Ahhh, so "that's" how he went 200k and never had a problem. lol

If you still getting the "No GPS" icon, try running a diagnostic test on the ACM. Put radio in navigation mode (press MAP) and then press and hold the 3 and 6 buttons simultaneously. That will take you into ACM diagnostic mode and start the speaker walk test. Be prepared for a loud tone from one of the speakers. Before the speaker test finishes, press the "end test" soft button on tbe screen and you will enter the diagnostics mode. Press GPS test on the screen. One piece of information shown is the number of satellite signals the GPS unit is receiving. If it's 3 or less it will trip the "No GPS" icon, but usually it should be around 6 or more. If your in a clear area and should be expecting a GPS lock, go to the dealer and have them check the antenna. I just went out and ran a test on my 09 MKX and got 6 satellites in the garage. (Usually I get the "no gps" when the garage door is up and blocking the signals).

Unique. Can't say I've never seen one on the road. Are the chrome strips below the door OEM or aftermarket?

Corrosion is common, I cleaned a little bit off mine yesterday. Batteries are not covered under extended warranty. They have their own warranty, and by the time they need replacing, it's a mute point. Batteries usually last three to five years, sometimes you can get more. That it's not starting the car indicates that it's nearing the end of its days.

Makes the car pop. What blue is that? Looks great.

Took this from installion instructions for nav radio. "The GPS antenna should be mounted behind your radio just beneath your dash top under your windshield. The GPS signal can be increased by adhering the antennas magnetic base to a metal surface. Plug the pink GPS connector into the matching fakra connector port on the back of the navigation radio." Sounds like you should be able access the antenna after removing tbe head unit. Follow the pink connector wire up to the unit.

Something similar seen in the Fusion forum. Maybe this will help. http://www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/13214-heater-blower-motor-stops-and-starts/

If this failure happened at ~50k miles, wouldn't Ford cover it under warranty?

Ouch. Makes one wonder if the gears were heat treated properly.

Excellent argument, but how do you explain that the majority of cars over 100k and don't have a PTU problem? MacFordEdge went 200k if I remember correctly and I have over 100k on my MKX. I asked my service manager about the PTU a couple of years ago. He said they replace two or three a year, not all that big a deal. I asked him what did he think was causing the failure and he said (don't know if it was the local dealer or Ford he was referring to, but it was clear he was well advised on this), that they had traced the problem to a leak in the seal. If the fluid leaked out of the seal the remaining lubrication would cook and stop lubricating. They also found my seal leaking around 90k (told me it's one of the things they look for at each oil change) and I had it changed under warranty. No drips under the car, they said there telltale signs and that it was only leaking while driving. Drips on the ground come at later stages. (Presumably after the fluid was cooking). Anyway, I'll have the fluid changed around every 36k per the owner manual. (Severe service). I have to believe that if it was just the location next to the cat, this would be common to all AWD & I would think we would be seeing a much larger percentage of failures. I have to believe Ford engineer's did their due diligence and knew full well the area thet were installing it into. Heat shield?

Vacuum leak, dirty injector or O2 sensor going bad. I would consider adding Techron for a couple of tanks to see it it helps.

Don't think I've every had a firmware update in my 09 MKX. I would try pulling fuses for 15 m to 1/2 hr to let caps discharge. Radio setting in car for months on end is no different than sitting on shelf, so I doubt that in itself is the cause. May have experienced a spike when reconnecting battery after so long a layoff. Should have 2-3 fuses to pull.

Checked the lawn tractor today, drained a little out into an empty dry meat jar and let it cool on the patio while I drank a Bud Light. Set up for a test and had another Bud ileght. Pourd a lettle oil on the tester and ran the test. #1 green. Like new okl!! 2nd year on this oil and still like new! Celibacy not changing oil be resting on patio abd enjoye another beer. Ah, love texhology.

Why not try replacing the blower motor and fan assy. Thirty or forty bucks. No more problem. https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=automotive&keywords=blower+motor&linkCode=ur2&tag=viglink21335-20

Does occur on all speeds or just a single speed?

In the electric copy of the 2015 OM I've seen, it was on page 366. (Also make certain that the car is in park when you are attempting to connect).

"draining water from ac line"? Are you saying that you opened the sealed system and drained it, or that you drained water from the hvac housing? If the first, you released all of the refigerent and will need to get the system recharged. If the second, there no corrolation between unclogging the condenser housing drain and the failure of the AC system (unless you somehow punctured the refigerent lines somehow). Have you checked the fuses? What exactly did you do?

I searched the forum to see if anyone else had posted pix or site info and didn't get a hit. My apologies if I missed the post. (A few pix have been posted in the MKX forum). This site is showing 18 photos of the 2019 Lincoln MKX. Grill change, headlights look to be in two rows, new taillights. Side view looks similar to the 2016, 2017 imo. https://www.motor1.com/news/149767/2019-lincoln-mkx-restyle-caught/

What else would anyone use with Winows XP?

How old is your battery? (Thinking that the battery is getting low on electrolyte allowing the battety to overheat and drop voltage).

I bought a lubtricheck oil tester mainly to check my oil for signs of coolant. Used it for the first time tonight, checked the wife's car. Got a blinking red light indicating that the oil was dirty and needs changing. (No surprise there, been 9 months). Checked mine, has <5k on the oil, but it also read that it needs changing (but no coolant in the oil - yea). Checked it using brand new synthetic and it read 1-green indicating new oil. Plan on checking Simplicity Lawn Tractor this weekend and the standby emergency generator. This little meter lives up to its hype. You start by ensuring that the test grid is completely clean. I wiped it clean with a paper towel and then wiped it with an alcohol wipe. Set it to either gas or diesel, turn it on and it calibrates itself. You then put approx 5 drops of engine oil from the dipstick, on the test grid. Press the test button and in a few seconds you get a reading of the condition of the oil and whether there are other contaminants (like coolant) in the oil. Takes all the guesswork out of when to change the oil. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HBAG9AC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hCUxzbFF5EP1X Looks like it's not on Amazon any more, here's the maufacturers website. http://www.lubricheck.com/ Addl note, went back and checked again today (got reading the instructions after test (((yes I know))) and got an 8-fair. Apparently I checked it while the oil was still warm. The instructions 《clearly》 state that the oil is to be at the same temperature as the tester. Still it's time to change.

20", sorry. I use an Android - fingers too big, keys too small.

Chrome trim with redish-brown discoloration streaks. (Not rust). Tried everything, vinigar, bug & tar remover, various metal polishes, everything I could find. Stain seem to be embedded into the chrome surface. Finally tried Bar Keeps Friend. Made a thin paste and let it set for about a minute, maybe a little more. Wiped it off and the stubborn stain was gone.

Silly question, was reading in another forum where a fella changes his tires each summer & winter (18" winter, 29" summer), and it throws off his nav system. He takes it to the dealer who disconnects the battery and resets the system. Everything is OK after that. Anyone have any thoughts as to why?
