The procedure I've used since a teen back in the 60's: park car on level ground, start the engine and let it run (until fans come.) Shift into each gear. Hold for a few seconds between shifts. Return to park. Shut the engine off. Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe, reinsert, remove again and check level. On some current Ford models, you'll need to partly disassemble the engine to reach the dipstick. (OK, that's an exaggeration, but it just kills me how stupid some engineers are. On my 3.5 its easily accessible and prominent. It screams "here I am, pull my finger". On others, "nothing to see here, move along".)

Possible Causes could be worn Transmission bands, a problem with the TCM or software and low or worn out transmission Fluid. It's possible the torque converter didn't have enough fluid to transfer power properly. Also transmission solenoids control fluid flow and a faulty solenoid can cause erratic shifts. Possible easy fixes are doing another drain & fill and/or reflashing the TCM. My suspicion is the previous owner didn't change the xmission properly. Which makes me think that they may not have done any maintenance. I'd be cautious and CHANGE ALL FLUIDS. •Have you checked for transmission codes? (Might narrow it down if a code was set.) •How many miles are on car?

Ford DTC C0090:71-24 indicates a problem related to the AWD Power Transfer Unit Actuator. The code and sub-codes 71-24 usually indicates a short circuit. (It can also be a faulty actuator motor or a problem within the AWD module itself.) It triggers an "AWD Fault Service Required" message and switches the car into Front Wheel Drive mode. (Other messages such as "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available" or "Hill Start Assist Not Available" might also display.)

Are Ford Edge 1st gen and 2nd gen parts interchangeable?
enigma-2 replied to sushi4evo's topic in Accessories & Modifications
The simple answer is possibly. (I seriously doubt no one here can give you a realistic answer.) Why not just go with the MKX? Outside the Sync 2 (which isn't anything you really need) the 09 Lincoln is a good upgrade over the Edge. -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I learned from experience with my radar detector, to tie the power cord to the mirror frame with a zip tie. (Strain relief.) -
HiHighly doubt you can find a replacement part. Its made by a vendor, possible one of several, and these are not designed to be parted out. Try finding a replacement at a junk yard. Try starting here (known Edge dealers) https://share.google/DIyChm6yugXCypiwW https://share.google/ARbvY7raqrLhgumfg https://share.google/sPjQTlNwCAciRBiJQ Possible eBay (one example for approx price. May not be right color but gives an idea) https://ebay.us/m/CRLXTh

I'd try a new battery. Being subjected to being underwater, probably shorted then drained the battery. Here's how to open:

First try re-regestering all four tires and see if that corrects it. Also, how old is your car? These sending units are powered by batteries and run down (I've had this happen to me.) When the batteries get worn down, they drop out for a while, then come back. Est. life is 10 years, but there's no guarantee. Heat is one of the most common factors on early failure.

Can't answer your question, too many variables. But I did look up this tire size on Tire Rack and it issued this caution. Tread patterns must often be tuned to accommodate different tire widths. While tires shipped will match your order's specifications, photos used only represent typical sizes. I have no idea as to what this means. But if i were you, I'd call them and discuss your plans (plus they're one of the best to buy from.) There are a lot of factors that go into tire size, geometry, suspension loading, shocks & struts, AdvanceTrec, etc. Plus your new diameter will be off by 2.8%, and the new size should be recorded in the BCM.

Yes. If you reread the previous posts. It pulls hard, but pulls up. (Video shows where the xmsn dip stick is located and how to access after the air box is removef.

I'd first suspect the compatibility with the ring voltage sensor and the new AGM battery. I Googled and the AI found if they the combo isn't compatible, or if the ring voltage sensor is defective, it can set a gen light. If you have an old lead acid battery, I'd try substitute the AGM with it and see if you still get the light.

Ford knows that eliminating features is a downgrade. They probably had to do it to gain space for some new "feature." As far where, you can try tweeting a your comments to the Ford Service account on Twitter at @FordService. You could also comment on Ford's Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/ford/ Or you can comment on their YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/Ford Go easy, Canada just stopped all shipments of steel to the US and their hurting.

First of all, Ford definitely can deny you warranty coverage by making you prove that the lubricant used is equal to the one they recommend. Assuming that they PTU lubricant is actually the US Lubricants, 300 Waylube, your Redline won't measure up (it's why is so much less expenseve.) But it may be sufficient. Don't take the word of a competitor. Get it in writing from Ford. For example, i refused to allow my local Lincoln dealer to switch my MKX from yellow coolant to the new green; until I got a printout of an email from the local Ford district administrator.

I believe that he was referring to an eBay listing for the liftgate lock assembly. There's plenty of Chinese garbage offered, I'd recommend OEM. Here one possible part you could consider: https://ebay.us/m/1QJGBD

Couldn't agree more. Ford's PTU fluid is probably the best for the unit. Anything less may turn thick under so much heat. I did some research a few years ago and believe that Ford is using US Lubricants, 300 Waylube. This lubricant is the best money can buy (which is why Ford charges so much.)
