One nice thing about having an Extended Warranty on my 09 MKX. Flat tire, I call Lincoln, they call a repair service and they come out and change the tire. Last time it was in the pouring rain. (He did use a torque wrench on the finl tightening). .

Follow up: the pattern is "V" shaped, full upper and lower part of the windshield (think oval). If yours us only on the top it sounds like it's partially clogged. For $12 why not just pop a new one in?

I was only recommending Dorman because of price. I was assuming that they're the same quality as OEM. Spray pattern of new nozzles appear to be ok, perhaps more on upper area vs. lower. I'll have to look today whole we're out shoping.

Noticed that my washer was no longer working on the drivers side, and the passengers side was weak. Quick investigation revealed that the nozzle broke under the hood insulation blanket. The Ford & MKX nozzles make a sharp right-hand turn just under the hood and the hose puts a lot of tension on this connection. Figured that if one was bad, the other would follow in short order. Stopped by local Ford dealer and got clipped for $24 for two of them. Recommend if you are replacing yours, go with Dorman off Amazon. Anyway, you pull the insulation blanket with a trim tool (taking care not to lose one like a certain idiot we won't mention did) and the blanket slips right off the two metal clips. The old nozzles remove by pinching the prongs on the underside and they pop right off. When I went to remove the passenger side it easily broke off as I touched it. (These nozzles are cheap plastic and age quickly do to engine heat). In both cases the part of the nozzles that slip into the hose remained in the hose. The new nozzles easily slip into the holes in the hood and lock into place. Went to remover the plastic stubs in the end of the hose and they crumbled. Each little bit had to be scraped/dug out with a small screwdriver. (Any ltitle bit left behind will clog the new nozzle). After digging and digging, I used a Q-tip and did my best to clean out the remainder (which was now powder). Finally I turned on the washer and used the stream to wash out any remaining particles. The hoses push on easily (the drivers side was a stretch). Blanket slips back in place, trim clips push back in easily (minus one) and done.

It does that for the cops too .... :-)

My guess would the former owner had set a speed limit on the IA using the "My Key" feature. See page 54 in the Owners Manual on how to remove the restriction.

HVAC Fan Temp Control Issue

Here's a video showing how the actuator's fail. Think this is the correct replacment. (Motorcraft YH1878 Heater Blend Door Actuator). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B5S2VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_J6zmAbQEJW580 -
Think you mean transaxle. The PTU is only on AWD vehicles. It's the box that sends power to all four wheels continously. Youtube video on changing a seal:

Plugs. 90k max. Change before they burn out the coils.

Phifffiff. I have all three of the little signal suckers stuck on the back of my cell phone. I can get signal in Antarctica. Ummmm I wonder if I were to stick one on my Sirus antenna.....?

Too late, you can buy them 3 for $2 at Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XM9RL8A/ref=zg_bs_2407782011_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BZW0277HX4VZWPZWY9HM

Sync & Edit Canned messages
enigma-2 replied to Fireman Tom's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I don't have MFT but seems to me that after you listen to the incoming message being read, Sync asks you if you want to respond. You can choose the 15 or so canned messages or you can say whatever you want in response. She'll read back to you what you said and you send the message by saying "send." -

2009 Ford Edge Remote start

Applied to several Ford models, but not the MKX. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2017/07/11/ford-issues-safety-recall-for-certain-2017-ford-edge--fusion-and.html .

Welds (or was it rivets) are braking causing the converter to separate from the engine. Loses all power while driving causing it to roll to a stop. (Engine runs, just can't transfer power to the wheels).
-
Just read where 2017 Edges built between April 25th and June 20th are being recalled for torque converter failure.
-
I would first suspect that possibly the wiring the runs between the body and the top of the liftgate may have worn through and cause an intermittent short (insulation rubbed bare, providing a ground to the opening mechanism).

Looks like a completely different car. Very unique. Did you do it yourself?

Concerning the ANC, it's only active when the radio, CD, DVD, etc. is turned off. To turn of the ANC, turn on the radio and turn the audio all the way down. http://lincolnmkxforum.com/topic/2496-active-noise-cancellationexplained/?do=findComment&comment=11569 .
