  1. 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.....?
  2. 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
  3. The anti theft alarm is a factory option, and it appears your car doesn't have it. You can add on a Ford aftermarket alarm. Just plugs right in. Not exactly the same, but will work. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/13564-2013-edge-factory-alarm/

  5. 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."
  6. Would these work for you? https://www.rackattack.com/fit/ford/edge-edge-sport/2017/
  7. If I were in MY teens or twenties again, I'd be chasing girls.
  8. 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 .
  9. 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).
  10. Just read where 2017 Edges built between April 25th and June 20th are being recalled for torque converter failure.
  11. 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).
  12. Looks like a completely different car. Very unique. Did you do it yourself?
  13. 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 .
  14. Ok, it turns out that the weatherstrip on the inside has TWO wiper strips. One person reported that he found that the inner wiper strip had folded DOWN and he used a q-tip (think that's what he said) to reach in and force the strip back up to the UP position. A second person in a BMW pulled off the inner door skin and then pulled the inner wiper and trimmed the lower wiper with a razor blade. See video below.
  15. Yup. Something inside the door is getting wet on the interior side. Never noticed this on any car I've owned. Porous glass ☔
  16. Both are still available. The FS-104 has a filter, the FS-106 has the guard. Either will work.
  17. Its a round part about 3" in diameter. It's located under the seat, slightly forward of center. Somewhat difficult to get off, they just press on. The old ones (like on my MKX) have a thin filter element, the new one just have a plastic grill. I doubt the you will see any difference between the two. The filter material is very thin and offers little obstruction to air flow. I've used both and the filter type offers a slight advantage as it filters dust/dirt from entering the fan motor. But in all honesty there's very little dirt under the seat to get sucked up anyway. I suppose it may have a slight advantage when considered over several years.
  18. The seats with heat only have just a heating element. With air conditioned seats, like JMR061 said, the current flows on way through the TED and the seat heats, the opposite way and it cools. The difference between them, in the heating mode the fan only comes on low, in cooling mode is depends on which of thr three levels you set the control.
  19. Possibly a dirty mass air flow sensor. It only takes a small amount of oil grime buildup on the thin heated wire to throw off the air/fuel balance and lower mpg. https://carcarenewsservice.org/article/clean-mass-air-flow-sensor-restores-lost-mpg-and-horsepower
  20. Would it be possible that the outside bottom wipe gets wet and then touches the inside wipe when the window is all the way down (transferring wet from the outside weatherstripping to the inside). Check to see if the touch when the window is all the way down. (My MKX doesn't).
  21. I would also consider laying a couple of mousetraps around the car.
  22. Don't know what year you have, on mine, I used a small, straight screwdriver and removed the two screws on each end. On mine, on fixture had came apart inside, completely (water appears to have gotten in through cracked lens) and I replaced the fixture and bulb. This video shows a later style.
  23. Remove both C-pillar upper trim panels. Refer to WSM, Section 50-505. Remove both rear grab handles. Starting from the rear of the vehicle release the pushpins and magnets from the liftgate opening to the grab handle mounting location, to allow access to the antenna. Replace the audio unit antenna. Remove the retainer and audio unit antenna and harness through the roof opening. (Figure 1) retainer and audio unit antenna and harness Figure 1 15-0136 The new audio unit antenna must be painted to the vehicle color before installing. Tighten the bolt to 7 Nm (62 lb-in.). To install, reverse the removal procedure.
