  1. See this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/6012-sirius-radio/ Disconnecting the battery will not work. Sometimes it requires a BUNCH of tries to make it work. Does take at least 15 minutes each time of waiting and car power being on to the radio, so leave key in ON (though engine does not need to be running). Remember NOT to be moving the vehicle during these reactivations. Satellite is notorious for not being able to get that initial LOCK, you see the same thing with GPS. The basic SiriusXM activation page: http://www.siriusxm.com/activationhelp
  2. Titanium & Sport appear to have this available in the Driver's Assistance optional package: http://www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=Edge&year=2015
  3. So a little Peter Pan dust was really what was needed? Wow, Ford tech is even further advanced than we thought!
  4. Avoid the OBDLink MX WiFi version. My experience has NOT been good with that unit. The Bluetooth version however is excellent. Prices are different due to higher sustained data rates with the OBDLink device, as well as ability to look at HSCAN and MSCAN data, which is something few devices can do. Other devices also burn out quickly with use, OBDLink lasts for a while. Difference in quality. So far so good with my experience with the iCar/VGate WiFi device though. Get the latest version (see latest on Amazon). Only thing I don't like about WiFi is that the devices stay on for up to 1/2 hour after the engine is turned off, so if you do use these things, be sure to remove from the OBD port when done.
  5. Hopefully just a blend door issue, Prinzll, not a leaking compressor or something!
  6. If you have an Android device, you can use Torque Pro to read codes in addition to monitoring performance. Torque Pro will use wifi OR bluetooth OBD adapters such as the VGate/iCar (wifi) device or the OBDLink MX (bluetooth). You can get them from Amazon or EBay. OBDLink is free software for the OBDLink devices only, it works with wifi/bluetooth also. If you have an iPad or iPhone or a Windows device, you can download ForScan, which is a tremendous tool for Ford applications. ForScan (windows) is free, ForScan Lite (iPad/iPhone/etc) is $5 I think. And iDevices use wifi ONLY, btw. Windows devices should be able to work with wifi and bluetooth, but cannot confirm at this time. I have used both applications successfully. If you want the doitall and are not worried about pretty GUIs, use ForScan. You will find the process enlightening.
  7. Toothpaste is basically an abrasive, so that's a good idea Or you could try Meguiar's 205 on a good microfiber cloth. But I highly recommend you try this Novus kit http://www.amazon.com/NOVUS-7100-Plastic-Polish-Kit/dp/B002UCYRZU/ that is quite popular for this purpose especially.
  8. BRAND NEW OEM LH REAR DOOR LATCH 2007-2013 FORD EDGE LINCOLN MKX #8T4Z-7826413-Ahttp://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OEM-LH-REAR-DOOR-LATCH-2007-2013-FORD-EDGE-LINCOLN-MKX-8T4Z-7826413-A-/231419974839 You can always verify with Benny at LevittownFordSuperCenter for pricing & accuracy.
  9. Could be a faulty A/C pressure switch (ACPSW) or ACP transducer sensor.
  10. Does the MKX intake differ from the Edge? Frankly never looked at it.
  11. The general codes can be picked up by an OBD2 reader (such as Bxxxx, Cxxxx, Uxxxx, and Pxxxx); there are some that require Ford's IDS software to retrieve.
  12. Scan for any existing codes, but there may not be any. Check for any fluid leaks. Other than that, you will have to wait for a repeat, unfortunately.
  13. If you are repairing on your own dime, keep all receipts for when it comes time to get reimbursement from Ford.
  14. Did any check engine/service advancetrac lights/etc come on at that time? ODO ERROR message? Sounds like the PCM engaged failsafe mode. It is possible you have one or more bad wheel speed sensors and/or need TSS/OSS sensors for the transmission, depending on what the symptoms are exactly. Very unlikely it is a throttle body issue, since that seems to be a 2011+ problem, but could be.
  15. Yeah, that's not good. At least the foam seems to be good quality and not easily flammable! The heat needs to be channeled out of the car or at least away from the seat it is being taken from, while still making the seat look good. NOT an easy feat.
  16. For those interested in a little experimentation with their vehicles, if you have tried everything else to quiet the "ticking", there is one thing that you can add to your fuel that might actually work. It is not cheap, but it is used mostly in commercial fleets to improve mpg & engine service life. The product is called ACES IV, and you can purchase it from: http://bndautomotive.com/aces-formulas/aces-iv-gasoline-formula/ A thread on the Charger forum about this product: http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101392
  17. Looking good and riding well ... priceless! Post up some pics of the LED lighting and the surrounds when you can
  18. Well, I hope it will be at least 7 years before any issues show up! Seriously though, maybe you should follow up with Ford to see what your options are, how long they will warranty the tank for.
  19. It is worth trying full synthetic oils from different major mfrs (and a 0W instead of 5W oil) to see if this is indeed a cam phaser issue. The oil passages are very small in the phasers and get easily clogged, but better lubricants may be just what are needed. Nobody has mentioned a 2015 with this issue, hope they chime in if they too are experiencing it.
  20. If the Edge has been sitting that long, Ford should replace a whole bunch of parts on it. There was another member posted just before you who got quite a bit of equipment done over. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15219-gasfuel-tank-leak/page-11?do=findComment&comment=135846
