Glad Dan took care of you Any trick to installing the HID lights, or is it just easier on a 2014? Pics to share?

Just curious, any of you all top off the tank after shutoff? These systems get more sensitive to that year by year, and apparently some of the "overage" (i.e., raw fuel) can spill into the EVAP system.

As shown in the attached pic, the only bulb actually reused is the reverse/backup bulb. Just take it out of the old/Ford assembly, and put it into the DTBL assembly in the socket shown. Now, the socket that has the giant bulb in it is the brake light socket. You won't need the bulb any more, just the socket. So remove the bulb from the socket and disconnect the wiring connector (for easier installation). Instead of a bulb, the wiring connector coming out of the opening in the DTBL assembly will be plugged into this socket. See the image for inserting the connector in the right direction/polarity that worked for me. The DTBL assembly uses the brake light socket for signal and power to the internally controlled running light and brake light functions. The running light bulb is no longer needed. So discard the bulb, and tie up the socket securely/out of the way. Test the new assembly functions properly in place (but without the 2 screws installed). If all the lighting works properly without hyperflash etc., put in and tighten the 2 screws. Done!

The taillights bulb connector doesn't plug into the new product.

Welcome to the forum! Would love to know some details on your Edge. Model, trim level, mileage, driving style, maintenance history, etc. The transmission programming is a composite of the manufacturer's desired goals at a price point. Not going to be ideal usually, but "good enough", especially with the adaptive PCM capability. Regular maintenance (e.g., changing trans fluid, changing spark plugs, etc.) also helps a great deal in this regard. Winter gas will exaggerate any "ill effects" also.

Great to hear, and stay safe!

It does happen sometimes as parts get updated, but the old boxes get reused. Good catch though! Might want to contact the seller and make sure you are getting the right part. Alternatively you can look for MOTORCRAFT DY-1286.

Did you use Ford/Lincoln or aftermarket assembly? Sometimes the connector is not very tight or falls off. I'd check the wiring around that first. Then move on to the possibility of problems with the A/C pressure switch (ACPSW) or ACP transducer sensor circuits.

I believe that's the electronic part of the electronic throttle body (the black plastic encased part).

Try running a bottle of HEET through the gas tank. If there's water in there, HEET will take care of it. You can add it at any time, empty tank or full tank etc. Empty is always best for best mix, especially with AWD (due to saddle type tank) tho. No idea on the "defrost condenser sound". Have you changed the cabin filter lately? Can you describe the sound in further detail or record & post? If frost is forming on the coils, a new cabin filter and cleaning of the windshield cowl area might fix it. Or you might need to use a coil cleaner to get rid of stuff built up on them.

Noise eliminator, just like on an exhaust system.

Welcome, Etienne. Maybe FordService can help you out, if you can PM them the details? 3 more posts by you on this forum will get you to the necessary 5 count to have PM privileges.

Can't seem to load the pic, but I assume you are referring to the resonator. This is held on by 2 clamps, which people have removed and used plastic/rubber plugs from a hardware store to enclose.

Per the 2012 owner's manual, the transmission uses Mercon LV fluid, capacity of 11 quarts for the 6F50 transmission, and 9 quarts for the 6F35 transmission.

You did

I think the Edge got the engine/appearance covers in 2011 for the Sport (and later on for the 2.0 EB also). The MKX got it earlier, I want to say 2008, maybe 2007. Should run cooler without the cover on the engine, if it's designed anything like on other models in the Ford lineup.

Twins we are.

If you find a few Ford goodies missing from your desk, don't blame me Enjoy!

I find that if I don't hit a steep hill, going at 1500 rpm at 40 instead of 1000 rpm allows the rpms to stay steady for that uphill ride (for a short while anyway). If I hit that hill at 1000 rpm, it will surely rev up to 2500 rpm to downshift and maintain that speed. So if you can find that sweet spot in the power band for your speed & gear, you can probably avoid shifting till necessary if NOT on cruise control

Sometimes the BCM/SJB can act flaky. Maybe you can "reset" the circuit by either 1) pulling the neg batt cable for 30 min or so, or 2) pulling any fuses/relays related to the headlights.

Considering we already have a 2008 Edge staring down 300,000 miles, I'd say you are insanely sane!

Just working too hard, mac, need to take a breather! I assume the dampers wear out over time, how could they not? But how LONG it takes, not a clue! Looks like a straightforward job, so I'd do it as needed.

It does have a high ... distraction ... factor!

Right now there's no roadmap to bring Sync 3 as an upgrade to pre-2016 systems. You could possibly do a hardware swap from a Sync 3 equipped vehicle, how many features would continue to work is a complete unknown. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/16949-new-sync-3-info/ and http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/17439-sync-3-staring-to-be-released-now/

Hmmm. It shows a fit for my 2007. Interesting. Great you got it figured out
