enigma-2

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?

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

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)..

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).

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. ;-)

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).

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:

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". :-)

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).

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.

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.

I've read that the average MPG is a running average until it gets about 1000 miles in its memory.

Ans in tires & wheels forum

235-75/17 was the smallest OEM tire offered.

$80. Believe the Ford technician said the synthetic oil retails for $40/qt (or something like that) which was why it was so expensive. Better that every 30k than a new unit.

In what field? As most of us know, a PE stamp only covers the discipline you tested in. In all other areas you may not know shit. (I'm not trying to be mean, but stating that you "at least as smart", is somewhat a rediculuous statement. Unless you work for an automotive company, or in a related field, your just a layman like the rest of us). A license does not make anyone an expert. Experience does. A license simply means one has demonstrated the minimum qualifying expertise in a particular field. The reason we trust the engineers at Ford, is for their expertise in automotive engineering. They have to consider hundreds of varables and have knowledge of the history of their particular area. Unrelated, I worked with an automotive engineer who worked for Bendix Automotive. (He was also one of the engineers who had a hand in the Lunar Lander). The experience I gained from him could fill a book. There are so many small points of knowledge concerning each individual part, making up the whole. For example, we spent two hours talking about one screw, the forces affecting it, the shear stress on the thread tips, etc. We don't run your tires underinflated, not JUST because Ford tells you not to; we do it to maintain stability in turns, to prevent overheating around the chords (and subsquently failure), to prevent short life of the treads, to improve braking distance, etc. etc. There is simply no good reason to run tires on low pressure. The soft, squishy ride you get is detromential to the tire, to the suspension and to the car's ability to recover from high speed cornering. It's one of the reasons the feds mandated in the FMVSS to have low tire pressure warning indicators. Lower gas milage certainly, but for all the others reasons as well. BTW, your the first Professional Engender I've met that bragged he was an expert in Automotive Engeering. Every other PE I've ever known in the field were always quiet as to how much they knew. I would guess it's because it's such a large, complicated field. Question: would you, as a Professional Engeneer, feel comfortable stamping a design for running 36 psi on an auto designed to run at 44 psi? Would you be willing to take the professional responsibility for underflated tires?

What about the navigation module, GPS module and GPS antenna? You saying you don't need the extra hardware?

He's driving a 2015.

If Ford calls for 44 psi and your running 36 psi, your wasting gas, wearing your tires out faster (they run hotter and heat causes heat) and throwing off the alignment. Not to mention loss of traction (especially in cornering) and stopping distance. Remember also that pressure drops 1 psi for each 10°(f) drop in temps. If you set pressure at 36 at 72°, you'll be running 32 psi at freezing. Far too low for safety. Should always maintain the sticker pressure in tires.

You mean lifetime of the car (however long that may be - 50 years?) or so long as the car is in warranty? I serious doubt Ford will ever define lifetime publicly. They have to stand behind their warranty, if the defined lifetime as being beyond that, it would extend the factory warranty. So lifetime is only as long as the factory warranty.

By lifetime, Ford didn't mean the lifetime of the car, it means to end of the factory warranty. If you read the owners manual, it also requires you to change the fluid anytime the ptu is submerged and when used in "special operating conditions". In my manual it's 60,000 miles for cars used to tow a trailer, cars used that have a lot of idling and/or lots of low speed driving, operating on dusty or unpaved roads & cars operated in off-road conditions.

Does the screen have the word "Navigation" then yes you have maps and GPS. If it has the word "Information", you don't have navigation. But it can be added for $800. https://www.4dtech.com/15-ford-edge-navigation-kit-for-myford-touch-systems/ Sync services is not related to navigation. It is a method you can use with your cell phone to control certain functions of your car, like remote start, things like that. You must have a contract with Ford and pay a monthly fee. Like GM's OnStar.

Wow, that's distinctive, bet you get a lot of complements.

Believe that you will find the following site has a lot of information and harnesses to convert to aftermarket head unit. http://www.installer.com/cars/by_car.php?carid=7966

It would take a lot more light to add sufficient visibility. If it were me, I would pour a turn around pad and not try to back such a long distance. 12ft x 20ft should be sufficient (3.7 x 6 m) A quick and cheap fix (less desirable however) would be to just add reflectors on stems (about 2ft high). When backing out at night, they should provide sufficient information as to where the edge of the drive is.
