Anyone here with 200k+ miles got a badge from Ford? https://twitter.com/Ford/status/910149175995781120

Mac, did you try to glue the disc on the old remote first? It worked for me. What is strange is that your unlock button, seems you use it a lot, why not just pull the door handle & utilize the smart keyless entry? On my fob, the remote start button failed, and it is the one I press the most (double click to remote start).

One more "plug", those in need of an APIM replacement could consider upgrading to Sync3, the price difference is surely worth it. Maybe Jason could make us a special forums member prices .

Jason, who is a member here has a website, http://www.fordpimods.com/navigation-mft.html, that sells used APIM for adding NAV with the programming required to suit your vehicle for $650/-. Seems to be a much better deal than your dealer.

I would expect you have 1 blend door, not 100% sure. But, does the driver side get hot when you turn the heat on? If yes, the then the blend door is working (changing temp), I'd then say your low on Freon. I faced a similar issue where the driver side was warmer than the passenger side & it was due to low Freon, apparently it causes the evaporator to cool unevenly hence one side colder than the other.

Is the A/C button pressed (illuminated)? Then yes, the compressor will run even if it's on HI. This is usually to remove humidity from the air. The actuator when stuck (malfunctioning) could be stuck at any location.

Non taken. Just like what WWWPerfA_ZN0W stated, Ford recommends 10W-30 here. I know it is much colder there, but doesn't the engine still run hot? At its operating temperature? Wouldn't it overheat without coolant or cooling fans? The engine's temperature is still very hot even in cold climates.

There are 2 blend doors & actuators to control temperature for each side. So if one side is not changing temperature, it would be from the actuator on that side. Edit: WWWPerfA_ZN0W, just saw your reply.

Just go with Ford's recommendation, 5w-20 blend. Fully synthetic is definitely better, but not required. But whatever they told you about fully synthetic I believe is non-sense. I actually remember that the reason fully synthetic oil wasn't recommended for older engine was due to its ability to clean out build ups around worn engine seals and hence causing leaks.

I'd say they are covered, but don't go to the dealer asking for a replacement, rather complain about the oil in the intake system.

My 2011 had oil in the intake & throttle body, but it did not reach the air filter. Had it replaced under warranty after I saw the oil in the intake. But I also don't recall there was any noticeable oil consumption between changes.

I don't recall it being done here, but there is a thread about it on the Explorer forums & the keys are supposed to be similar to the Edge's (2011-2014 Edge & 2011-2015 Explorer)

Is it just me? I don't see where the difference is between the old & new covers!

@gtyates A8 maps SD card has been available for sometime now. It might have significant updates from the A7 card. http://ford.navigation.com/product/Catalog/Catalog_Ford_Explorer_2014/U.S.-AND-CANADA-SYNC-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-MAP-UPDATE-VERSION-A8/sku/GM5T-19H449-AB/en_US/FordNA/USD

I'd suggest you check with the Forscan team, maybe the cable your using is not compatible. Sending them a log might give them an idea what is going wrong.

Why don't you use your phone? You can use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto & get your phone's maps on the Edge's display.

When a Battery is replaced under warranty, the replacement Battery will will have the balance period of warranty. In other words, if a battery is replaced after 2 years from warranty start date, the replacement battery will have 1 year warranty (the balance of 3 years).

I understand your concern. You could still try to take the battery to them, if tested bad then you should get a replacement. Then sell it off or give to someone else.

Searched? The issue has been discussed many times here. It is the the blend door actuator for the side that is not working. Sometimes disconnecting it & reconnect will make it work again, or you need a replacement.

The factory installed battery is covered under warranty. It should be either the new car warranty (3 years / 36k miles) or the Motorcraft 3 year warranty / 100 months pro-rata. Which is it supposed to be? I'm not sure, but I know I had mine replaced under warranty when it failed & the MKX was nearly 2 years old.

As far as I have read, this applies to the newer Fords, so for the Edge it only applies to 2015+ models, not the older models.

Thanks. Mine was a "7", changed it to "9" for 4-flashes, 2 days later returned it to stock as I couldn't get used to the extra flash . Your original battery is supposed ti be still under warranty! Why pay to change it?

If it's broken, it probably is the plastic part that the clip goes on, hence you won't be able to put the clip back on. Maybe try to use some double sided tape. As far as I know, the clips do not come separately. Couldn't find them online.

So to remove the D3S bulb just rotate counterclockwise & clockwise to install? It just feels not very secure, I thought there might be something I am doing wrong. Reading only for other makes (including other Fords), there always seems to be some sort of tabs or screws to secure the bulbs. Also, nothing on the method of operation/diagnosis for the adaptive function?
