Really Dead Battery after 24 hours
enigma-2 replied to cameracarl's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
Q. How many dimes does it take to make a battery? I have a Solar BA-7 and it showed my (old) battery was failing. Had it tested at local Ford dealer with a coupon and it passed with flying colors. TWICE! Failed about a month after the second check. Dealerships don't have the proper testers to test a modern battery. Their tester measures voltage and a with modern car you muse measure capacity. So that's my $0.10 worth. -
If your thinking of DIY this video shows you how (just be aware that you are going to LOOSE a LOT of light at night. If your looking at a full replacment, Ebay is full if units: https://www.ebay.com/b/Headlights-for-2007-Ford-Edge/33710/bn_87011018

Really Dead Battery after 24 hours
enigma-2 replied to cameracarl's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
Makes me wonder. This dealer originally told you that the battery was good. And later, after ACTUALLY checking it, discovered it was bad .... I would have a talk with the service manager. -
Ok, got about 1000 miles of driving on the rental. Strange buzzing, rattle driving me nuts. Can't seem to pin down where it's coming from. Passenger thought it was coming from the consul. Don't care for the radio (not Revel). No goodies, can't park itself. Don't like having to use touch screen for (nearly) everything. But tens for temp +/- too small. Getting 23.0 in Cascades (mostly I-90 at 80 mph). Great beer in local brewerys. Great food in Cascades. Visited Rosyln where they filmed Northern Exposure. Know the moose in the opening credits? He was stoned. Guy had a banana tied to a stick and walked around town. Moose loved banana's and followed him all over town. That scene was filmed at 3 an. Couldn't take down the Rosyln sign, so the changed it to Rosyln's Cafe. Totem pole is still there. Local kids had no idea how long it was there, old timer told us the crew of show made it. Sad the kids who grew up there had no sense of their history. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, up around Snoqualmie Pass there's a place called "The Commonwealth". Stop. Great food and locally brewed beer. Really great food. They will make any sandwich vegetarian. (My son). He loved his sandwitch. I loved the beer which is brewed next door. I had a sausage sandwich and the sausage is made locally. Made two trips. Also visited the site where they filmed Twin Peaks. It's in North Bend, Wa. The cafe shown is a real greasy spoon. Love Washingon. Great people, great attitude, very friendly place (except for Seattle proper).

Really Dead Battery after 24 hours
enigma-2 replied to cameracarl's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
It was reported on other models / years that keeping the IA FOB inside or too close to the car causes it to wake up and remain awake until the battery is drained. Others reported that the ACM was turning itself on and draining the battery quickly. The fix was to replace the ACM (Audio Control Module). Believe I read somewhere that Ford issued a bulletin on this as it was happening on so many cars. Don't recall this happening on the 2018 though. -
See if this video from Mactfordedge video on this same program.

13N02 - Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster
enigma-2 replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
Mine wasn't qualified either. It was covered under the extended warranty I had at that time. -
Drove hard today in the mountains. Avg 23 mpg. Has Hancock 19's. Not completely smooth, but not too bad. Great brakes, almost too good.
-
Uhhhhhhh, black. (Have no idea. How do I check)?

Travelling. In Seattle, got a new Edge for the week. Seems solid, very quiet and extremely smooth. Seats are hard to get out of (side bolsters too high). Not crazy about Sync 3, phone synces, but no voice with Google Maps. Great brakes, excellent acceleration.

Oh it's dry all right. The locals start whining if the humidity hits 4%. ? But anything over 108° and you will burn your fingers trying to open the car door. Man its hot. Used my shirt to open the door, leaned in and started the car. Finally able to get in after 20 minutes of ac running.

extended warranty need help!
enigma-2 replied to kowgurl98's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
Before you go to the dealer, go online aND get at least three quotes from on-line dealers. Run it for both Premium Care and Extra Care. Pick the best quote and then take THAT one to your dealer. Call ahead and make an appointment with the dealers comptroller (VP or whoever handles the money). Allow him to present his offers and then tell him you looked on line and show him the quote(s) you printed out. (He will match as he knows you can buy the warranty from any authorized dealer.) My dealer's agent took a deep breath and immediately said he would match the price. I hesitated, looked at my watch, and he offered $0 deductible if I had the work done at their garage ($100 elsewhere). I also agreed to an inspection to verify that there was no exiting defects. Cost was $100. I agreed but insisted that the inspection be done only by the Service Manager (after all he's the best mechanic in the garage). He agreed and I signed. Inspection is usually mandatory and expect to pay 1 hour over and above the cost of the warranty. (I actually wanted a full inspection to see if anything was wrong as I was still under a Premium Care plan). -
What are these “SUPPOSED” to plug into?
enigma-2 replied to glamisridr's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Difficult to figure out based on your weak description. From what little you gave, left of the steering wheel, behind a panel, I'd guess you were looking at the cabin fuse panel. -

If your using the mobile version, switch to the "full version" at the bottom. In the full version, click on "more reply opions", then click on "choose file", browse & select the picture, then click "attack this file". -
Don't you weaken the spark when you gap plugs too small?

enigma-2 replied to kowgurl98's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
A lot can fail in 8 years. You could aways go with a warranty that covered less. Premium Care covers over 1000 different items. Extra Care covers the important parts, engine, transmission, PTU, etc. and costs a lot less. (My 09 is currently under a Extra Care.) -
Weak battery?

Squealing, whirling or clicking noise under hood on long trips
enigma-2 replied to EdgeMeNow's topic in 2017-2018 Edge & MKX
I'm not expert, but my first suspicion would be either a wheel bearing where the seal has broke, allowing water to get into the to the bearing and cause it to go bad; or a bad carrier bearing on the right front driveshaft. -
We had it on a rental in Seattle last year. After a few minutes I never noticed it. Try a test drive, doubt you would find it objectionable.

Check tire pressure?

It's not just liberals. I keep looking for 666 on his forehead. In a different country, or time, he would take power completely. And I see him trying to do now. I held my nose and voted for him, but he's a loose cannon without real morals (or understanding of what he's doing). He's like a child who's been handed a gun on a playground. He's attacks on Canada and NATO are not supportive in any way. His love of Russia goes back years. Some say they had something on him from over a decade ago. Something involving a prostitute and what happened to her. (A friend of his that has since stopped talking). Russia is a real threat to our democracy. (This is shared by both sides of the house and Senate). And they are continuing to spy even today. (Look at the news of what they did just last week). Just a little too cozy for my satisfaction. I hate to say it, as I really, really, really, really hate VP Pence. (And I'm from indiana). But I think he would make a better president. Trump is inexperienced, insecure, comprised and a spoiled brat grown up. And he will never change (as I had hoped). I respect your opinion and hope for the best, but I cannot agree.

Still leaking or all good?

Help! Master Cylinder replacement part.
enigma-2 replied to jimnkirstin's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
May use different master cylinders based on Edge models, engineering size, etc.. In looking up your car, the cylinder is listed separately from the reservoir. Here's what's listed for thr 2012 Edge Sport with the 3.7L engine. https://www.oemfordpart.com/auto-parts/2012/ford/edge/sport-trim/3-7l-v6-gas-engine/brakes-cat/hydraulic-system-scat
