The factory (called Perimeter Alarm by Ford) , if equipped, does NOT have a shock sensor. But the Ford Accessory security Alarm, that works with the factory Fobs, does have the shock sensor. The factory alarm will only sound if a Door, the lift gate or the hood is opened without using the fob or keypad. It will Not detect glass breaking or protect against entry through a window if the door was not opened. If anyone knows how to a shock or glass breakage sensor to the factory alarm, please tell us, would be very helpful.

Well, you can also upgrade to the 2-way extended range remote start that is available as a Ford Accessory.

Modern Ford vehicles will not disable the alarms unless the remote unlock button is pressed or a correct programmed key is used to turn on the ignition. So even he unlocks your door with a correct cut key, the alarm will still off in about 12 seconds unless they use the remote unlock button or turn on the ignition using a correct programmed key.

The power outlet located on the passenger side of the console? Just a thought, the MKX already has a light for the glovebox, so maybe there is already wiring for it in the Edge?

Even if the key opens the door, the alarm will still go off & engine will not start unless the key is programmed to the ignition.

If you check E-Bay, it seems that window regulators are all compatible for the Edge & MKX for all years 2007 through 2013. See this listing for example for a Motorcraft one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281307012721

Check this thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=402395 Although it seems to be for 2011 models.

From the Edge Source Book: • Thick windshield with acoustic-laminate is standard on all Edge models. • Acoustic front side glass standard on Limited and Sport models.

We see 120F on a usual basis in Summer!! Believe me, it is sometime so hot, that some people, especially those who have to work outdoors, wear long sleeves & cover their faces because of the hot air.

Nicole, The APIM has an extended warranty, 5 years total from original purchase date regardless of mileage. So if the APIM needs replacement, it should be done without any charges. As for the battery, if you think the old one was still ok, put it back & try to return/sell the new one. Good luck.

I don't think we heard about letters for the Throttle body yet, can you please provide more details about the content or program number?

OP said he lost a key, the procedure in the owner's manual works only if he had both keys on hand. So since you only have 1 operational key/Fob, you will have to do it at a dealer or a locksmith who has the correct equipment. Suggestion: Ask the dealer/Locksmith to delete the lost key, so that it won't work unless reprogrammed again, this is to ensure unauthorized entry by anyone who might find the key.

I remember it is white Lithium grease, but I don't remember where I got that info.

Disconnect your car's battery to reset the electronics? And/or try to reset the settings to default/factory settings.

HCFX2011, It is strange. Especially that the mirror only has an indicator led! The actual BLIS sensor is in the rear (side of bumper I think). Just a few thaughts that might be worth trying. Did the 2011 MKX work with 2013 mirror without errors? If you simply disconnected your mirror's wiring, do you still get the warning? Are all other systems in the mirror working (power, memory, autodim)? I'd probably think it a change in the wire placement that caused your error message, what I mean is although the socket plugged in fine, the individual wires are connected in a different order & causing the error message.

If you have the latest update, V3.6.2 (not sure if it was also in V3.5.1), go Settings >Display and select "Off" for mode. The display will turn off. To turn it back on, just touch the display.

12EdgeSport, When you have to do a sequence other than the factory one, do you see the lights on the vehicle working on every press? Is yes, then the remote is working and it's not a battery issue. May I suggest that you disconnect the car's battery for ~30 minutes? Sometimes forcing a reset to electronics fixes them. Edit: Just for information, the remote stat works consistently as per the factory sequence (press 1xLock then 2xStart), so it is designed & should work correctly.

Is the same issue happening with both fobs? Could that one of them has a weak battery. Another thaught, are you sure the vehicles registers the "lock" command? I would suspect that it isn't abd hence the sequence would fail. Try for some time pressing the lock button twice (and hearing the horn chirp to confirm) then press the remote start button twice.

I think the change was made in 2012 with the smaller side view mirrors for all Edges & MKXs. Wish someone could tell us the reasons for these changes and if there were improvements in wind noise.

Linking an IA key is very simple following the instructions in the owners manual. done it several times without any incident. An important note though, you cannot un-link an IA key yourself, it has to be done by a dealer or locksmith with the correct equipment. The maximum number of IA keys that can be linked is 4 only. I made several tests previously & you can remove the battery, the IA key will still work, but only through the backup slot in the center console. Actually it would even be safer to remove the battery because otherwise, pressing the unlock button would disable the Alarm. Check these 2 posts I made earlier: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14049-spare-key/?do=findComment&comment=108786 http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14049-spare-key/?do=findComment&comment=108877

Try e-bay. Since you have an SE, you have the basic mirror. Also, you need a 2012-2014 mirror only. Older models have larger mirrors, they fit, but will look different.

Should work fine.

Do you have the MyFord Touch (8" touch screen)? if so, the APIM, the module responsible for system including the touch screen, has a 5 year unlimited mileage extended warranty (5 years from vehicle purchase).
