    My guess is 1/2 hr.

    Just curious, did you use OEM plugs and coils?

    He said he had no codes. Low pressure would have set P0087 (think that's the one). My guess is he split a vacuum hose when he removed/reinstalled the intake. Still, that should also set a code.

    Ah yes, sounds like you are referring to Law discovered by Dr. Murphy.

    Here's a video I posted a while back. See if this sounds like your problem.

    Sounds to me like the strut mount bearing is seizing. It's allowing the coil spring to rotate on its base. The spring does not move smoothly however, it jumps as it rotates, creating the clicking (or "ratching") type sound. Best if you Motorcraft. Depending on how many miles you have on your car, may consider replacing the struts as well. (After all you have to pull them to change the strut mounts anyway). Motorcraft also sells a preassembled strut/spring assy. Don't have to worry about borrowing or buying a spring compressor and removing the old mount and spring. Just remove old strut and pitch. New strut goes right in. Saves time and restores the original height (if that's a concern). .

    You can check for yourself (just to keep them homest). The tire date code is the last four number of the DOT code. Look for the "DOT" on the tire (can be on either side) and you should find the last four numbers in an oval (code changes each week so they use a template). The first two number is the week of the year, the second is the year. For example, today's date code is 3517. This is the 35th week of 2017.

    Yea, well how does that compare to the giant hit, "I Sold My Heart to the Jumkman"? lol

    Nothing I've every seen in my MKX. Probably have to run the wire above the headliner.

    With all of the unrelated faults that are occurring, there appears to be only one component that's common to all. It's the Smart Junction Box. Before taking it to a dealer however, how old is you battery? Batteries that still test good on a regular tester will still have internal problems and cause problems with circuits. (Unlikely in your case, but still a distant possibility). Those two items would be the first thing I would suspect as to the root cause. BTW, the drivers window is powered from fuse #4 in the SJB (cabin fuse panel). It's a 30 amp fuse. Did you check it?

    We just got back from there. Check out Leavenworth Zip Lines if your looking for fun. https://www.leavenworthziplines.com/ I swear, Seattle is the most confusing city to drive around. Got lost everywhere. (BTW, I Gould Google Maps the best program to use there). Hope you have a great time.

    Simple, stop swimming in them.

    Ya man, they would sure come in handy down in Texas right now. Seriously, I can't imagine what those poor people are going through. 40"-50" of rain and I'm worried about stepping puddles? Bet I know where we can pick up a brand new Edge or MKX in a few weeks... really cheap!

    Sadly my extended warranty comes to an end next month. After this will will only cover the cup holders (I think). The best insurance is to do all of the preventive maintenance, and other stuff not required (such as changing the PTU, axle, brake and pwr steering fluid$). I also authorize most repairs the service department recommends. Fix it now before it causes others parts to weaken and fail. (I.E. a worn Tie rod end thats getting worn will put extra stress on the rest of the suspension and drive leakage).

    You can't (directly). You can select a phone number and assign it to an existing quick dial location which will overwrite the existing number, or you can do "master reset" which will delete your phonebook and all the quick dial settings. To set a different number for quick dial, select phonebook, select your number and select which quick dial location to set it for. If it currently has a number assigned, select "replace".

    I looked on the wiring diagram and all of the back lighting is connected together at connection point P209. As to why only two of the back lights are switching is really perplexing. If all of the backlighting were going full bright it would indicate the SJB was at fault. As for the odometer, all of the instrument cluster lighting is all wired together. That the odometer goes bright and the rest doesn't just makes no sense.

    phoofff! I'm putting on a Mazzanti emblem.

    I've always wondered how many common failures are design related and how many fail through customer's lack of proper maintenance.

    I liked the one where you showed where the water pump weep hole was located. Simple, but I would nevery known where to look without the video. Thanks!!!

    That's strange. I have a clear indicator in my gen-1.0. If the FOB doesn't open the door, time to change the battery.

    Keep in mind that any aftermarket part installed will not be covered under the factory warranty. This also includes anything the aftermarket part causes a failure in the original car. I had a guy slide into.my at a red light last winter, his insurance company told me to get three estimates from companies on their list. I said no, I already had an estimate from the local Ford dealer and was going to have it fixed there. There was some back and forth, and I said, it's going to be fixed there, I'll pay for it and send the bill to their client. They immediately accepted the Ford garage and dealt directly with them. Paid for Enterprise as well.

    Talking to a friend who said that you dealer can hook up a computer and activate your radio. Try calling your dealer. Appearently you might be able to find, download a dealer app that can do this as well. (But good luck on that).
  24. enigma-2
    I still am wondering about this. I thought that Sirius came on all Ford radios. Easiest enough to check, call Sirius and givery the your radio's ESN. If you don't know how to find that, they will walk you through it (be in your car & follow their directions). If equipped, they can activate your radio while on phone.

    Here's a complete kit to install Sirius to a factory radio. $180. http://store.xmfanstore.com/complete-sirius-install-kit-for-gm.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=152665108124
