FYI, the glove box door is large because it houses the passenger side knee airbag.

I think they were 8mm. I used a screwdriver that attaches sockets at the end.

One more thing to consider, the rear hooks in the cargo area on the side panels, they also might be loose in their position.

OK, then. That makes it more mysterious. Like what @WWWPerfA_ZN0W stated above, maybe take it to another alignment shop. Also, did the dealer provide before & after alignment readings? Might give an indication of what they changed.

Why were the tires replaced by the dealer and alignment done? Was there another issue? If everything was OK before, check the wheel lugs are tightened.

This is from the factory service manual: Liftgate Trim Panel.pdf This is for the removal of the rear light bar: Reversing Lamp RI.pdf I noticed there is sometimes a squeaking noise from rubbing between the lightbar and the rear lift gate. Might want to check it. Pushing on the lightbar against the liftgate would sometimes produce the squeak. Another possibly squeak, is from the pano roof between the glass and the wheatherstripping, especially the rear end, cleaning & silicone spray lube fixes it.

Just a comment from my experience with the 2011 MKX, although the fans come on with A/C, they run at a faster speed when ambient temperature was 30-32 degrees Celsius.

I can't really comment on the Grand Cherokee's reliability except the general Fiat Chrysler reliability in general, but the Grand Cherokee is more "Off-Road worthy" than any Edge. Since you have a Sport I don't think you are an off-road person, hence just look at it, test drive it (a long test drive, especially that you step son works there) & buy what you like more.

Got some night pictures with the parking lights disabled as per the above post..

Like how Honda reintroduced the Passport as a shorter 2 row Pilot, maybe Ford will do something similar with the next generation Edge basing it on the Explorer, especially that the Fusion is no more.

I posted this in in another post, but thought should also be posted here: Make the front signal bulb only function as a turn signal bulb and will not turn on with the parking lamps. Side marker will not be affected. 726-29-02 xxx* xxxx xxxx Front Turn Position Lamps Cfg: 0=Turn_Only, 1=Turn_Position Explanation: 0: (stock) The front signal bulb will function as a turn signal bulb only. 1: The front signal bulb will function as a turn signal (at full brightness) and as a parking light (reduced brightness) Now with the ignition/engine on i have the small LED side markers on & the signature lights on the bumper. Now the issue with this is when turning the parking lights on with ignition/engine off, the signatures lights don't come on, so there would only be the LED side markers. Another thing I tried and worked, but not really useful for me: 726-29-02 x*xx xxxx xxxx DRL Position Lamp Cfg: 0=DRL_Only, 1=DRL_Position, 2=Fixed DRL Position, 3=Stop Turn What I tried:: 0: (stock) The stand alone DRL will function normally (for me with HID the DRL are the dedicated bulbs). 1: The DRL will work normally in addition to also turn on with the parking lights. This worked for me. 2 & 3: I don't know & forget to try! Edit: tried 2 & 3 and got configuration errors.

Found out how to do it. Stumbled on the below video, just did the opposite and worked. Basically, the ForScan changes are (from the 2015-18 F150 sheet): 726-29-02 xxx* xxxx xxxx Front Turn Position Lamps Cfg: 0=Turn_Only, 1=Turn_Position Edit to explain: 0: (stock) The front signal bulb will function as a turn signal bulb only. 1: The front signal bulb will function as a turn signal (at full brightness) and as a parking light (reduced brightness) Now with the ignition/engine on i have the small LED side markers on & the signature lights on the bumper. Now the issue with this is when turning the parking lights on with ignition/engine off, the signatures lights don't come on, so there would only be the LED side markers.

Where did you buy it from? Shouldn't that be fixed before it was sold? I remember they were put on hold until they were fixed.

Just to be on the safe side, check that the ABD is setup correctly. I don't remember reading here of a similar issue, cooled seats only going to level 2 or 1 only and skipping 3. Sounds like a programming thing.

Does it have to be dried out? Can't he just add washer/anti freeze concentrate to mix-up with what is already in the tank? I know what water left in the hoses won't mix, but the rest would, right? I have no experience with snow related issues though, just wondering.

That is for turning off the engine in case of a long idle period, not sure it was 30 minutes or not. Even if you disable it, it will only be disabled for the current engine cycle (next time you restart the engine it will revert back to enabled). It is meant to turn off the engine in case you forgot to, which might happen with people not yet used to push button start.

ForScan can also make the tire size changes.

@TheWizard Saw that too, good point. I would also say you're probably right, but disconnecting the parking light input from the headlight would also kill the side marker.

@TheWizard A normal switchback would usually get power for parking light all the time, and temporary for the signal. Hence in parking light mode (1 power source) the bulb is white. In turn signal mode (2 power sources simultaneously) the bulb goes Amber Intel the 2nd power source stops for some set period of time. The thing with the Edge's 7440 bulb, the single filament will always have power whether it was in parking light mode or turn signal. So how would the switchback bulb know it is not in turn signal mode? Unless it was specifically designed for this case (varying output single filament).

It seems to be Ford's new direction for interiors as it has resemblance to the 2019 Focus, in my opinion.

I meant only the parking light bulb that is shared with the turn signal, can it be made to only function as the turn signal & then to turn off when the parking lights are on. If it were a dual filament bulb then I'd just disconnect the wire for the parking light. DRL is a separate issue, not related, though for my Edge as it has HID I have a separate bulb for it & I already replaced it with a LED bulb.

Instead of switchbacks, I was wondering if there is a possibility to disable the front parking light (the one with the signal bulb) and keep the signal (and side marker), it seems to be redundant since there is already the signature lighting from the bumper.

As per Monroe's product info, these are "engineered to match your vehicle’s OE-specified ride and handling profile", but Monroe does not have specific applications for Sport models nor for AWD/FWD specifics. OEM has different part numbers for Sport models and are different for AWD & FWD. Just a thought to consider.

The 2015-2018 Edge uses WY21W bulbs for the front signals, they are the same as 7440NA. The 2015 Mustang uses 7444NA, it seems that physically they fit, but they may or may not work. One main difference is that 7440 is a single filament bulb, park & signal are achieved by changing the light output intensity (not sure how, probably varying voltage). 7444 has dual filaments. This site claims that LED 7443 can replace 7440, if true then you can use the Mustangs LED bulb. Better check with the seller.

With the 2015 model year, the difference compared to 2014 was so substantial that this argument wouldn't be applicable. Even the 2010 to 2011, the difference was not insignificant. The 2018 to 2019 had the least significant changes in the Edge's makeovers, in my opinion. By the way, I like the ability to highlight text and then quote it directly. Nice addition to the forum's update.
