  1. 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".
  2. 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.
  3. phoofff! I'm putting on a Mazzanti emblem.
  4. I've always wondered how many common failures are design related and how many fail through customer's lack of proper maintenance.
  5. 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!!!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Not that I know of. You could try unplugging fuse 29 again but this time leave it unplugged for half hour to an hour. .
  12. Sounds like your Vista Moonroof drains are clogged. The moonroof has a channel running around the window designed to catch the rainwater and channel it over to one of four drains; located in each corner. If one or more drains clog, the channel can fill and the water can overflow onto the headliner. Easy enough to check and clear. Easiest way is to take a air valve attached to an air compressor and add a short length (perhaps two ft) of 1/4" tubing to the end. Open the sunroof and while standing in the open window, run the tubing about a foot or so into the drain holes. Then blast the drain with a hundred psi and if there's anything clogging them, the air will clear out the gunk. If you don't have a compressor, you can use heavy gauge string trimmer line. Just start feeding the line into the drain opening and keep twisting and push/pull until it goes all the way down to the outlet. Either way, it should take only a couple of minutes work.
  13. Probably need to do a master rest (cutting power doesn't do this). If you still do it, try this: 1. Access your Settings Menu by clicking the cogs located next to the Home Button 2. Select Settings from the list on the right side of the screen 3. Select System at the top of the list Scroll down until you see Master Reset, then press it. (if you can). If not, need to take it to the dealer. They can do a master reset or diagnose the problem (replace the display).
  14. Another member, vicki1985, mentioned using a 1-1/4" socket (probably a 32 mm) on a hub. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/8329-07-sel-plus-awd-rear-bearinghub-replacement/
  15. Certainly looks like it. The manual states the correct gap is o.o29" +- .oo1". Believe the correct NGK plug is 96622. According to the specs, the NGK plugs for the 2.oL come pre-gapped at o.o32", which is over the spec. If you don't mind my asking, why did you go with NGK over Motorcraft?
  16. Got curious about the hack. Here's an interesting website that discusses how all this works. https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/general/myford-touch-hack-enable-features-t3321397/page1
  17. Ah, that's what I was thinking, so much discussion got me confused. The OP can still add navigation for an $800 kit (link I posted above) if he wants it, or (quoting you), adding a SD card and doing some sort of hack on the existing hardware (which is pretty much impossible for most of us)..
  18. Alot of these guys get tons of free products when they have followers on YouTube. (Wouldn't surprise me if MactFordEdge gets a free 2018 Edge from Ford, so he can demo it on YouTube).
  19. Yup. Lots of depression as well. My son lines in North Bend (where they film Twin Peaks). He has a couple of full spectrum lights he uses to recharge himself. Hear it rains some as well. ;-)
  20. Try running a hvac module self test / reset. To enter the self-test, press the OFF and floorbuttons simultaneously and then press the AUTObutton within two seconds. The display will showa dashed line in the center of the climate controldisplay window of the integrated control panel (ICP).
  21. One thing to keep.in mind after a hvac plug is mold and mildew building up in the housing. There are several ways of killing it, the one I used with good success is Kool-it. Lubegard 96030 Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007PHD0S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_e7NNzbNZYBC3D Here's a 5 minute Youtube video on how it works:
  22. Just spent a week in and around Seattle. The car we had didn't have navigation so I used Google Maps on my Android. It continously updated in real time the time to destination based on traffic flow. And it also ran me around in circles every once in awhile for the fun of it. (Who in the hell designed the freeways in the Seattle area)? And the homeless... been years since I was in Seattle. Now the signs read "I'm tired of begging, I just want to get drunk". :-)
  23. Its corney, but perterant. Tho shalt not steal. There's no such thing as something for nothing. We always ending up paying. With interest. So as I understand what's being stated, all you have to do is add a $150 SD card and ... poof... navigaton now works. So why spend $$$$ from Ford to get it? Or do you have to get the dealer to program your unit? And how much does that cost? (I'm confused as to all the claims being made).
  24. Actually I found this to be quite useful on a trip to Seattle this week. I had a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Pushed the button to turn off the engine, opened the door and got out to the double honk. Turns out the car was still running on battery, dead silent, but still on. Seems I failed to turn it off after all.
  25. I believe it's not the disconnect, rather the reconnect. If your not careful and make full, continuous contact when reconnecting, you might create a spark (or sparking) cwhich allows current to genetate spikes in tbe circuitry. Sometimes spikes cause very high voltages that are capable of causing a breakdown of the IC's. And sometimes it just scrambles memory circuits. Like OMAR said, try a battery disconnect, wait ten minutes to allow the capacitors to drain and reconnect.
