  1. I remember reading on the forum that you can disable the active noise cancelation by disconnecting any of the 3 mics in the headliner.
  2. @jmr061 made a video on the replacement of the turn signal bulbs:
  3. Fix it under warranty. That is not normal, the shade on my 2016 is as sturdy as my older 2011. As far as I know, the 2019 has the same shade as 2015+ models.
  4. The MKX, Nautilus, now has an all display cluster, so they have no excuse letting the Edge with the very old cluster. What's worse is that this cluster in the Edge (Sport, Titanium, ST) is the upper class cluster. They did the same mistake with the new 2019 Ranger. Using this same cluster design. The worst aspect of this cluster is the mostly useless right scree.
  5. With the ignition "OFF" you can move the wipers by hand to the up position then you can lift them. When the ignition is off, the wiper motors can be moved freely. After replacing the blades make sure to lower the wipers back to the windshield. Once the ignition is turned on the wiper motors will start and park the wipers back to their position. If the order of the wipers is incorrect, the motors will do correct their positions.
  6. @onyxbfly Congratulations on finishing the project. The stock cluster is very "boring". Especially since I have been looking at the type since 2011.
  7. I can now see the region & vehicle of members on both the desktop & mobile versions of the site. Thanks for the update, really helpful.
  8. Drilling holes will help get the water out, but not fix the source. In my opinion, if you are trying to find a solution, try to find where the water is coming inside. Maybe it is the seal around the housing where the front and back parts meat. I also remember that in the procedure for installing the light bar, there was a note on the sequence for torquing the bolts to avoid damage, might also be worth looking into if they were not tightened correctly and caused a crack somewhere. Edit: Attached the procedure. Reversing Lamp RI.pdf
  9. Was your 2013 a V6? If so, that would, in my opinion, be the main reason. The smaller engine, 2.0L, is just not big enough to brake the vehicle as good as the bigger V6. My 2016 Sport (with a 2.7L V6, has selectshift, but just cannot "Engine brake" as good as my previous 2011 MKX with the 3.7L V6. Engine braking works by operating the engine an pump, having turbo(s) to increase engine power will not have any effect on engine braking. So even though the downsized "Turbo" engines make more power, they have less engine braking capability.
  10. You have a Gen2 Edge, his is a Gen1. The stock wipers are different so maybe this wouldn't work.
  11. My guess is having the vista roof with the shade closed being the issue. Mainly due to the heat buildup between the shade and the glass that would eventually escape towards the overhead console.
  12. Guess this is an issue with the new style overhead console. Maybe having the big sunroof is also a factor.
  13. Normally, no. Unless there is a software issue then the repair would be to update the software. Also, if you have a friendly tech/dealership, they could do it. But it is not a normal thing unless there is a problem.
  14. I also face this high heating of the sunglasses making them too hot to wear. Never thought of finding a permanent solution. Hanging the sunglasses for about 10 seconds on the middle A/C vents to cool them down. Or if i remember when parking the Edge that it'll be under the sun I would not leave the sunglasses up there. Though I never faced melted nose pads! and we do get really hot summers here.
  15. I'd agree with @DaMiFo. Looking at the 2017 Order Guide, the Titanium model with BLIS is always equipped with Auto-Dimming drivers side mirror.
  16. Nice find, but how good would the black finish stand to tightening/loosening of the lug nuts or the use of impact wrenches. With the black finish, any scratch will quickly become visible, unlike a chrome finish.
  17. There is a thread about a vibration, but the common thing with your issue is that it would go away when a door is opened, though not yet resolved, it seems to be pointing towards the active noise cancelation. Might help you in the diagnosis.
  18. I'll give you my opinion now, I think the stock 20" Sport wheels are the best. Too bad they'd cost me a fortune to ship them overseas to my location. @blownZ71 had a set for sale.
  19. Happens to mine also. Welcome to the forums and update us on what happens with the dealer. Note that their are only 2 side sensors on each side, one in front of the front tire and one behind the rear tire. The vehicle will extrapolate data from those sensors for the side doors. So if a front sensor mis-detects something, the display will keep showing it on the side as you drive ahead until it calculates that you have passed it.
  20. I enabled the reverse mirror dip feature using FORScan. Very helpful as you you noted, when in reverse if I need to see the curb I just push the mirror button for the side I want and it will dip.
  21. If I had the option, I'd personally go with option 2. Replace all 4 with 20" wheels. Though, if you still decide to keep the 21s, consider using tires that have a rim protector lip. They would stick out a but to take curb hits before the rims and help reduce damage to wheels. My current tires have them (Vredestein Ultrac Vorti) and they work great. They don't eliminate damage, but do reduce them significantly, especially lighter curb scrapes.
  22. Hope you the best. Enjoy your new ride and take care.
