Further to akirby, what fan did you use for the replacement? Several members complained of non-Motorcraft fans giving them problems.

Thanks. Also, please confirm if the green, yellow & red blocks of the rear sensing system also appear.

Please keep updated. That will be a breakthrough & would save many a lot of $$. Can you post pictures of the camera?

2011 Ford Edge HVAC touchscreen phantom clicks
omar302 replied to bigmak40's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
First, you can easily find a used one for much cheaper on eBay. Second, you can try to disconnect it to confirm if the issue goes away. If it does, try removing it & clean it. Check this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22667-what-a-mistake-it-was-to-buy-an-edge/page-2?do=findComment&comment=171727 -
If it is heat only, then it's the driver's side blend door actuator. You can try to disconnect it then reconnect it, it could solve it for a while, otherwise you'll need to replace it.

My Ford Touch New Software Release
omar302 replied to tjbron's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
As far as I know, and from all official releases, the update files were always the same for NAV & non-NAV versions. Edit: for Sync 3, yes, there are different update files for NAV & non-NAV, but not for MFT (Sync version 2). -
Hazard warning lights turn on by themselves
omar302 replied to hilokamper's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
Might want to try the solution in this post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22667-what-a-mistake-it-was-to-buy-an-edge/page-2?do=findComment&comment=171727 -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Installed these stickers for the driver's door keypad buttons due to the worn out numbers. Used the instructions in this post with a 15cm long flathead screw driver. Also since I was afraid the numbers would not lit up uniformly as the font/size do not match, I decided to rub off the old numbers completely using nail filer. outcome is OK, not quite like a new keypad, but nonetheless much better than before. The worn out keypad: All buttons erased: Put the stickers on 4 buttons: Finished: Finished at night: -
The vista roof front glass has what is like 4 legs (2 front + 2 back). The part number provided (number 14 in the diagram, right 7T4Z78502M78A & left 7T4Z78502M79A) though are described as "Slide Rail Front Extension" they look like the rear legs of the vista roof. The front legs look to be part of the rails (number 11, Lift Channel, right 7T4Z78502C06A & left 7T4Z78502C07A-"with a photo" for 2007-2010) and they more than $300 each!! My 2011 MKX is in the same situation, but didn't disconnect the switches (yet) since the shade still works & the roof can tilt & close, but if slide opened would not close. Would be a great middle solution if I can only disable the slide function & leave the tilt & shade functions working.

Unfortunately, many dealers & mechanics prey on uninformed & inexperienced customers. Makes a case for those to buy new cars with long warranties. For the Hazard button, check this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22667-what-a-mistake-it-was-to-buy-an-edge/page-2?do=findComment&comment=171971 A new alternator is about $230 and both belts about $30. So this means they are charging ~ $680 for labor to change them, I think that's a little high. And definitely don't do the other things. http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2011/ford/edge/limited-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/maintenance-and-lubrication-cat/belts-and-pulleys-scat http://www.tascaparts.com/ford/edge/8g1z10346a/2011-year/limited-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/electrical-cat/alternator-scat/?part_name=alternator

What about the engine belt? Could be slipping?

Emergency flasher button stuck
omar302 replied to Joninotown1's topic in Forum Help & Site Suggestions
WWWPerA_ZN0W, yes searching here is sometimes difficult, I was able to find by searching my own posts since was relatively recent, and it's a good thread as the OP was able to fix his issue without replacing it. -
Glad it worked out for & good info that sure will be useful to others.

Thanks for the usual updates & information. But having the Lincoln MKX & MKT mentioned in the SSM when there are no MKX or MKT models equipped with the 6F35 Transmission is concerning. Gives the impression their own data is not reliable, who knows what other information they have is incorrect & how it might affect things, in a bad way.

2016 Smart Charging USB Ports?
omar302 replied to dcaton's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
You can't assume that it only draws 500ma based on it not being recognized as an "AC" port. An "AC" port means no data, while the Edge/Ford hub is still an actual USB port (data) regardless of the actual power it provides. Seems you Engineering field is not into electronics . -
Leaving fob in car ??
omar302 replied to Blmkso's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
enigma-2, newer Lincolns do have what they call "Lincoln welcome lighting" & "Approach Detection" that does exactly what you described. So yes, the car should be continuously scanning for a "transmitting" fob without touching the door handle. -

This is from the 2011 Owners Manual, not sure it still applies, but you can try: -

omar302 replied to Blmkso's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
How long did you wait after locking? I think it takes some time before the alarm is enabled & fob is disabled. Also, it might be different being a 2015+. -
The 2011-2014 (& 2015 MKX) are known for having a heavy steering, especially compared to vehicles with electrically assisted steering system. Not sure about the 2007-2010 as I have not driven one.

omar302 replied to Blmkso's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
That is strange. Your MKX is a 2009, right? It has a normal key, nothing being broadcasted. -
And as per mact's for strut mounts always stick with Motorcraft.

Service department in Lubbock Tx
omar302 replied to Jessicabunyard's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
The extended warranty for the APIM is 5 years from date of original purchase. Check that date & see if your car is still under that period. If not, you might want to look for a used one online, much cheaper than new. Like what chef stated above, your main reason for what you faced is the specific dealer or service guy you dealt with. -
2016 Smart Charging USB Ports?
omar302 replied to dcaton's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Quick charging per smartphone standards is a technology that allows the phone to charge at voltage higher than the standard USB 5V. In case of the Qualcomm Quick Charge (2.0-3.0), the voltage will reach up to 12V. In this case your phone will report "quick Charging" or "Rapid Charging" (or similar). Ford's smart charging is simply a higher wattage (up to 2amps), in this case your phone will charge faster than a standard 500ma USB port, but it will not report it as "Quick" or "Rapid" because it is still a standard 5V input. -

An easier way to test, leave the window open and work through it. Sit inside and lock using the keypad then test. Edit: note you have a 2015/2016 Edge, mine is a 2011. So they might work differently, but good to know how it will work.
