  1. Ah snap, plugged in 2009 Ford Edge and they switched title for tat. Anyway. This site does offer oem parts, abet at full price. https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2009/ford/edge/sel-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/body-cat/floor-scat
  2. Good decision. Expect a bill of $400+, but necessary. If you remember, like to know what they charge for just the drain and refill.
  3. I thought it was an incredibly display of goodwill. Imagine how many cars are involved × $45/day for months. They're paying out tens of millions of dollars to protect owners of their cars. See any other automotive manufacturer's doing this?
  4. Received this letter in the mail today, advising the status of the airbag recall and offering to provide a rental car at no cost until the airbag can be replaced. Recall notice 06-04-18.pdf
  5. Several places online: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/aap-aftermarket-recyc-passenger-side-rocker-panel-rrp1488/11755977-p?c3ch=PLA&c3nid=11755977-P&adtype=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxtPYBRD6ARIsAKs1XJ5G5HVIsNwQWDfkRAU1NSGP-L616O38IlJVnuUXt_OWYoSq59WUbmsaAuoJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#
  6. Reading WWWPerfA_ZNOW's reference to the previous thread, several others who installed Dorman fans had problems with the connector. It appears that the connector needs to be forced on past tight, by pushing on o..n..e.. m..o..r..e.. millimeter, to get it to connect. I'd start there, by forcing the connector on tighter.
  7. Something like this, mounts with tape or hardware? https://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/Deflectors/Lund-Interceptor-Bug-Shield?set-vehicle=1&autoselect=1
  8. Hi edgemaster, can you clarify exactly where this 2"gap is to occur? Do you mean you want a deflector to attach directly to the underside of the hood with screws and extend out 2" in front of the hood before turning up? (Like a cantilever)? Or a complete 2" separation from the hood itself? If so, where would it mount? .
  9. You clean up the guide pins, lubricate them when reinstalling? (Thinking new disks may mask the problem and pins being corroded whichs resulting in binding).
  10. Couple of thoughts. First, check the fuse that controls the fans. Looks like fuse #5 in the power distribution box (fuse box in engine compartment). Should be a 40 amp (with factory trailer tow) & 60 amp without. (Please verify that this is the right fuse). Second is, you installed an aftermarket fan assembly and these have been known to be wired differently then the Motorcraft unit. There are three wires running to the fan controller. (Note of caution, I'm drawing this from a Ford service manual for 2009. I *think* they are the same, however "trust but verify". (Strange, suddenly I'm picturing Ronald Reagan driving a Russian Troika.) Anyway: One is the incoming power (from fuse #5) and is a red w/black stripe connecting to terminal #1 which is marked "PWR". The second is the signal wire from the PCM. It is a red w/orange stripe connecting to terminal #4 and marked "VAR-SPD-IN". The third is the ground, which is solid black and connects to terminal #2. There are two additional wires which run to the fan(s), red and black. No terminals listed.
  11. Lugs tightened unequally will cause this. Other than that, I'd suspect the calipers.
  12. $23.29 + free 2-day shipping. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-Lightweight-Shockproof-Oil/dp/B000CPI5YG
  13. Who did the brake job? They burnish them after installation?
  14. Test it out. Press the sync voice button on the steering wheel (right side, looks like someone speaking, shares the same button as "media") and say "audio on" (to turn on the radio), or "audio off" if it's on.
  15. Here's the mactfordedge video on replacing the cooling fans in 9 minutes. Personally I would not consider any brand other than Motorcraft as aftermarket fans have had vibration and excess noise problems. Some of them are wired differently. (I had mine replaced under extended warranty by the dealer.)
  16. What ABS problem are you exactly having? Does the ABS light come on?
  17. This isn't what you were asking for, but it may give you some reference as a starting point.
  18. For starters: https://www.autoanything.com/dash-kits/Ford/Edge/110A52985A0A0A6A9208A1.aspx
  19. You change or have a shop do it? Local Ford dealer will only use Motorcraft (of course).
  20. Don't know if this is your case or not, but a lot of aftermarket fans are wired differently than the Motorcraft fans. May have to rewire the fan connector to get power to the right pin.
  21. I've got a really nice one on my 09 mkx, dealer's service rep too one look and said "oh wow, you need a new wheel". Told him if he could come up with a new one under 500 I'd buy it. End of conversation. I hit a curb pulling into a +×÷=$ CVS one evening. Tore the sidewall open and went instantly flat. Nice curb rash, (make that curb rape) on the wheel. All my wheels have curb rash, builds character.
  22. Could be a glitch. Couple of things you could try. First try resetting the PCM by disconnecting the positive battery cable for a few minutes. Then reconnect the cable and make certain the connections are tight and clean. If that doesn't work, try resetting the factory alarm (which has a kill switch as part of the system). Open driver's door and leave it open. Insert your key & turn to "ON" (not "RUN"). Leave it in the "ON" position for 10 minutes. Then turn the key off. Close driver's door and then try to start the car. This will reset the anti theft device.
  23. These plastic chrome overlay wheels are made by Lacks Enterprises using a process called Chromtec. Unfortunately, they can't be repaired. http://www.lacksenterprises.com/wheels.html Mactfordedge did a video on how to remove the plastic covers. It's a job, but the aluminum wheel beneath them can be polished to resemble mags. https://youtu.be/1HucQiwE1-U
  24. Oh sure, now you tell us. Last curb I hit, spilled beer all over my lap. I vote all new cars come with curb feelers, standard. (Right now the younger fellas are scratching their heads wondering what I'm talking about).
  25. As your question is one never asked before (probably never thought of before), it's unlikely anyone has ever tried it. Ford often makes small changes in the hidden areas. My guess is, they may look simular but who knows what's different inside. Your talking 7 years difference, different models of car, most likely different vendors. The new one has additional features like heated steering wheel & your 11 doesn't. It's possible they adopted a different clockspring or different wiring layout. About the only way you can test is to go to a local recycling yard that has both and ask to examine both side-by-side. .
