Where to get struts for rear hatch....non electric hatch.
enigma-2 replied to RJG's topic in Exterior & Body
I would stay with Motorcraft for these parts. Others have reported problems with aftermarket. Ebay has lots to choose from, for example: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272690460370 -
ABS, Traction Control, and Check Engine Lights
enigma-2 replied to whitedragon551's topic in 2009 Edge & MKX
You should pull the codes to see what the check engine light represents. That she's losing ABS and traction comtrol could be isolated to one or more sensor's triggered by speed. (These systems are very complex interconnected). -
There are dozens available on Ebay. If your looking fie OEM rubber (with the Edge logo), they normally sell for under a hundred for front and back, same for the cargo mat. (Used are considerably less.)Set of front & rear: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F261261960490 Cargo: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F181214913834 There are carpeted OEM mats as well (you didn't specify). Personally I prefer Weathertech due to their "deep dish" design that catches and holds winter slush.

13's are fairly solid cars, the biggest complaint is door ajar light (faulty latch switch). 2nd most reported problem is the shifter.

I'm attaching a copy of the 2015 For Towing Guide for your use. 2015 Ford Edge Towing.pdf
-
On my 09 MKX the towing option included the hitch, connector wiring, added transmission cooler, upgraded dual fans & larger radiator.

My 09 MKX did that. New brake booster helped a little, new brakes helped more. However one of the mechanics found something binding on the brakes that wasn't allowing the pads to fully contact the rotor. (This was during a "free" brake check with coupon). Whatever it was, made a 80% difference. Someone here who has a better understanding of the brakes may be able to speculate on what it was. As it was free, and I didn't even notice it until I was on the way home, I never asked exactly what he did.

Wait until you see that white platinum in the sun. Its gonna knock your socks off.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

Nothing touches my baby cept a Northern Pride's $18 Ultimate car wash every week. None of that fancy ceramic stuff. (lol) -
Would you believe that you can actually "see" better with the yellow lights than those that run more bluish? Our eyes are most sentiment to yellow-green light and have very few rods sensitive to blue. It's only an illusion that you see better with white-blue light. Blue also causes the eye to focus differently than in normal light. That said, I had a Japanese rental that had FANTASTIC HID lights. Hit the brights and ... daylight.

I would agree about pick & choose, but it may be possible to pick just part of a package. But expect to pay full dollar on it. Multi-option packages are dicounted; individual options are at full price. Talk to your dealer, sales manager will know what you can get separately.

There is a copy of the production work order stuffed under the blanket attached to the hood.

Besides the struts, did you also change the shocks?

remote start horn beep
enigma-2 replied to hborsman's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
On a gen 2, I believe a double horn honk means the hood is open (or the switch isn't registering closed). I think it also means your foot is on the brake peddle, but that shouldn't be your problem here. I don't know if they continued the same pattern on yours. -
Just discovered a 17 Edge followed me home!

Nice looking car btw. Congrats. -
Just discovered a 17 Edge followed me home!
enigma-2 replied to EdgeGold17's topic in Welcome Forum!
So what's the problem? Everyone knows that England always foggy, but Nebraska. Nebraska doesn't have any fog! (grin) https://www.carid.com/2017-ford-edge-fog-lights/ When adding "fog" lights, remember that the real purpose of fog lights are to illuminate just the edge of the road, as your are driving very slow and are just trying to stay on the road. They are not driving lights (as some think). -
Sony - Surround sound mode-Your settings?
enigma-2 replied to Chipster's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Off topic, but ... coming home on a bypass about an hour ago, driving a little over the speed limit, passing a car in tbe right lane and he decided to speed up and pace me. Kid behind me couldn't stand it. Right up my exhaust pipe. No hood, mothing but windshield in the rear view. Soooo, I stayed on cruise control. Radar detector was showing a cop was about 1-2 miles up ahead, so I slowly backed off allowing the guy in the right-hand lane to pull ahead. Kid behind me zpiped over into the right lane, and shot around me giving me a nasty look as he passed. He then cut over in front with inches to spare and floored it. The radar detector was now flashing. (Right now y'all know where this is going). Now he was about 500 ft ahead of me, floored, probably doing at least 80, and .... brake lights; toooooooo late. It's the little things ... ? -
Try to negotiate in a coolant change, PTU fluid change and spark plugs if it has more than 80,000 miles. Make certain it has all of the Sync updates, demand the garage update the system if not. If it has new tires, look at them carefully. Dealers like to throw on the cheapest and you will not be happy with them. Off to pay the difference for top of the line. (I like Bridgestone Dueler's but that just my preference.)

2014 Edge Defrost System Problem
enigma-2 replied to Beerfoot's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't engaging the Max AC just close the recirculation door? The AC compressor runs if either the setting is set to defrost or Max AC. Setting it to Max AC just allows the system to run colder, running on defrost runs both AC and heat to the windshield; just takes a little longer is all. Are you saying that your defroster doesn't run the compressor? (I believe to doesn't run at all below a certain temperature). -
I don't think that it's just a Ford problem, as it happens to a lot of different cars. One reason could be that the back glass is made from tempered glass, not laminated glass. Tempered glass will explode when struck with a sharp or pointed object. The glitch in all of this is, the blow could have happened a year earlier. Because this can happen at any time and by a cause well.out of a manufacturers control, they do not warranty glass. But your insurance company may depending on your policy

Seperating Key/Fob for part replacement
enigma-2 replied to skynyrdmh's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Don't know, but I believe there are different FOB's that look the same, bUT only one it the right one for your car. Perhaps the dealer use the wrong software choice and bonked the car? -
The fuse would be in the battery fuse panel, labeled something like Body Control Module. But power could be coming through other fuses as well. (You MUST have a service manual to know for certain). If the lights are not working on one side I would suspect either thd bulbs or ballast (if HID). But that's only a guess. As your under warranty run it over to your dealer and let him sort it out.

Intermittent phone connection
enigma-2 replied to TSCHANNE's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Do you have ghe latest software update for both Sync and the phone? Any possibility that another signal is interfering with the car? (You could try making a connection at a remote location to see if it's there's a problem around your home). Possible that it's the location of your phone in relation to the car that's the problem. Try moving the phone around to see if that makes a difference. -
Read that the Halagen's were powered through the body control module fuses, a 2017 (not Edge, forget the model, but probably the same).
