Any information on the symptoms chart mentioned? Is it something I can follow to know if it is really the PTU?
-
Would a driveline clunk on accelerator tip in be caused by this? Dealer used to tell it is normal. It is similar to what rear wheel drive cars get when the rear diff had too much play.

Anyone successfully cleaned the inside of a gunked up PTU?

2015 Edge fob self actvates in pocket
omar302 replied to rurick's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
On the 2013+ Fusion there is mod using ForScan (as built data) that can disable the key fob Panic button, change it 2 presses or change it to lights only. Since the values for 2015+ Edge are in my cases similar to the 2013+ Fusion, it might be worth a try. (Under "Panic Alarm Setting") Also, there is an option for "Auto Re-Lock Doors" which would re-lock the vehicle if no door was opened after 45 seconds from unlocking. Also worth a try on the 2015+ Edge. 2GFusions - Ford As-Built Data Mods (DanMc85) -
Mine is a 2011 MKX, on ETIS it lists "With Ambient Lighting-Interior" In any case, MFT (MyFord Touch) versions 3.7 & above resolve the issue of TSB 14-0175 without any other action. So don't worry about it.

First thing to do is read the trouble codes with a OBD2 reader since the CEL comes on. Does try to guess it.

AC Suddenly Stopped Blowing Cold Air
omar302 replied to tamugrad2013's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
The 2.0 EcoBoost uses a different transmission compared to the 3.5/3.7L. I think it was 6F35 Vs. 6F50. So transmission issues are really different between them. -
The PTU/PTO is only on AWD (vehicles that are based on FWD). So yes, your Sport will have it since it is an AWD,if I recall correctly, 2016+ Sport comes only in AWD. Only 2015 models came in FWD or AWD.

Power Transfer Unit, or I read sometimes it's called a Power Take-off (PTO). Basically, it's like a differential between the transmission & rear diff. It is bolted behind the transmission, then sends power to the rear via the drive shaft.

2012 MKX come out to car unlocked?
omar302 replied to Schmidty1284's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Glad I was able to help. -
Tune it. Going more than a tune and I believe you risk seriously damaging the drivetrain, mainly the transmission & PTU. As some members already did, a tune will add a lot to the 2.7L.

2012 MKX come out to car unlocked?
omar302 replied to Schmidty1284's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
On eBay they have fob cases, approximately $10/-. They might be of low quality but you can use the button pad in your case. Example: http://m.ebay.com/itm/272587843112 -
enigma, yes that's true, was just stating how obvious that the Sport not being offered the tow package was not engine related and that it was specific to the Sport trim. Though for the <2015 MKX, you couldn't get the tow package with 22" wheels, so that might be a reason for 2011-2014 Edge Sport since they came standard with 22" wheels. But it doesn't explain the 2015+ since it comes standard with 20" wheels. Edited due to typos.

Also the same 2.7L in the current Sport and the 3.7L from the previous Sport on the mechanically identical MKX when equipped with the Tow package were rated for 3500 lbs. Ford just doesn't want to offer the Tow Package on the Sport. Also, note that the Tow Package's mainly adds additional cooling, so it is NOT recommended to tow more than 2000 lbs in the Sport due to lack of the additional cooling.

2012 MKX come out to car unlocked?
omar302 replied to Schmidty1284's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Just some random thoughts: Maybe there is some dirt or grease on the inside of the driver's door handle causing it to trigger an unlock request. Do you get the shift to park message (bad shifter) or door ajar warning? I once had an issue when I remote stated the MKX it would turn off immediately or after a few seconds, turned out the flexible plate under the start button of the fob had moved slightly and caused the fob to send wrong signals. -
Reverse aid sensor gone bad??
omar302 replied to jonesboys310's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Did you try disconnecting it & clean the connectors? Try switching between 2 sensors to make sure it is really a bad sensor. -
BAMR accordion gasket
omar302 replied to enigma-2's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
I believe they it is connected (if similar to my 2011), it could disconnect while opening the sunroof, not while closing it. The front end of the "accordion gasket" is supposed to be lodged inside a opening in the plastic on the of top the rail at the front. It does not move move with the sunroof, but there is a slider on the top of the "accordion gasket" which is connected to the sunroof, that slides with the sunroof. Sorry I can't take a picture because i don't open my sunroof anymore because of the broken rail sliders. -
Dual Climate Control Repair
omar302 replied to finzup's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
The side that is not responding to temperature control is the one you need the actuator for. But as mentioned before, first try to disconnect & reconnect the actuator, some have reported that it fixed the issue for them, at least for while. This should also re-confirm to you that it is actually the actuator. -

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
omar302 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
My 2011 MKX does. Useless complication if you ask me. If I'm not mistaken, all 2011-2012 & early 2013 MKX have it. Late build 2013 models & 2014-2015 switched to a single piece armrest with a slight re-design of the cup holders. -
You can easily find one on eBay for a little less than $200. But you need to know which one you have, the larger mirror used in 2007-2010 models & early 2011 builds, or the newer smaller mirror used on later models. Also check if you have BLIS (with an led indicator) or a spotter mirror. Does it have the turn signal light? And last, memory seat.

My advise is to forget that dealer & go to another one.
