  1. My 2024 has the cooler, and I used the suction method to get the fluid out. I wanted to remove the cooler but the studs to remove it are basically impossible to get a socket or wrench on so I gave up.
  2. I'm getting ready to start an air suspension install this weekend on my 2024ST. I've been doing a lot of searching and can't find any threads regarding people putting an air suspension on an edge. Am I just not searching the right place or with the right keywords? I can't find any threads, anybody have any pointers for me? Thanks.
  3. I just thought I would write a quick post about some maintenance that I performed yesterday. I am on my second edge ST now coming from a 2020 to a 2024. I've got about 16,500 miles currently. Yesterday I did a complete fluid change. The radiator fluid tested fine and was pretty easy to swap. The rear differential was very dark, almost black and the new fluid is a caramel color so it was definitely at the end of its life. The PTU wasn't as bad, but definitely a dark, dark brown whereas the new fluid again is a caramel color. I also figured that it would be a good idea to do a transmission drain and fill since I've been getting a hard 1-2 shift. The transmission fluid definitely had a slightly burnt smell to it and was nearly black and the new fluid is a red color. Just a heads up to anybody who is wondering about the maintenance intervals that Ford recommends, I would definitely do them early. I got all of those fluids from rock Auto for about $100.
  4. Thank you. I don’t mind paying to have it activated but I can’t stomach paying to get such a simple thing installed. I can’t even find instructions for it.
  5. This weekend I’m going to be tearing apart the rear sub area and doors to put sound insulation in, but I’m wondering if anyone has used the Cerwin Vega spare tire subwoofer? There is also a kit on eBay with a custom box and 10 inch sub for the spare area. Anyone have experience with either one? Thanks
  6. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this forum as well as the Fusion forum and other Facebook posts, but I’d like to see if anyone has a more definitive and straightforward answer. As the title suggests, I would like to upgrade my cluster on my 2024 Edge ST to a digital cluster that came on the MKX or possibly even an Explorer unit. Does HKanybody have a definitive point of contact or person that does this for a fee, and is a plug-in play affair? I have ForScan light, but I don’t have the full ForScan program at this time. Thanks in advance and I appreciate all the help.
  7. I have a 2024 Edge ST and I would like to add the factory perimeter alarm ML3Z-19A361-A. Does anyone know if it’s a simple plug and play or if I need to get it coded? TIA
  8. I was thinking the same thing, pop it off and hit the sharp edge with a file.
  9. There are three fuses on the top of the battery terminal. Did you check those?
  10. I PMed you about this, check it please and get back to me.
  11. Mine is a 2014 Sport and it works fine. I just step on the brake and push start. Looks like a dealer visit for you buddy.
  12. Do you have the part number handy? I want to see if these will fit my 2014 Sport
  13. It sounds like you may have a bad CV joint. When the bearings go bad you develop play in the joint. Jack your car up (ramps are better) and grab your half shaft(s) and wiggle them. There should be no play. Good luck Nate
  14. So I just received my Kensun HIDs that I ordered from Amazon this week. I also ordered the relay and will be posting the install in pictures. I ordered with the assurance that there is a 2 year warranty on the kit and lifetime on the ballasts. It is a 55w/5000K kit and I paid $70 shipped. The ballasts are the digital slims, and they are fairly weighty. The wiring is of a pretty thick gauge and the kit seems generally well put together. I'll let you know as I go. Nate
  15. Sorry bro, that's $200 over the new price on EBay. You might want to drop that price and you'll get some takers.
  16. So this is a one week impression of the AWD sport. First off, mileage, I started out at about 14mpg, added a K&N panel filter and now I'm sitting at about 18.5 after 500 miles of break-in. I had a 2011 Sport FWD base model for a year and I must say that the features on my new one (which is completely loaded) are awesome! BLIS, driver convenience key, powered tailgate and the Vista Roof are all great. The AWD is also really nice to have as I always thought that my previous Sport was having a really hard time putting power down, now I just punch it and it goes! I've got quite a bit of boxes coming, DriveBright tails-DRLS-HIDs, magnaflow exhaust, ADDCO sway bar and H&R springs. There is a local tuner here in Phoenix that wants to try to adapt the Mustang supercharger, but I'm worried the PTU won't take the power. We'll see. Cheers Nate
  17. Thanks, just little tricks learned from years of mistakes.
  18. Try this. Buy a can of waterproof silicone lubricant, take off your front wheels and spray the area where the spring meets the top strut hat where the rubber bushing is (no WD-40 or oil based lube!). Also spray at the bottom where the spring meets the lower strut collar and see if the noise goes away. A little trick you can do is to buy some spiral cable loom, jack up the front to uncompressed the spring, and thread the spiral loom onto the bottom where it meets the lower strut collar.
  19. Wow, that's a lot of issues. Conversely, I have a 2011 Sport with 60,000 miles that has never has 1 issue. No PTU seals, no audio or Sync issues, nada. As for performance, I put an AFE dry filter in it, and my GTech pro says 6.5-6.7 to 60 consistently. With a Tribeca running about 7.8 to 60 under perfect conditions, I doubt you get "smoked". But hey, good luck with the repairs and remember that you would spend $10-20 thousand more for a comparable import such as an X3 Sport, X5 sport 3.0, Audi Q5 3.2, ML350 or the like and have just as many or more issues. My "other" car is a 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8, maybe you should take a look at that, I smoke everything under an $80 grand window sticker (except those pesky Corvettes). I get 12 MPG doing it, but its fun! Good luck
  20. No leaks at all. Check to make sure that your o-rings in the tire pressure sensors are not over tightened. When wheels are swapped the "tire pros" tend to over tighten them and they leak. One quarter turn past finger tight, with a dab of red loc-tite. If you have band sensors, have the tires removed and re-seated, ask them to use a little extra tire bead wax (the stuff they smear to help the machine).
  21. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but aside from getting a different sound from the air box, this is not much of a performance mod. With the snorkel removed you are sucking in hot air from directly behind the radiator. If the sound is what you are after, use the airbox silencer delete plug from Steeda made for the 3.5 Fusion.
  22. Don't I know it! My first priority this morning was to have it fixed. I was in a hurry to leave Friday and didn't look at the printout. Here is the new one.
