Might want to share your current vehicle details. Model/year/trim and wheel/tire sizes. Sport models and bigger wheels have stiffer rides.

I think it is a matter of different principles. In Europe, generally, they get more Fog and drive faster, hence the rear fog requirement & expectation that all other vehicles on the same highway also have their rear fogs on. Having one vehicle without the rear fogs on is a recipe for disaster. In the US, having no requirement of rear fog lights means people should drive at lower speeds considering they rely on regular taillights (less bright). The probability of encountering a vehicle with less bright lights is much lower. Then again, if fogs were mandated by law, people would have been more aware. But, living in a country where you have both types of vehicles (with and without rear fogs) is even worse! Especially when people drive 60+ mph in heavy fog and then use front and rear fog light on clear nights.

Does do the cycle on every startup or only the 1st after re-connecting the wiper blade? Compare the connectors from the arm's side, maybe the passenger side's is also damaged. What I had meant was regarding the wiper blades themselves. The OEMs are different, right & left, and the connectors should be slightly different to avoid installing them incorrectly. If you are still facing the issue, maybe post a few photos of how they are installed, someone might have other suggestions.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Might want to consider using K&N washable Cabin Air Filters, they will save you a lot if you replace the filters twice a year. As for the screws, the 2015-2019 Edge was the first I've seen with them, it felt strange for me especially as the plastic door closes securely without. Actually considered not re-installing them to avoid dropping them when cleaning the filter, but decided to keep them as they must serve a purpose. For the weather stripping, there are also upgraded versions for the ones at the back of the rear door openings. But a bit more expensive, ~$60 each if i remember correctly. Driver side: FT4Z-5828125-C Passenger side: FT4Z-5828124-D They were part of TSB 18-2339 (link) -
For the connector thing, I am not sure which connector you mean, but as for the wipers coming on for one cycle, I am guessing that when you are re-installing the passenger side you are positioning it above the driver side wiper, in this case, the wiper will do a single wipe to correct the positioning. The passenger side wiper should be at the bottom & the driver side on top. That is normal. For the connector, if you mean where the wiper blade connects to the wiper arm, with OEM wiper arms, the left & right sides are not interchangeable, they have slightly different connectors & aero spoilers since they are installed on opposite sides. Maybe they were mixed.

Cargo lid max opening height
omar302 replied to Edgingage's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
I can't really help. Maybe test it by helping the liftgate up a little by hand and as if the struts were stronger, see if it would still stop early or continue. -
This is only a guess, the current gear indicator on the dash simply displays information it receives. So when the transmission is in manual shift mode the PCM sends the current gear info to the cluster. The Tuner would program the PCM so it sends this info all the time, not only during manual mode.

They should recall all the previously shipped hoses from the same batch, even if the customer did not complain.

2011 Ford Edge Sync Replacement
omar302 replied to magnum3672's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Replacing the MyFord Touch screen with a used one should be relatively cheap. MyFord Touch is refferd to as "Sync 2". You can upgrade it to Sync 3 if you want a good upgrade (link to a thread). The Sync system is actually a module (APIM) and screen. You will need both in case of upgrading to Sync 3. Your vehicle might only have a bad APIM, a used replacement on eBay is like USD 150 only (example). You will need to program it using ForScan with a compatible adapter. Or contact @jmr061 who is a member here who might sell you one programmed ready for your vehicle. -
HVAC and ambient lighting issues
omar302 replied to stevie's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
The touchscreen is called the APIM. The faceplate with the touch buttons is the FCIM. As far as i know, the HVAC module is not related to, and does not control, the ambient lights. maybe check the fuses if there is a common circuit for both. -
Given your Edge is at the edge of Powertrain Warranty coverage (5 years or 60K miles, whichever first) and with a TSB already issued for it, maybe try to contact Ford customer service if they would cover it under warranty.
-
No, it can't. I have not found anything related to it in ForScan.

Cargo lid max opening height
omar302 replied to Edgingage's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Maximum heightight is not adjustable on the 2011. For the Edge it was added on 2015+ models. For OP, I'd suspect that the lift struts (the normal gas ones) are weak, hence the motor is not able to get the liftgate to the maximum height. Especially considering they are now ~ 10 years old. -
13M01 - Middle East PTU Extended Warranty
omar302 replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
This recommendation started with the 2013 model, if I remember correctly. That is when they started having drain plugs for the PTU for Middle East models. That's why this extended warranty was issued. -
anyone have real world experience with Pre-Collision Assist?
omar302 replied to ben senise's topic in Lounge
There is a setting in the instrument cluster for sensitivity. At high, you'll probably get a lot of warnings. -
There are these from Veritek Performance, cheaper than Gorillas or McGards, for $40, but maybe stay with the chrome finish version, not sure the black paint will survive long term.

If you dissemble the remote completely, you'll find under the number pad small flexible "discs" glued to the button pad that make contact to the board when the buttons are pressed. I recall in some cases with this Fob design (used on 2011-2014 Edges) that the discs move from their positions and then would cause unwanted button presses. If that's your issue, try to positions them back correctly & maybe use a tiny amount of super glue between the discs & the button pad.

Member's details not shown anymore?
omar302 replied to handfiler's topic in Forum Help & Site Suggestions
Problem is that signatures don't appear in the mobile view of the site. -
In Sport mode, if you shift manually it'll stay in manual mode and the display will remain on until you exit manual mode. Other than that, there is no way except with a tuner that supports it, Livernoise is NOT one of them.

Service Charging System Now
omar302 replied to Nick Halstead's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
See the attached from the service manual, in case you haven't already. P065B doesn't look easy to diagnose. Charging System - 2.7L EcoBoost 3.5L Duratec D and T.pdf -
Service Charging System Now
omar302 replied to Nick Halstead's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Any DTCs? Use ForScan with a HS/MS-Can capable adapter so you can read codes from all modules, not just the PCM codes.
