Was riding in a different forum where a service rep wrote about this problem "We have had a few come in like that. We replaced the lifting arm and the control module and all was fixed. Could have probably gotten away with just the module, but the Tech Hotline said to start with the lifting arm.".

Oh, sorry, misunderstood. Thought the different actuator works perfectly and when you put the old one back on, didn't work again. Believe there is a rear hatch module that controls the it's operation. Perhaps the oem actuator is sending the wrong signals? (Never really looked at the service manual to see what controls the actuator).

The fact that the replacing the actuator fixed the problems indicates that your existing actuator is bad. Looks like their running <$300 on Ebay.

Just checked ebay. A 17" is the std. high for all Edge/MKX for 2007-2013. 18" would be too big for the well. Used spare for a 2013 Edge runs around $100 shipped.

Height as well. I had a flat and tried to put the regular tire in the well for trandport. Not even close. Way too big. As I stated, mine is a 17". From the looks of it, don't believe an 18" will fit. Do you have an 18" in yours?

There's a picture of the fuse panel on page 250 of the owners manual (first printing). The panel uses three types/sizes of fuses, they are described on page 253 under the bottom of the chart. (Look up the fuse, next to its rating is a subscript number, this corresponds to type/size of fuse used).

My spare on my MKX with 20" wheels and AWD is a 165x80x17. I've used it twice with no problems. (Cept it rides hard and noisy).

You may have just discovered a new Starbucks drink, a Souris Latte. Ouch! Man that's a horrible thing to have to contend with. Question I would have is, where did the parents go? Have you considered putting traps everwhere?

Parasitic load is only a few milliamps but a battery will continue to discharge even there no load connected. Seven weeks is pushing the envelope, as WWW stated, install a cutoff or connect a battery tender. Either way will prolong the life of the battery.

Used on Ebay for <$100http://www.ebay.com/itm/152225516642 or skull cap for <$50 http://www.ebay.com/itm/262456710887 These may not be exactly what you need, but there are others.

I would avoid the blueish bulbs as you will actually see less. The human eye is not very sensitive to blue as well as it focuses differently inside the eye. (Eye sees best in yellow/green light). The best choice is the Phillips Xtremevision. Note that it states 100% more light on the road, but no so for the blue bulbs. (I'm running the Xtremevision & well satisfied).

Be darned, didn't realize that. Thought they were off above 30-35. Maybe has something to do with the car's airflow design. By that I was thinking of the front grill opening, etc. May be old school, thought they were 0%-100% based on coolant sensor. Nice to know, thanks for posting.

Doesn't the MKX have different shift points and different rearend gearing? Why do you feel the Edge isn't perfectly matched to its drivetrain?

I think that "thatqtpie" acctually meant the ACM and not the APIM. The ACM is the audio control unit (I think it also includes the AN/FM, CD/DVD, navigation and amp), and the APIM is the separate Sync module. He could probably pick up a used unit on Ebay, cheap.

I have a good battery charger but this device is more. They are claiming it to be a "rejuvenater". (Patients, etc.). It claims to physically change the lead sulphate back into lead and acid, restoring the original life to a battery. They way I interpret their claim is, say you have an older battety that had 650 CCA when it was new. Your BA-7 now says that its down to 530 CCA'S. You slap on your Battety Tender (or whatever) and charge it. You still can only charge it back to 530 CCAs. This device supposedly clears the lead sulphate and returns the battery back to 650 CCAs. Kind of reminds me of a paste I used as a teenager, think it was called VX-7 or smething like that. Anyway, had an old battery that needed replacing, squeezed a little in each cell, and ... bang, battery had new life, outlasted the car. Forget was in it, but it also claimed to breakdown the lead sulphate.

These things happen, no one's fault and Ford certainty has no responsibility to provide you with monetary assistance. You can easily pull the radio, send it off to these folks & get it repaired for ~$300. https://navrepair.com/products/ford-lincoln-mercury-clarion-gps-navigation-radio-system-repair-service

Probably still bad fans or fan controller. At 45 mpg you don't need fans, has enough air flow through the radiator; only need them when idling.

You can put a request for your parts on this site. It goes out to all associated auto yards in the the US with the parts you need and they will respond directly to you. http://www.automotix.net/

Anyone try one of these? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSY8BR2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_Np4PzbZTT5RSC

One remote possibly, check the relief valve on your radiator cap. This pressure relief valve on the underside of the cap is designed to hold the pressure in while the coolant is cold. After it heats up, it starts to open allowing the coolant to overflow into the coolant recovery container. (After it cools down, the partial vacuum in the radiator sucks the coolant back out of the container to refill the radiator and engine). If it stuck closed, the pressure in the radiator and engine would have risen over specification (don't know what the Edge runs at, 14 psi?), and forced coolant out of the system where a hose joins the metal connector. That would explain the loss when she was driving, but not later after you opened the cap and corrected the problem. Thinking corrosion caused the cap to malfunction. Have you changed the coolant per schedule? (Use the proper stuff)?

Just tap on the thumbnail and pinch and spread to enlarge.

Triple on the BA-7. I bought one and my old battery tested low on CCA's. Read battery bad. I had two tests run on this battery by the local Ford garage; both times reported battery was fine. It died at the grocery store. Great little tester to monitor battery condition and charging systems.

Actually there is, sort of. For my Escort Passport Max2 I used a harness that plugs into the back of my rearview mirror. Turns on the detector when the ignition is in run, off when turned off & door opened (same delay as radio, etc.). You can buy a harness for several different radar detectors and dashcams (each brand has a different connector). Installation takes <5 minutes (start to finish). Here's one simular to the one I bought, others are available: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I1XF4XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_f8YPzbXEN19Q8 Here's MirrorTap's website: https://www.mirrortap.com/ .
