Looks good... What kind of prep work did you do to it?

I need to do this too but want to paint it the same as it was when new, How'd this come out? Any pictures?

Thanks... that is the same handle for me.

Can you post up the part number please?

I have the same thing happening only no cuts so far. I have been thinking about some type of glue.

Ticked off to say there least but yesterday a piece of slate similar to the material of a clay pigeon flew up from the highway from under the car in front of me and smacked my front bumper resulting in, what I call, spider cracks in the paint. I buffed out most of the scratches but the paint cracks, I don't know of any means to repair other than repainting the bumper although I am hoping someone has a trick. If not, guess I'll live with it for now until I can get the bumper off and have it painted. Thoughts?

I have been having trouble getting my phone to pair since WP8.1 came out and I got that working, I think. One recommendation was to pull the fuse... my fingers can't get in there and hold onto the tool so I just disconnected the battery for the swame effect. No big deal but my SAT1, SAT2 and SAT3 are GONE! Did the restore to default settings, nope, nothing. Did the master reset, nope, nothing. Going on a road trip where radio reception is sparce at best so I'd like to have it working. Any thoughts? I did a search but didn't see anything that adressed the issue unless I overlooked it.

Totally agree with akirby especially on the older Edge's like the 07 thru 10 (don't know much about the newer models). I think you'd be very happy with CAI, tune, exhaust and better brakes. I have a performance vehicle and was pleasantly surprised at how the Edge handles... it's tempting to want more HP but there are plenty of mods that will make you happy without compromising the drivetrain. It would be great if the SHO motor was an option on future vehicles but I think the best we're going to get is the Ecoboost 4 cylinder.

I have 96k on my Edge now and it's time to change plugs and PCV... both seem straight forward. What plugs do you guys use or recommend. There is a $2.50 rebate on the Autolight irridium plugs that brings the cost down to $4.59 but I also have a supeercharged vehicle and used to put those in and dumped them in favor NGK TR6 plugs at a couple of bucks. Won't work here but is irridium worth it? Also, based on your experiences, is it necessary to change the intake gaskets? These things normally are good but I thought I'd through it out there and see what y'all have done. PCV... there were some thread on this and I am good there but would certainly take any tips if ya got'em. Thanks, Rick

Yup, that would qualify as a "missed it"!

akirby, yup, read em and the one you referrenced. Just none of them specifically said anything about one fan not working, unless I missed it. This site is awesome and the input is valuable. I can get the Dorman module from RockAuto for 135.79. Not familiar with Dorman and RockAuto and prices range from 124 to 279 (Motocraft).

Looks like this thread died without any reslove. Any chance we can reopen it and get some responses to it? I am having the same issue and need to diagnose the problem and repair it. I have done a search and found good info but like Carlozv, I have yet to see the second fan come on. Should both fans be on with the A/C running upon startup or does the engine temp need to raise before the 2nd fan comes on? Fan on the drives side comes on when engine is started and A/C is on. Any help on this is appreciated!

Props to this forum!!!! All of a sudden my sun shade decided to go wacky. Won't open with the window while the window opens. To open it you have to hold the switch down and it will jerk to the open position and there are more examples but why go there. The fix from above did the job. No idea what it decided to fail but all is well now. Hope it stays that way. THANKS

This is EXACTLY what I am looking for! I was going back and forth about leaving the Ford emblum origninal or to Plasti Dip it too. You have given me food for thought. Thanks for the input!

I searched on Plasti Dip and didn't find a thing. Didn't search for how to remove the front facia.

Hey y'all... I am want to Plasti Dip the chrome front facia and the chrome wheels on my '08 Limited. My son did this to his '14 Subaru Outback and gotta admit, it looks good. First off, has anyone used Plasti Dip and what was your experience? Any pointers? Acording to the website it looks striaght forward. Secondly, the front chrome facia. I'd like to take it of to spray it and I actually removed the upper fasteners to see what I would be in for. It looks like the facia is secured by screws to the lower bumber cover. Does anyone have access to some sort of manual that will give me an idea on how to do this? I can mask it off and leave it on the vehicle but that is only if I can't find a way to take it off safely. My Edge is white so I am going with flat black to match the lower cladding around the vehicle. Sort of like a Sport model that wasn't available in '08. Thoughts? I appreciate the input.

It's been a while since I have been to the site but I thought the only update was the v1.1, please let me know where I can access the earlier update and I'll give it a try. Great info and THANKS!!!

Just an update... blower motor has been running perfect with not a single failure. Sort of happy but not looking forward to when it does fail again.

Wow... I don't have any idea other than a ground or a module. As for a ground, I hope someone has a wiring diagram for you. Hopefully someone will pipe in soon and help out. Best of luck to you.

Info to have for sure but the dang thing worked for a couple of months right after I bought the car. Then something weird happend? I guess I'd like to know if other phones that are paired if they set the ring tone to the phones, does it work or not? Everything lse is good but this.

I bought this vehicle used for my wife and I am very impressed. I don't think there have been any updates to the SYNC software so it is still running 1.0, however... from what I have read, that is not much of an issue. Here's my problem. The ringer defaults to gawd awful SYNC default which will wake the dead! This was not always the case. When I first paired my phone to SYNC, the ringer on my phone was what SYNC used. Somewhere along the line, I got an update for the WP software and it may have been circumstantial or coincidence, but I think it was after that my ringer went to that funky loud ringer. Which is odd since you would have had to select the ringer setting in SYNC and not the phone. I have tried all three ringer options in SYNC plus the forth option for SYNC to default to my phones ringer. The funky ringer values will work although none are acceptable and the forth doesn't do anything. I even used the ringer off function which produced nothing as in "off". So using my phones default ringer flat doesn't work when it once did. I have removed the phone and re-paired it via BT. I have reset the entire system to factory. I have removed ALL BT devices. I have searched this board and the SYNC board and I haven't seen a post specific to this or I may have missed the post. Any suggestions is appreciated! Rick

Keep me posted on this... mine has yet to fail again since it started working. I suspect it is the blower but more info the better. Good luck and I hope you fixed it once and for all!!!

gbergkamp, not sure on the testing procedure but I was just going to get my volt meter out and start playing until I get an idea what's going on, then post it up for feedback. For me, once the system fails again, I will verify voltage is coming to the fan assy. If that test is negative, then I have a problem upline in the EATC and I don't have the foggiest idea how to test that. My inclination is to just order parts! However, I haven't gotten to the first test and I totally understand the cold. Tonights low here is 14. Fortunately the blower has been running everyday but the day we came home from the airport which was a week ago today. I did pull the filter our and make sure there wasn't something obstruction the fan. Oddly, it has been working fine but there wasn't an obstruction so I doubt that has anything to do with it. Verey frustrating. One time it failed I was driving and hit a pot hole. Dang thing came on right afterwards making me think I have a lose connection. Haven't checked that yet but I have reached under the dash and wiggled anythig I could get my hands on when it failed again and to no avail, nothing. Very intermittent and frustrating. Let me know if you see a pattern or stumble on a fix and I will do the same!!

See if this works... first pic I have uploaded to this board.
