=findComment&comment=65787

You can get an OBDII adapter that you can monitor on a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet or even a Windows PC. Software like Torque Pro (Android devices only) or Forscan (Apple & Android devices, Windows PC) can read codes from the computer. In the U.S., auto parts stores will read the codes for free, but I don't know what the setup is in Israel.

There are many more options for reporting in the 2015+. If you read the section in the OM specific to fuel/mileage (around pg 100 in the 2015 IIRC), you will see what I mean. Aside from that, as akirby said, reset the meter at every fillup to get the mpg/kpl for that fillup. Better yet, by a small margin, is manual calculation

Very nice! Clean garage too

The oxygen sensor essentially helps the PCM figure out how much unburnt fuel there is in the exhaust, and the PCM then adjusts the air-fuel ratio accordingly. This is a continuous process as you drive, not a set-and-forget. That's how the vehicle can achieve the greatest fuel efficiency. Except at WOT, where a relatively fuel-rich mixture is run for maximum available power while preventing engine detonation/failure. Each time you fill up gas, the engine will evaluate fuel trims (air fuel ratios), and can take a few miles of driving to settle into a steady long-term situation (the "new normal"). This is a more pronounced effect in the 2011+ because the PCM adjusts engine performance based on the fuel quality. 2007-10 PCMs do not. Are you are getting fuel from the same station, maybe the fuel is not very good - change stations and see what happens next time. Check & clean the throttle body again, see if the light goes out again. If so, there could be a PCV related issue. Make sure you are running the correct engine oil, and clean or replace the PCV valve. Did you have the exhaust system checked for leaks? Can be very small and hard to find.
