I've taken apart and put back more cars than I can remember, but I'll be damned, I can't find that flasher. It was easier to wire in the resistors, just don't wire them across the purple/white wire common on all 4 bulbs, use the other 2. I epoxy'd them to the back of the rear assemblies above the bulb and alongside the headlights in the front.

it tucks back in with the wire harness behind the taillights.

It's brain dead. If you can strip a wire and crimp, you can do this and it works on either the hot lead or ground. I cut the hot lead and stripped both ends and crimped in the resistor. It's only one wire in and one out. I also coated the crimped ends with liquid electrical tape to form a water tight seal.They also give you the no splice connectors that you apply by putting the wire to the bulb in the left side, whip end of one side of the resistor in the other, fold the cover and clamp shut with a pair of pliers to make the connection.

I bought the resistors from superbrightleds, wired in line and it fixed the fast flash issue.

I have a very early edition 2007. So I'll pull the 3rd brake light and let everyone know.

I have my bulbs but realized it seems nobody has done the 3rd rear brake light? Anyone convert this to led? do you know what bulbs are there?

Springs are sitting in the back of the car, I was waiting for the sway bar to get everything done at once but it's been on backorder since early Jan from tirerack. I'll bring it in to the station this week to switch to synthetic oil at 4500 miles, takeoff the snows and install the springs. My wife hates the way the car handles, but then again she drives a vw gti. I'm hoping the lag was the mtbe in the gas over the winter doesn't seem as pronounced as it was earlier in the winter.

NYedge - sorry I wasn't on in a while and didn't see your earlier post or I could've given you some feedback sooner. I'm in Queens and have been running the 87 tune now for about 2 months. I too only care about performance not mileage, but I refuse to pay the half buck difference between 87 and 93 (too many people I know own gas stations, it ain't what you're paying for). I agree there is a great uptick in torque, step on it hard and I'm smoking the tires, but that's probably also because I still have the Nokia Hakka snow tires on it. When I switch back to the Goodyear eagle triple treads I'll see if it still does that, but you do feel more torque steer with the tune than stock. The rev limiter is taken off in all gears and press it hard and she'll accelerate clean up to @6800 in any of them. Passing is unbelievably quick now, no stutter and wait for the tranny to decide what gear it wants to be in before it actually engages. I am finding a bit of a throttle lag maybe a second or two in first gear are you? I will wait until the summer to make sure all the mtbe/ethanol is out of stations tanks before running the 89. I have a fwd 2007, that never will see the dealer again Popular Ford in Brooklyn, typical scum of the earth car salesman/dealer. Next up is a set of H&R sport springs and anti sway bar.

I bought and installed the $79 kit off ebay, great directions, easy install (about 30mins) and I no longer have that stupid bar in the middle. All cars should have these struts. This is where the US automakers lose out to the Germans, check out the cheapest VW.

I bought the one from ebay too. It's the one with the black brackets where the bar screws into it from each side? If so, I didn't like how low mine hung and blocked the plate. What I did was get my floor jack and a 2 pieces of 4' 2x6, placed the boards on the jack and centered the boards under the the bracket where it meets the bar. I then jacked it up until the bar touched the front bumper, left it like this overnight and the next morning your plate should be centered vertically in the bar. You may have to do this 2 nights to get the metal to remember the bend. Good luck

I keep one AWD car in our fleet currently the '08 Sienna minivan, so when I bought the edge last year I opted for the fwd. Biggest thing to do is get snows for the winter and the best dual handling tire available for fwd cars. I went with a set of Goodyear Assurance Tripletreads instead of the crappy Hankooks it came with; change over the tires with the seasons and you'll be fine for 98% of all driving conditions. The only thing you'll have to watch out for are the drivers with awd going too fast in poor conditions on all seasons http://www.fordedgeforum.com/style_images/...icons/icon1.gif Good luck with the 9-3, we had one for 7 months after my wife wrecked her GTI. That car had the worst torque steer I ever felt. After I gave up bringing it back to the dealer my wife brings it in and tells the service guy her GTI never ended up in the other lane when you accelerated and he replied well this isn't a GTI we traded it in (and took a bath) for a new '04 GTI.

Hi - I had a question for one of the techs out there; ran across a totaled sel the other day and was wondering if I could take the 3 button info computer and put it into my se. The connector is there and the switches will fit, will there have to be ant additional programming done? Thanks

Oh - and I love the way the edge performs with the tune. Now I'm just waiting for the H&R springs and stabilizer bar.

I got a package with some painted silver American Racing Rims included that look similar to stock. Not into too many changes here, I like to keep my car unnoticeable in the parking lots. Mounted balanced and shipped, when they get here I just put them on and roll the others into the garage. I can live with the tpms light on for 2-3 months every year.
