  1. I use one of them on my furnace to remember to change the filter and another one for servicing the humidifier & water softener. Labels work better for me (to make removal easier, I only attach 1/2 the adhesive strip).

  3. When I took mine in, the asst service mgr didn't have a code for change of fluid, couldn't estimate the cost. I had him call up the mechanic and he said, "sure, I can do that, good idea", estimated labor at 1/2 hour and fluid cost. Think I paid around $80.
  4. Mine came yesterday, dropped it in, went with Motorcraft. Got my Brother label maker and put a label on the filter housing with date and milage as I can never remember the last time I replaced it.
  5. You talking about Sync 1 or 2? If yes, would need a product like Lockpick or simular as nav system wasn't designed to take more that one video input. If Sync 3, don't know if Addl hardware needed or not.
  6. Just thought I'd note that I got my rebate check from Mobile, yesterday. Cane in a "tear the sides off, then tear off the top. Looks like a advertisement, so check before you pitch.
  7. Here's a video on how to remove the bumper (with grill).
  8. Both the front and rear washer system use the same washer pump. When the windshield wiper module (wwmm) receives a signal from the multifunction switch, the wwmm closes the relay (inside the wwmm) and sends voltage to the pump. (Pump has two wires, one for front wash, the other for back wash). If your certain that the motor DOES run with a back wash, and NOT RUN with a front wash, could be a bad washer pump (already changed) or a bad windshield wiper motor. (Could be wiring as well, easy to isolate by testing for resistance with a vom). To test with a vom, pull the washer pump motor connector and connect + lead to terminal 2 of connector (- lead to a good ground; ignition on) and see if the resistace is <5 ohms. If >5 ohms pull windshield wiper motor connector (turn off ignition), and connect the + lead to terminal #7 and terminal #2 of the washer pump motor connector (using the - lead). (Tests to see if wiring is bad. Blue/white wire). If resistance is >5 ohms, locate and repair break in wiring. If <5 ohms, check the wiper motor connector for corrosion or bent pins. If connector looks ok, wiper motor is probably bad.
  9. Well, as I drive a lincoln, I prefer a chandelier, but each to their own. Heh heh
  10. Have you updated your phone with the latest OS? Don't know about Apple, but Android was just updated in June (might make a difference).
  11. Given any thought to plastic diping it? (Same color as car). Cheaper and easier.
  12. Ahhh it's blurred? You have a paddle fan in your garage? Never thought of that!
  13. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, perhaps you could have worded this a little differently. This is a "G" rated forum after all.
  14. Welcome Papa. Never too old to have fun driving a new car. (Esp a new Edge. You're gonna love it).
  15. In keeping with what changes for 2017, perhaps on the MKX, how about: Bridgestone Airless Tires? Cars that park in the garage by themselves? IR heads up Fwd looking display to display the road in inclimate weather? More knobs, less menus? Sunvisor extensions (for when the sun is low in the sky). Drains on EVERYTHING that contains fluids, transmissions, transfer boxes, brakes, power steering, etc. And for the drop dead, absolute best sales gimmick ever; exterior paint that changes color per users preference. (As an upgrade option of course). Some days I prefer white, some days I feel like blue, or black or green or gray or .... How about a cylindrical pocket in the front door interior cover to store an umbrella. (Branded merchandise of course). HOW ABOUT A "GOOD" MAP SOFTWARE, not the total crap you have been using.
  16. Like this? ($200 has cracked but can be sealed with clear adhesive) Ebay item #2722662181795 Also 272274622644
  17. Nice option for the mkx/edge would be a heads up ir display (for fog and winter weather).
  18. "Note: Apple CarPlay is available on 2017 model year Ford vehicles with compatible SYNC 3. Owners of 2016 model year Ford vehicles with SYNC 3 are required to perform a software upgrade and purchase a hardware upgrade to use Apple CarPlay. Please check back on the Ford Owner site this summer for more information about these upgrades." Added note, I took this off the Ford website. .
  19. So, I guess that you would find fender skirts cheesy too. lol
  20. Colors are usually picked based on the state of the economy. As we're in an election year, and the economy next year will be influenced dramatically by the next president, it's really too soon to call. Picking car colors is a science of itself at Ford.
