  1. Sounds like tire balance. One reason they may not have found the problem is most balancers only balance up to 50-60 mph. Never had anyone try to balance at 80, I imagine that you would have to ask for it specifically. (And then the balance could be off at lower speeds like 40-50. Always a compromise.) Also, tires tend to go out-of-round and still balance ok, from making a hard, panic stops. (Even a singe panic stop at high speed can burn off tread in one spot enough to cause it to run uneven.) This would be more prevalent with old tires, those that have less tread depth to burn off. It may be you just need new tires; how much tread is left?
  2. For years our local Ford/Lincoln dealer sent all the alignment service diwn the street to a lcoal professional alignment shop. They finally invested bookoo bucks in a top of the line alignment machine and now do their own. Agree with burrcold, dealer had his chance, go with a local professional. One that has "alignment" in their name.
  3. I could be wrong, but I didnt think that you could use a USB 3 memory stick in these audio systems. USB 3 is a much different animal than the older USB 2 and 1 memories.
  4. Honestly I don't know if they come with instructions, but I doubt it. You really need a service manual for this, should be able to find a software version on Ebay for cheap.
  5. 60° conical bevel lug nuts. Responded in a different post. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/gor-61148bcx Note these may not be the proper lugs, just an example.
  6. Sounds like they're requiring a 60 degree, Conical seat lug nut. Example: https://m.summitracing.com/parts/gor-61148bcx
  7. Some brands of jump drives have LEDS that draw too much power.
  8. Recall https://www.google.com/amp/www.autoblog.com/amp/2014/01/16/ford-recall-28k-edge-crossovers-over-fuel-line-leak/
  9. Gary Dahl. Died a multimillionaire. Also developed "Sand Breeding Kiits" and "Red China Dirt." Great character, just ask my pet rock, Booberlicious.
  10. Too much light would exceed FMVSS and all state DOT laws. Running with these on could get a nasty ticket.
  11. If you do replace the actuator make certain is to check is the 60% seat recliner synchronization. If you fail to follow the instructions for this, the seat back and seat belt could fail in a crash. Your problem could also be a broken recliner cable.
  12. Look on the bright side, they didn't charge you for the paint chips.
  13. You certain that your hitch was factory, or dealer installed? In either case, I would not cosnider anything but oem harness to prevent any potential problems.
  14. I use one simular to this, bouget off an infomercial. Works well, but still needs elbow grease.
  15. Could there be corrosion on the connectors that is getting wiped when you remake the connection, and re-corroded in a short period?
  16. In snow, my MKZ is great. On ice, ...... ahhh not so much. It's a heavy vehicle and stopping can be a real cardio thrill. But I'm glad I have AWD, even with the extra hardware that can fail.
  17. Pulled this from the owners manual : "Trailer tow connector (vehicles equipped with a Class II trailer tow/prep package) The trailer tow connector is located under the rear bumper, on the drivers side of the vehicle." Based on this, it would seem that the connector is only part of the Class II option (furnished on the 3.5L engines) and not part of a factory Class I system (used on the 2.0 & 3.7L engines). The manual also states "Do not splice into the vehicle lamp wiring for trailer lamps. Your vehicle uses an advanced electronic module to control and monitor your vehicle lamps. Splicing into the wiring or attaching wiring to the vehicle bulb may DISABLE the rear vehicle lamps or cause them not to function properly. Your lamp outage feature may also be disabled or provide incorrect information." so the use of a factory harness would seem to be manditory.
  18. Could try running a self test on the climate control module. Procedure was explained in the post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15071-climate-control-problem/
  19. That would seem to rule out the remote, is it OEM or a Chinese copy.
  20. 1st listing? (Not certain). http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/CatalogResults.aspx?y=2007&m=Ford&mo=Edge&initSearch=1&keyword=Moonroof#Search
  21. Ok. Here's a link to someone who had the same problem. Found that the surfaces of the internal switch contacts were flaking off, falling on the circuitry and triggering the hatch. (How old is your remote)? http://www.fordescape.org/forum/showthread.php?t=674
  22. Reported before. We're you in the cargo area after returning home? (May have sensed an item blocking the close and reopened, un-noticed by you). http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/7569-phantom-power-liftgate-opens-by-itself/
  23. Definitely use OEM motor mounts. Used a NAPA mount on a ford one time, thought I was driving a WWII army truck afterwards. Noisy, rock hard, vibrations, nothing like the original. Popped it off and put on a Motorcraft, instantly turned quiet and smooth. Learned my lesson.
  24. If you only need to blank the lights out on rare occasions .... put duct tape over them. Camouflage duct tape of course. lol
