Leaving fob in car ??
enigma-2 replied to Blmkso's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Some sources state that the fob continues to communicate with the car. http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/sc-motormouth-autos-0616-20160613-column.html http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/sc-motormouth-autos-0316-column.html http://m.autoserviceprofessional.com/article/94711/Today-s-key-fobs-smart-keys-Technological-advances-provide-convenience-and-cause-problems -
Pulsating brakes can be caused by several items. One of the most common is a wheel that was put on and the lugs were not torqued; or torqued in the proper order (IE 1-3-5-4-2 instead of 1-2-3-4-5). This results in an uneven force being applied to the rotor (taking it out of flat). This following webpage will explain this and add additional concerns. http://www.supremeautonaples.com/index.php?page=newsjuly2011

I do! Only 108,000 miles on them. Will need an additional $70 for shipping. ?

DI'd you mean the "FICM"? If so, the Fuel Injection Control Module is repairable for around $120. However it had nothing to do with the climate control or radio, or passenger airbag, or turn signals or anything else besides tbe fuel injectors. Perhaps I misienterperted and there is indeed a FCIM that actually controls the radio and HVAC and airbags. What exactly is the FCIM?

20" to 21" wheels, do I need to reprogram my odometer?
enigma-2 replied to roots57's topic in Wheels & Tires
Peanuts. A set of Michelin's designed for the Veyron will set you back $69,000 and last 6,000 miles. After the second replacment, Michelin requires you to scrap the rims and go with new ones. -
Whatever you decide, check out the quality of the rims before you buy. There are s lot of cheap, Chinese rims sold today that can (and do) fail on the road. (Mainly from hitting a pot hole). I would be especially careful if the price is low. A good starting point is wwwm.TireRack.com [edit] for rims you need to use the full site, not the mobile site. Also, you can use their price as a bargining chip. I quoted their price at my local Ford/Lincoln dealer and they immediately matched. Saved couple of hundred.

Sorry, I may have misread your post. If it's the plastic tabs on the back of the mirror that were broke, it's an easy enough job to just put a new mirror glass on (comes with the plastic mount attached to the new glass). The 08 didn't have the blind spot inset so you can get a replacement glass with plastic mounting tabs for about $24. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Left-Heated-Door-Mirror-Glass-fits-2007-2008-Lincoln-MKX-Ford-Edge-Dorman-56120-/331573169174?fits=Year%3A2008%7CMake%3AFord%7CModel%3AEdge&hash=item4d334d0c16%3Ag%3AhYAAAOSw7GRZMsIo&_trkparms=pageci%253A600ca1fd-4ac6-11e7-9d47-74dbd180b9ed%257Cparentrq%253A7ddb74e315c0ab4d298f3c97ffff7b11%257Ciid%253A3

"Abnorment". Def: lots & lots & lots. Looked it up in my Trumpism dictionary.

"Up to 82% increase in airflow". <shock> So how are they achieving this? By being more porus, I would guess. And if it's more porus, it doesn't trap the smallest of particles, those that will eventually scour the cylinder walls and pollute the oil faster. So exactly how is this filter better than OEM, where Ford has spent an abnorment amount of time studying the best filter to use, to offer the best compromise between engine protection, fuel economy, oil pollution and performance? And they claim justification for charging $62 for their filter, that you can wash it out and reuse it. Three times! First of all that's about the same price as using 3 OEM filters, that you simply throw away. Then there's the questionable use of mechanically cleaning a filter and reusing it. Does the very act of cleaning weaken the substrate? Are you certain to remove all the particles of grit? How much degretation has taken place through use and cleaning? I've said it before, you cannot get better (all things considered) than the OEM filter. And K&N filters were designed for racing, not street use. They will work, so will removing the air filter and running without one. (But at what cost)?

Exterior Key Pad - No code...

Don't think that works on a 14 though. Have to look under the dash or have the dealer read it with a computer. -

Years ago I worked in the city. Everyday at lunch I would walk to a local coffee house for lunch and have to cross an alley. One day an ambulance was waiting to exit the alley and the fool driving hit the horns, (ambulances around here have train horns mounted to clear traffic). I was less than ten feet away. Without missing a beat, I fell to the ground, grabbed my chest and began screaming in pain. (I'm an older fellow). I rolled once and the looked at the terrified driver and started gasping. He jumped out of the ambulance and ran to me, no longer laughing about his prank. Totally panicked. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled his face close to mine and whispered "got ya back". Got up a walked away. Looked back and he was still kneeling in the alley, on the sidewalk, totally stunned, wondering what had happened. I'm still laughing about it. Ah, it's the little things in life ..... What do you need a loud, annoying horn for anyway? My MKX horns piss off everyone just fine.

Sitting on the patio, warm night in Indiana, drinking golden margaritas, eating spamakopia, have a fire in the fire pit and listening to Patsy Cline. I'm reminded of a poem I read as a child, "God's in his heaven and all's well in the world".

Exterior Key Pad - No code...
enigma-2 replied to nittanydoug's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Yes, you can program a couple of codes, one for you, one for your wife. Depending on which code is entered will determine which seat & mirror setting is configured. -
I believe it usually means that one of the doors are not closed. Possibly a door switch is going bad.

enigma-2 replied to nittanydoug's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
There should be a card with the code on it in a plastic pocket in the back of your owner's manual. If it's missing, it's located on a sticker under the instrument cluster. The code is a 4 digit code and also has a barcode on the sticker. -
Believe that export models sold in desert regions also have drain plugs along with specific drain intervals.

HVAC System Question - Vents Stuck ?
enigma-2 replied to ash042679's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Can't identify the code. The service manual I have is for 09 &10 and all of the codes start with "B" (nothing starts with "A"). Perhaps someone else can chime in who has a service manual for the 08. -
HVAC System Question - Vents Stuck ?
enigma-2 replied to ash042679's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Why don't you try running the HVAC module in the diagnostic mode and see if it spits out any DCT's. Press the OFF button and DEFROST buttons simultaneously, then release and press the AUTO button within two seconds. You should see flashing bars and then the DTC codes will appear. On mine (just did thes to make certain that I had the right combo) I am seeing 88 88 as the codes (no codes displayed,my system is working perfectly. 88 88 is end code). Afterwards, press the DEFROST button to put the system back into opetation. It sounds to me as if the HVAC Control Module is at fault. (Did you check all fuses related to the HVAC system)? -
