  1. $200 http://www.carparts.com/details/Westin/Grille_Guard/W16362015.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtpDMBRC4ARIsADhz5O7tcH-NLCEn0oPyxGcg3oe6Y_XoszDfhDYIVtEzF6rAtSatB6bzPg4aAkWsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  2. There is a simular video on YouTube. Not the same car or year, but he found it to be the recirculate door actuator. Anyway ...
  3. Rear sway bar bushing(s)? Might be able to feel it in the springs.
  4. Check you map options. If you have one the necessary options turned off, it can only use what you premitted it to route you to your destination. One other point that can cause this, is if you a "waypoint" set. (Sheepishly admitting that moi had done this in the past). Waypoints are intermediate destinations, not the final destination. I use these sometimes to force navigation to route me onto a particular road or highway, one the software will not consider using. If you had one set, the program may had tried to route you to that waypoint and then back to your destination. Also you get three routes presented. One is shortest, one is unrestricted and one is fastest. The difference between them can make a big difference in miles or time. As an example, I plugged in a trip to one of our favorite restraunts. The shortest was 26 miles and 35 min, and unrestrcited (and fastest) was 30 miles and 35 min. Same destination, same miles, one route requires more miles to get there. (If you look at the map on the screen, each route had a (slightly) different color. Click the one you want and Sync will continue to use that particular route.
  5. Need a new blower motor. You can probably get an aftermarket unit for around ~$40 or Motorcraft for around $~80. There's no resister pack with the auto temp, only used with manual speed control. Auto speed uses a control module that functions like a resistor pack.
  6. Carfax will be able to give you a full report. https://www.carfax.com/?partner=GPC_V&click=sem&gclid=CMnN5-W2vNUCFUJyMgodEhwMrQ&gclsrc=ds
  7. They found my PUA leaking during a regular oil change. I oked the replacement and it took about an hour an half, total. But I ¤think¤ it requires special tools and a specific installion method.
  8. You absolutely certain it coming from the vent? Really sounds like one of the seals is leaking. If so, loss of lubricant will cause the remainder to overheat and gum up. Will lead to total loss of the PTU. Why not run it up the your local Ford garage and have them take a look?
  9. There ard a bunch of youtube videos showing fire and police conversions. Most are Expedition's, but there are a few Edge's. (Have you looked into shipping it out for professional installation)?
  10. I try to read several different websites concern product reviews. Often get opposing views. (The home site will always offer biased views, and often there a bogus posts spread to counter negative comments). I simply found it interesting that a purchaser of the coating found it to be lacking.
  11. In a manual HVAC system, the motor speed is controlled by the speed switch selecting a resistor in the resistor pack. In an automatic temperature controlled system, the ATC module acts as a resistor of sorts, controlling the blower motor speed. It really sounds like the ATC module is going out. There have been reports of the connector melting when the modules fail due to overheating. May not be a bad idea to have a look at this connection by wiggling the connector in the ATC module socket and see if it makes any difference.
  12. I haven't heard of this sealer before and checked Amazon for user feedback. There was only one write up and it wasn't good. User wrote he used two coats and it didn't bead water very well.
  13. Been widely discused here before. The usual problem on this condition is to change the TSS and OSS transmission sensors. Also, consider changing fluid on the severe schedule.
  14. Yes, paid $27 on Amazon. Philips 9005 X-tremeVision Upgrade Headlight Bulb, 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5QY7DW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eH6FzbS9XWKV6 Still completely satisfied. Put in both low & high beams; in both my MKX ans wife's Sebring Convertible. She drives to work in dark, returns in dark (Feb). She noticed an immediate improvement. She was also very pleased with these bulbs as deer are known to jump out on road she takes.
  15. Something I found unusual about struts, Motorcraft part numbers change depending on the wheel size. Not so with aftermarket. It almost as if the Motorcraft struts were "tuned" to the actual suspension of each specific car.
  16. Seriously, I would go with the Motorcraft blower. But its nothing to replace, perhaps 15 minutes, depending on how fast you drink beer. Ok, enough of the hilarity, here's a "weak" video on how to change, drop a cover, pull the glove box and drop the motor/fan assy by removing three screws. On a scale of 1 to a six pack - 1 beer. (Of course your wife and kids don't need to know that, could get you out of a honeydo list if you.play it right). PS, shop around, I just picked a couple of examples at random. You might be able to get a better buy on Ebay. (But if you do go aftermarket, I would stick to what's avaliable on Amazon).
  17. If you go aftermarket as Brucifer recommended this video will help understand what's involved.
  18. My guess would be the blower motor as it will run after being manually started. If it was a blower resistor, it would not work on the lower speeds but ok on high. Faulty resistor usually are not intermittent, but blower motors are.

  19. Sounds like a spring bearing mount is frozen (corroded) and not turing when you make s turn. This allows the spring to buildup tension, and when high enough, the spring jumps in its mounting. Makes a loud clunking sound as it snaps from point-to-point in its mount. Does it sound like this?
  20. Could add a site like this to your search. https://www.carmax.com/
  21. So what's all the big fuss over Le Fourd engine parfume?
  22. The short answer is yes. But I would recommend a complete package as you will need additional devices to properly install a new unit. This package has a reconditioned head unit, GPS antenna, navigation disk and instructions for $800. And they will pre-program the radio to your VIN before shipping it to you. (To use certain additional features such as talking on your cell will driving, you may need to install a microphone or cables). If you decide to go this route, please follow up and write about it here; and let everyone know how it went.

  23. Let's see now, the drain plug is located on the bottom of the PTU, the syringe squirts the lube up into the unit, what keeps it in before you close the drain plug?
