Sirius channel 17 name summer 2017
enigma-2 replied to gkyates's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Channel 17 is Love. Sirius channel guide is Love (Yacht Rockt Radio). http://m.siriusxm.com/programschedules Is it possible that your radio is receiving Sirius and not Sirius XM? -
Buzzing sound from subwoofer when headlights are on
enigma-2 replied to Dieselman's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Assuming that your radio system AND headlights are OEM ... Does the buzzing speed up and slow down when press on the accelerator? If so it could indicate that the alternator has a shored diode. If not, try adjusting your interior light rheostat to full maximum. And then all the way to minimum and various settings in between. Does the buzzing change? -
Ford Mytouch/Sync2 Verson 3.5 latest?
enigma-2 replied to hofty's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
sync versions are custom to specific models and specific equipment. Some versions are designed for professionals who purchase fleet trucks. Installing those versions will not offer you any additional advantage. If sync is telling you that 3.5 is your latest, that is the most you will benifit from. Btw, how did you install 3.2 and get 3.8? Was that typo? -
$80 for OEM or $13 for aftermarket. "You get what you pay for." MacFordEdge wrote in another post that idling and city driving puts more wear on plugs than what you are reading on the odometer. You read 104k, the plugs may actually be closer to 124k. He also wrote that changing only one coil is ok. But consider that they all may have been overheated. (Plugs with wide gaps require more current to fire. More current, more heat). Really comes down to how long you intend to keep the car. ("Pay me now or pay me later").

I'm only guessing, but that it happens ever so often, I would be looking at low light. The most obvious reason why this would happen at one time but not another is the lens is dirty. Grim, dirt and oil will reduce the amount of light entering the camera. (Less light = grainer image). You would not notice any problems in daylight as the camera is low lux and the there's more than enough light to get above the noise threshold. First try cleaning the lens. You could provide more light by switching the license plate and/or backup lights with high output LEDs.

Really, really nice. Also have the platinum white, you will discover the real beauty of the color in the sunlight. White but also suttle hues of other colors that seem to shimmer. Now is also a good time to think about things like floor mats to protect the carpet, before it gets stained. (I like weathertech).

I pull power from the rear view mirror. It switches on when the ignition is in run, off when turned off (power remains on until door is opened, just like radio). For the wiring I use a harness made by Mirror Tap. http://www.mirrortap.com/ford.html You simply push the two connectors into the connector socket along side the existing wires. And then use a supplied wire tie to provide strain relief on the harness. Takes only a few minutes. You could call them (888) 497-8388 m-f 7:30 - 4:39 pst and they can walk you through which harness would work with your Edge and camera combo. Also which pins to use in the mirror connector for (+) and (-). (Your connector wires will be different than my 09). Anyway, easiest and quickest way to power a radar detector or camera.

One of my cargo knobs loose
enigma-2 replied to srrgolf's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Sounds like the attachment points for cargo bay accessories. I use mine for a second net. If I'm not mistaken, this knob is screwed on from behind. Probably the screw simply came loose. Try pulling (gently) to put tension on the screw head, to prevent it from turning. Then while holding it in tension, turn the knob to tighten it to the screw. Turns clockwise (lefty loosey, righty tighty). -

Battery Replacement Information
enigma-2 replied to tamugrad2013's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Just out of curiosity, how do you do this? I've got Forscan and all I seem to be able to do is read the codes. -

2011 Mystery Noise in Dash
enigma-2 replied to PSUzak's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
There is a simular video on YouTube. Not the same car or year, but he found it to be the recirculate door actuator. Anyway ... -
Rear sway bar bushing(s)? Might be able to feel it in the springs.

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.

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.

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.
-
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?

Front grill removal without taking off bumper?

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)? -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
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. -
My AC is haunted :: HELP!
enigma-2 replied to snowtrooper's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
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.- 7 replies

enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
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. -

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.

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.
