  1. Looks like another job for duct tape! OK, seriously, if it's open in back then I don't see any problem. If not, I'd talk to the service manager about it.
  2. If you go with Motorcraft, make certain you get the ones for your tire size (18" tires are different that 20" tire size). Aftermarket are universal are not manufactured to that precision.
  3. Yeaaaa, you don't want your driveshaft to get stuck in a pothole and buckel.
  4. Yea, I was disappointed with mine as well. I wanted "Heart's Desire" and all I can change to is "Asses of Roses".
  5. Sweet. Is the color the Ingot Silver Metallic or the White Platinum Metallic? Hard to tell as both tend to change as the light changes.
  6. I tried crushing up some Nugenix and putting it in the gas tank. (Thought I'd give my car a set of bigger bolts.) Only thing that happened was, the engine started backfiring every once in awhile and the exhaust smelled funny.
  7. On my 2009 MKZ the low fuel warning comes on at 50 miles. If I reset it, it pops up evey 10 miles or so. I deliberately ran it down to 0 once to test it, and finally refilled it around 30 miles over. So there's a safety margin.
  8. I was being facetious. For $70k+ I want more than transportation and wandered too far off course.
  9. I assumed the same brand/style wheel, the larger will weigh more of course. And, It's not possible to judge one design or brand with another properly. What I posted was a comparison of tire weights using the 245/50/20 & 265/40/21 sizes; both were the Perelli Scorpion Verde All Season. (Compares apples-to-apples based on size alone).
  10. I ve posted this PDF on another post, but thought it may be appropriate here. It describes how the AWD (gen 1) works. Emailing Ford's All-Wheel Drive 2009.pdf
  11. Looked on tirerack.Com. Choose same tire brand/model in both sizes, 20" was 32 lbs, 21" was 34 lbs.
  12. During last oil change wandered around showroom as I usually do (gets the blood circulating in the sales staff, good for laughs). Looked at the 150 on the floor, mid 70's. It was niceeee. Some sort of auto cover that unrolled and covered the bed. Rolled up out of the way when desired. The playroom was large enough, thought the bath was a little cramped however. Also still had the actually dive it yourself, no auto-drive function, and no Mr. Fusion to power it. Still had to refuel at a gas station. (Hey, for 70+, I want to be able to go back to the bedroom, grab a few zzzz's and let it drive me cross country without stopping to refuel).
  13. The one downside to all of this is, a former owner could use the factory key code to open the door, start the car and drive it away. Or anyone else who's had access to the five-digit number. There should be a way to block this from ever happening.
  14. I can't see any purpose for this either. Are the backup LEDs actually on or possibly bleed over from the tail lights?
  15. Does this answer your question? http://www.modifiedlife.com/2014-ford-edge-car-audio-wire-schematic/
  16. Here's one place you can start. Be advised that one you do upgrade, you may never be able to upgrade the Sync 3 to a later version. And you will not be able to update the maps to a later year. I read that there are companies that are trying to pirate copies for those that have changed their cars, but don't remember it they have succeeded or not. https://www.4dtech.com/2015-ford-edge-sync-3-upgrade-for-myford-touch/
  17. If I read these right it's blue with gray stripe and green (solid).
  18. Oh heck, go for the best. http://m.autoanything.com/brakes/61A7126A0A0.aspx
  19. I've also had problems with Michelin's after 20k. They're great when new, but get loud and hard around 19.5 - 21k. Gave up.on them years ago. I now on my 2nd set of Bridgestones with this MKX and feel its an excellent tire. Reports of short life on Michelin's in the reviews posted on Amazon, as well.
  20. I went from standard mirrors to the ones with the convex inserts. It takes a little learning to use them. Adjusting them properly is critical (see TheWizzard's post above). When adjusted properly, if you see ANY PART of a car in the convex, he's in your blind spot (and close). I would never want to go back.
  21. While it could be a lot things, one possibility is the lens in the unit is dirty. (Car's have lot of environmental polutants not seen in a residential environment. Think of the film you see on the inside of the windshield). You could start by blowing air into the inside of the unit with a can of air made for this purpise. Then you could try using one of those DVD laser cleaning disks. And if it is a more serious problem, you could always send it to a repair shop specializing in auto DVD repair. I Googled and clicked on the first link, http://www.hitechserv.com/electronics-repair/oem-navigation-dvd-cd-changer-repair/70 They are quoting around $185. If you live in a major city it's possible that there's a repair service nearby. Could also be an opportunity to drop in one of the cool new aftermarket units. But that's going to coSr some. And then there's ebay and a used unit.
