Resume on the cruise control is not working
enigma-2 replied to Dandy's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Ran across a Youtube video which states that the most common cause of cruise control failure (90% of the time) is a failure of the secondary redundant pressure switch. Apparently they fail open and does not allow the cruse to engage. -

I would check the steering wheel clockspring. -
Protecting leather interior in hot dry climates
enigma-2 replied to mikeym's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I would be afraid of putting a strong bleach product on automotive leather. Scrubbing Bubbles contains Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach), Sodium hypochlorite (basic ingredient in laundry bleach), mold and mildew stain removers, Sodium Carbonate, Decylamine Oxide, Sodium Hydroxide & Fragrance. I would be afraid of weakening or removing the leather's protective layer. (Plus the fear of getting a bleach product down into the perforations).- 11 replies

Cronin Ford Harrison Ohio (Cincinnati)
enigma-2 replied to Steve4225's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
I would inform Mr. Cronin about this. He's the only person who can take direct action to get this stopped. Believe me, the owner wants you to be completely satisifted with every service action. Service clerks seem to be either very good or very poor; willing to tell you anything to get rid of you (his immediate problem). Go right to the owner, let him know that you have been lied to and treated poorly.- 1 reply

That's great. Others reported vibration, wiring wrong and noise. Must be a hit/miss affair.

Why do the words "Hanger Queen" come to mind?

I believe the instructions state to wash with soap and water, then clean with alcohol and wipe dry. Don't worry about the adhesion, the adhesive is very strong and it will stick.

Protecting leather interior in hot dry climates
enigma-2 replied to mikeym's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
In past years, Lincoln used to recommend a specific brand (perhaps there was a kickback, but it was official). Here's a link to their website : https://www.leatherworldtech.com/Leather-Master-Products-s/1831.htm Ivery also read where professional car detailers will use Woolite to clean leather without harm. Nevet use dish soap.- 11 replies

2016 edge sport hatch will not close
enigma-2 replied to Steve4225's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
I seem to remember reading somewhere (may have been in this forum) that a defective pinch strip can cause open ok, but no response to close. Its under warranty, take it in to the dealer so he can pull codes and fix. -
Better to run at 36 than 34. 30 is too low, not only more rolling resistance but tires prematurely wear more on the edges and not as much in the center. At 15% low (30 psi vs. 35 psi) they will also be running hotter than normal, reducing life. Overheating can lead to tread separation. Low tie presource also reduces carrying capacity. Also, don't forget to check your spare. It may be low just when you need it most. On my spare it reads to "inflate to 60 psi". However the owners manual states to inflate it to what the other 4 require. (?). The owners manual governs. One last thought. My door sticker shows the pressure for 18" tires, what came with the car from the factory. After taking delivery, the first owner opted to put on 20" tires. (Still within Lincoln requirements). Therefore I have to go to the owners manual for recommendated pressures. Make certain tat the door sticker is for your exact tires, else check the OM.

Does it sound like this?

Tires may have worn unevenly from the misalignment. Believe I would try a tire rotation to see if anything changes.

Wouldnt it be a hoot if the new grill mimicked the 2017 Lexus? -
I've found in the past that old versions of Java left problems in the system. Best to remove all old versions as they tell us.

Update your Java to the most current.

Been reported here before on the 2013 models. Some were only 3 months old when the rust started to appear. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12725-rust-on-my-9-month-old-2013-edge-limited-door-panel/ Here's backup on it being iron filings from manufacturing, guy used IronX to neutralize. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11589-my-edge-is-rusting/ Been seen on the Escapes as well: http://www.fordescape.org/forum/exterior-interior/8081-rust-rear-door-lip.html And on the 2013 Explorer: http://m.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Explorer/2013/body_paint/inside_door_edges_on_passenger_side_rusting.shtml

It seems to be keyed to you actual driving style. Heres Ford's description of how it determines when to trigger: http://owner.ford.com/how-toshttp://owner.ford.com/how-tos/vehicle-features/dashboard-instrument-cluster/intelligent-oil-life-monitor.html?fmccmp=myfordmag-site-MFPR0515OIL/vehicle-features/dashboard-instrument-cluster/intelligent-oil-life-monitor.html?fmccmp=myfordmag-site-MFPR0515OIL

I did see those, but there's the shipping delay from China and you are never really certain as to the quality of the parts. For electronic parts, I would recommend OEM.

2013 center console lid question.

It's actually for two pen holders, a travel tissue pack holder and business card or paper holder. -
anyone with OBDII scanner, can you report LTFT, 2012 2.0
enigma-2 replied to brevard2012's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
Although it doesn't exactly fit the symptoms, did you ever consider checking for a dirty throttle body or a dirty mass air flow sensor? Easy enough to check both and either can cause a drop in mpg.
