    On my MKX, before the replacement cover, I saw oil on the intake tube up to the throttle body, though did not see it on the filter itself. I had the cover replaced at least a 18 months ago, and recently I checked & still no oil was present in the intake tube or throttle body. When you have the valve cover replaced, did you clean the whole intake tube? Maybe there was oil residue.

    @Ericalan350 Re-reading your original post, what kind of HVAC issue you had? Also, does the smell only come once you first start the A/C or air after the vehicle had been sitting for a while? If yes, then it might be a smell from a leaking evaporator.

    I don't see why dust or dirt would collect at the filler neck. I live in a dusty area and the filler area behind the fuel door is always clean. There is a gasket on the back of the fuel door that is supposed to seal the filler neck when the door is closed. Maybe the fuel door is not closing properly.

    You can find it elsewhere online. Here for example .

    The seatback doesn't cool better because the Peltier Device is in a closed cavity & the hot/warm air it mostly trapped which causes the device to get warmer air as an intake to cool. Whereas the seat bottom is open towards the floor, so it discharges warm air to the cabin & gets fresh air (cabin temperature) to cool. This is issue has been a major concern with the 2015+ F150 and also 2015+/2016+ Edge & Explorer. probably due to thinner seatbacks. TSBs were issued to revise the seatback device to include a duct/sock to allow for fresh air intake from below the seat. There is also an aftermarket solution that adds two ducts, for fresh air intake & discharge, both to below the seat.

    I believe the only benefit would be that the K&N filter is washable. So you need to calculate how many filters you need to change for the cost of one K&N filter and see if it is worth it for you based on how frequently you might change the filter.

    Did you check the AC drain hose? Maybe it is clogged & water is leaking to the carpet inside. Check this video from Mac:

    I believe Ford's main issue with the throttle body was the fact when it failed & vehicle entered limp mode, no DTC would be saved after an engine restart, leaving customers frustrated when a dealer would not be able to diagnose the problem without being able to see the symptoms. This probably elevated the concern.

    How dirty was the old Throttle Body? Did it have a lot of buildup? Especially around where the butterfly valve closes?

    Physically checking, there are 2. One in the seat back cavity & one under the seat bottom. There are no ducts or elements between the two, so no way one device will be working for both. Also, if you turn on the seat heater or cooler, both fans will start. Note: This only applies to the 2011-2015 MKX, the 2011-2014 Edge is different as it does not have seat cooling, hence I believe it has the traditional heating elements.

    License is free, but is valid for 2 months after which you need to renew it, again for free. Till when it will remain free is unknown.
  12. omar302
    The only thing I can help in is stating that there are no heating elements. The heating & cooling effects are achieved using the same Peltier device, one for the seat bottom and one for the seat back (for each seat).

    The iPhone app version of ForScan will not allow you to calibrate the camera. Only the PC version does.

    Yes, but it is a slight difference.

    Since the Throttle Body is electronic, no need for a separate idle bypass circuit or IAC. As Akirby stated, it is normal that the Throttle Body does not close 100%, it should be very slightly open. Just remove the air intake tube in your Edge & look at the stock throttle body to make sure it is the same.

    The MKX has a dimming mirror on the driver's side, hence the extra pins. I remember one member here with an MKX here who wanted to do the opposite to get the larger mirrors on his newer MKX, but he got an error from the BLIS/CTA. This is the thread.

    If you have a 2011, you probably have the regular Osram 66340 . Later on, maybe 2012/2013, they started using 66340 HBI. Searching online, HBI might stand for "High Beam Improved", but they are better than non-HBI. I found a good deal on a pair of HBIs & saw a noticable improvement. The CBIs are supposed to be even better (though I did not try them).

    HIR2 is supposedly the same as 9012.

    So that's why fog lights turn off when the high beams are turned on? Good then we have a Bambi MOD. Lol.

    No, did not fix it, yet. Just can't justify the price! The minimum for the 2 rails only without labor cost ~ $700.

    Like what Akirby stated, flashing brake lights are annoying. The way some German vehicles have it, that the brake lights and/or turn signals would flash with brakes, only in case of hard/emergency braking, in my opinion is the right way, especially the amber turn signals.

    For a 2011 Edge with intelligent access (push button start), a fob from a 2011-2015 Explorer, 2013+ Taurus/MKS or 2013+ Flex/MKT would work. Off course not to forget the 2011-2015 MKX. In short, any fob that looks the same & has the same frequency (315 or 433 MHz) in USA I believe most use or all use 315MHz. Edit: with 1 key available, you can't program it yourself. Need a dealer or a key shop with the right equipment.

    +1 Also did it on the Taurus. At the time I found one of the Toshiba bulbs that had a ball shaped glass around the filament.
  24. omar302
    If it uses H11, you can easily upgrade to H9 with simple modifications. I did this when had my 2008 Taurus, I did not even have to cut the upper lugs. The difference is very noticeable, but they do have a shorter life.

    This is from IIHS ratings for the 2017 Lincoln MKX: Factory LED: Factory HID: This case is similar for many other cars, factory HID illuminates more than factory LED. Edit: Direct comparison:
