Maybe you can borrow tools from the auto store or the hardware store? Save you some bucks that way.

As listed above, updating the Climate Control Module programming (at the dealer) seems to work. Would have Dealer contact Ford directly if stumped.

Keep 'em coming! Did you go with Autoshade/Weathertech/??? for the rain guards?

Try the fuse box in the driverside footwell area.

Does sound like it needs to be updated. Interested in what you find out.

Welcome to the forum, John, and congrats on the new2you '08 Limited I had looked at Freestyle's/Taurus X's also prior to the Edge, just liked the overall "architecture". Do post a few pics of the Edge (and prev ride(s))! How many miles do you have on the Edge? Unless you know the history intimately, I would seriously advise you at least check the condition of: 1) The PTU fluid, and 2) The Battery, aside from the specified maintenance in the owner's manual, found online here: http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/OwnerGuidePage&year=2008&make=Ford&model=Edge PDF: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/08edgog1e.pdf

No harm done in talking with the dealer, and with Ford Customer Service (FordService/Tricia on here). But if it comes down to it, not cheap, but here's the locking cap for the 2013 Edge (3.5L engine) 8U5Z-9C268-B: http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-locking-fuel-plug-p-393.html http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-8U5Z-9C268-B-Fuel-Filler/dp/B001H1O688 http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-plug-filler_8u5z-9c268-b.html

Whoa, that's no good! Good luck, hope it's just the throttle body; could be a bad BCM or ignition switch also. They will need to run codes at the very least to see if the PCM has left any clues.

Congrats, and enjoy!

One of the best ways to check: http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applications/automotive-lighting-systems/Pages/lrgmain.aspx 2007 Edge 2011 Edge If you have OEM halogen on your Edge (not HID), looks like the same lighting for the dome (578/42mm festoon), not so sure on map lights (2825 vs 3886x), though I do know they are both T10-based bulbs, so you should be OK. Nothing beats pulling out the actual bulb though, as there are always running changes in production, and your Edge may be the odd "man" out.

Even if the oiling caused an issue, regular cleaning of the MAF/MAP sensor (once a year?) would be good, inexpensive practice. Now as far as the throttle body, it would take serious overoiling to affect it IMHO, but I don't really see any discussions on that link.

Good insight, mac!

Plus, having a tuner gives you flexibility.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your '13 SE!

I have the drop-in filter. The Edge does have adaptive logic for the drivetrain.

Faulty APIM causing a parasitic draw?

Nice work!

Haven't noticed any mpg gains from the AEM DryFlow yet, but lots of sound when on the gas for sure! Let's see how the AFE compares

Hopefully this will be the only trouble spot for a while! PTU fluid is generally dark brown in color, and may have a stink to it. Power steering hoses can leak, not sured that's completely covered under warranty. Transmission cooler problems are rare, I do remember a forum member having an issue with that. AC condenser, not really.

ijdmtoy is a good vendor IME. Good quality, sometimes have coupons, just not the brightest offerings.

Awesome, man! Congrats to the three of you on the sparkling new addition to the family ☺ Let the mods begin (Channel premiere TBA)

x2 on worn/faulty battery, especially if it is OEM Ford/Motorcraft that was shipped with the vehicle (most people seem to get 3 years or so out of it). If you do elect to replace, you may be able to fit a Group 65 battery in there for more CCAs/longer life.

It's a tube that sits on top of the PTU (power takeoff unit, AWD vehicles only) to allow expansion room for the PTU fluid during normal operation. Except that sometimes the fluid gets so heated that it spills out the tube. Ford has this issue on some models with the RDU (rear differential unit, AWD only) as well. Both have a TSB of replacing the vent with a longer tube to keep the fluid contained.
