Both are 315 mHz. Difference appears to be the size and type of wheel they fit (chromed plated or machined aluminum wheels). May want to talk with your local dealers parts department to see if they work with your particular car. For example, the 7L1Z1A189A sensor is designed for the 2007 Edge with 17" wheels, 18" machined aluminum wheels & 20" wheels.

Your probably right. I was keying off having water in the oil 'and' low compression in couple of cylinders. Didn't think a blown seal on the water pump could cause low compression. That and he has a 2013. Seems I read somewhere that ware pump failures were more prone on 07-08 3.5l. Sy have been a TSB which only covered those years, but nonetheless all other years are still vulnerable. As for why it didn't want to continue to run, maybe the low compression played a factor? As for your Edge running hot, I would imagine you would want to rule out the thermostat first. Never replaced one on the 3.5l, is it easy to change or a pita like everything else?

Responded in a different forum. Please don't post multiple posts in different forums, on the same problem. Pisses everyone off.

Have you though of replacing the switch? Removing the rear door trim panel is simple enough: -Remove the handle bezel by pulling off the screw cover, removing the screw and the the cover itself -Lift and remove the door window control switch matt -Remove the screw -Remove the 6 trim panel screws -Disengage the bottom of the trim panel edge by pulling outward to disengage the push nuts -Lift trim panel upward out of the belt line moulding -Remove the trim panel for door and disconnect electrical connectors. With trim panel off, you now have access to the latch assembly with the failed switch. From the looks of it, you should be able to remove the trim panel in five minutes. I remember seeing one video on YouTube where the fella was able to remove the switch from the latch without removing the latch. (Takes more time, but removing the latch may prove to be the better way to go).

I have 20's on my MKX and it rides a lot rougher than the MKX loaner I drove which had 18's. I believe the type of tires on the car can affect the ride as well. I'm running Bridgestone's.

Could also be a blown head gasket; compression drops on the cylinders blown, and coolant leaks in. It's possible to have a new gasket installed if there's not too much damage in the bearings from the watered-down oil. They can actually take a lot of abuse. Depends on how much water got into the oil. Had this problem years ago, spent around $800 and the car ran fine for couple of years until I sold it.

I got a second "we still haven't forgotten about you and will fix the passenger airbag in your 2009 MKX when we finally get replacment airbags or you sell the car first" letter last week. Their still thinking about me. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy deep down inside. (Course that could be the glass of wine I just drank). "Here lies enigma-2 His airbags need to be replaced He hit a bump and they went boom, And now he's spilt in two".

Cute! Pix didn't turn out clear (auto lights in the garage are always on when anyone is in the garage). Reason I posted the link, has pictures of what it looks like projected on the ground). ?

I kept the old ones. Kind of a fun thing, not really useful anyway. Thanks for the heads up, know what to expect.

Just installed new puddle lamps with LEDs and laser LEDs projecting the word "LINCOLN" with the Lincoln star on the ground in front of the door. There's a model for "FORD" as well.

According to Car & Driver, there's 110 lbs in a modern Bentley. So at least half that in a MKX.

Yup, I agree. But to make up for the lack of rear windows opening, the Panoramic moonroof pops open. And if you don't have a BAMR (moonroof), the back hatch window explodes.

Could always go reallllly big

If that's the silicone rubber blade, they work great, but winter ice tore them to shreads. Soft rubber, you need to keep the glass clean; dirt and (esp) ice, causes them to wear out quickly.

Consider the price of copper and the miles and miles of wiring that would go unused ... Price point, they submit an order for specific products, it's the subcontractors the are required to warehouse the product and deliver it on a just-in-time need. As to options, every car Ford builds is a special build, the harness is only a small aspect of the total control. Probably the only standardized component is the steel body shell. After that there's color, options, packages, dealer requests, local regulations .....

I was told years ago by my dealer (service rep) that the blades that come with the car are different blades than the replacment blades sold by the dealers. Personally, I've use Trico for most of my life. Have tried most every blade out there at one time or another, but always came back to Trico. One way to extend the life of your blades is to wipe the blades once a month (or so, I'm not consistant on this) with an alcohol wipe. Cleans the dirt off while breaking the oil film that holds the dirt to the blade.

Try pressing the door unlock once (to first unlock to doors). Then press and hold the door unlock for three seconds to open all windows. (I dont remember precisely but I think the door must be locked first for the window function to operate). Also this feature can be turned on and off. Make certain it's turned on. See your owner's manual.

How many hours do you have in it at this point?

Nope. At least it didn't when I had a blow out last month. The tow truck driver pulled out the spare and could only put the defective 20" when over the spare recess. (Too large to fit in the recess).

At the time I never thought to ask, just took their word for this and said ok. Could huse call and ask the service department about it.

My 09 has 100k+. I was concerned about rhis and asked my service rep about the WP leaks. He told me it was related to not getting the coolant changed. Apparently Ford (Lincoln) has changed to a different coolant just to prevent failures. Has to do with old fluid causing corrosion. Service was adamant about getting me to change coolant to new type.

Couple ways to tell: SEL has the backup alarm when you backup and there's an object behind you. SE doesn't.SE exterior mirror caps are black, SEL mirror caps are color matched.
