  1. Wow, you rwally like to push the envelope lol. According to the study that posted here a little while ago, a clogged air filter won't significantly affect fuel economy, but it can hurt acceleration by 6% to 11%. Yours may not be clogged, but I would have pulled it and cleaned the bugs out at 30k. I change mine every year, whether it needs it or not. Cheap and easy to do.
  2. It's still staying engaged when opening (all the way open) and closing. Looks like it's a fix. Here's hoping Pedeo2u!
  3. You do have options. You can upgrade to Sync 3 for $1600 or to MyFordTouch WITH navigation for $800. https://www.4dtech.com/products/ford/edge/2013/myford-touch-8/
  4. Pull the fuse. Turns into a manual hatch.
  5. Seen a Youtube video sometime back that showed an access cover under the rear seat that allows the pump/filter to be removed without removing the tank.
  6. I would suspect either the canister purge solenoid as Akirby pointed out, or the throttle body. The oil low light is coming on because the enginge is stalling (and losing oil pressure). Probably not related the oil change, but you need to follow Ford's recommendations to maintain your warranty.
  7. FWIW, the Motorcraft filter needs to be forced down in place. Very tight fit. Be suspect of any filter that fits easily.
  8. Ha, love it. 49 years. Last year I gave the wifiepoo a card that read, "another year of shear bliss" and when she opened it up "no need to thank me". Uh yea....
  9. Thanks. Showed your response to my wife and said "see, told you I'm awesome"! She read it, handed my cell phone back and said "grass needs mowing". (sigh).
  10. You seem to have accomplished something that many Sport owners have looking for, for some time on the forum. The Ford Edge OEM splash guards are not recommended for use on the rear. As you able fit a set, I'm certain that many here would love to hear "how" you were able to trim a set to fit the Sport. Perhaps a quick write up and a pix or two.
  11. If you're feeling intransigently ambivalent, it might pay to formally accept what's already happening - that is, decide not to decide.<<Martha Beck>>

  13. Sorry to hear about the discomfort. If your find your car seats uncomfortable driving is a nightmare. The best way to make the seats more comfortable is to add a topper. http://removeandreplace.com/2015/10/06/top-10-best-orthopedic-seat-cushions-for-pain-travel-and-home/ You might find the following site useful to understand what's causing the pain: http://www.yogaback.com/bucket-seats-why-they-cause-pain-and-discomfort.html
  14. Good question. I've never used KYB but from what I've read the KYB comes with the spring and spring mount bearing (complete assembly, already assembled). However it has a much firmer ride. OEM will give an original ride, may be more confortable. Personal preference.
  15. I had a new set of 20" tires put on in Feb and "brushed" a curb in March. Completely tore a large hole in the sidewall, destroying the tire. An 18 would have scuffed and kept right on going. Dealer rep & I were talking during service. He was telling me about a customer with 21's on his new car. Two months old and he was in replacing his 2nd tire. Pothole on first, screw on second. The screw went in, in tread area, but so little sidewall, penetrated the sidewall at a 45° angle. Tire shot when sidewall punctured.
  16. Try checking the fuses. If ok, I think I would try pulling the fuse and leave it out for an hour. To be honest, I'm not certain which fuse it is, but in the 2012 Edge, fuse #6 controls the RF, #18 controls the PATS, #20 controls the lock/unlock relays (w/o IA), #23 controls the Intelligent Access and #26 also plays a part in IA.
  17. FordTechMakuloco released a new video on how to test the door ajar circuit to determine if the switch is defective or whether the fault lies somewhere else. And how to r&r the switch.
  18. Look under the instrument cluster for a small black box labeled Siemens "CONT.ASY-R/CONT LK & ALAM SYS MN". This is the black box that controls the connection between the FOBs and the doors. Unplug both connectors and leave them unplugged for at least an hour. Then plug the connectors back in. Should fix the problem and the FOB should be able to communicate with the car again.
  19. I've always used a 12# Buford Model 127YR dead blow with Craftsman H11 chisel to set my plugs on my lawnmower. Find two or three good blows about does it. Three layers of my utility bill envelope will set the gap perfectly at 0.03000213".
  20. You might find the following YouTube video on installing a bumper protector useful:
  21. While I find your answer intersting, I find your arrogance appalling. If your unable to remain civil, please leave the forum. None of us wish to be assulted by such vulgar language.
  22. Aftermarket systems run about twice that. http://www.che1.com/product/tl105-electric-tailgate-lift-assist-system/
  23. Check this out, it adds bluetooth and phone through the speakers.http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=1420d
