enigma-2

I can turn my display off in my 09 MKX. I agree that it can be a little distracting at night, I'll sometimes just turn it off.

So much great information in this message, like to see it pinned.

Would hitting a chuck hole at speed cause this? Glad ro hear everything's good to go on the Edge. Still covered by the extended warranty? That just paid for itself.

Talked to the dealer and he said I could schedule at any time, just bring it in near empty. Asked what if I had to replace tank, he said they have been stockpiling ranks and have half-dozen on hand. (FWD, not AWD). Told him I have AWD and he said would take one extra day, and they would supply a loner for the time they had it. Would have to bring a tank in from Ford parts warehouse. Also said that cars specificly not noted in recall (not registered in snow states) will be serviced under recall, if found to be leaking. However, if checked and found to be okay, owner would be responsible for labor.

Hey jsmith, that's an outstanding writeup. One of the best I've ever seen, every thing is crystal clear. Thanks so much for posting this. If I ever need to replace my pump I'll remember you. Btw, how many miles do you have on your edge?

Does your car have a Sirius receiver?

I have one of the older units with a hard drive. Is it just songs or can one dvd's as well?

The Silverstar zXe bulb is more for appearance (bluer). The Silverstar Ultra is a better bulb for seeing. (The zXe was designed to mimic the color temerature of HID and the intense blue actually reduces your seeing ability - blue focuses at the wrong part of the retina than redder light). I put in Ultra's for both low & high beams, well satisfied. Like to see a comparison between the Ultra and the Nighthawk's however. Here's a link where Ford discusses night vision and lighting: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/NVS/Public%2520Meetings/Presentations/2004%2520Meetings/Farber.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwiSyIb-9rnJAhVC6CYKHeCSCsIQFggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNEkCvk-AIEvinLfYIhAF2z7TUbFGA&sig2=Xyzt857Q7T2IUV5iu2g3dA

If your looking for just emergency chains to carry should you get stuck, and can be used on aluminum wheels, look at these: http://www.amazon.com/Zip-Grip-Go-Cleated-Traction/dp/B009M6TXLU

Here's a good article on sizing based on clearance. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-snow-tire-chain-comparison.aspx#Clearance

Curious that it's reading okay below 65 but not above. Wondering out loud... if the vibration was wheel balance, would that be enough to cause the sensor to stop reading? Or do you believe that the sensor itself is causing the vibration at speeds above 65?

Ford is dodging. I had to replace the booster on my 20 09. (Was covered under extended warranty).

There are two recalls on the 08 for fuel tank. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchResults;jsessionid=hC1XWbfJYh2jk6H2yTPGLMt2tSHgLJk0LcNC2rpC1V3wCfQ1T8m8!1016641107?searchType=PROD&prodType=V&targetCategory=A&searchCriteria.model=MKX&cmplCount=10&rclCount=1&invCount=0&tsbCount=5&activeTab=0&stats=325631%2C2%2C2%2C49%2C10%2CMKX&makeStats=&jsonBaseURL=%2Fdownloads%2Ffolders%2F&searchCriteria.model_yr=2008&searchCriteria.make=LINCOLN&searchCriteria.prod_ids=325631&submit=Go In reading the 08 & 09 recalls, it appears that they overlap, running from 2006 to 2010. Looks like they finally included the 2009 & 2010 models (for one of the recalls, they must have changed the design between the 08 & 09 models).

You are correct. I d/l Edge manuals & looks like _only_ the 2015 requires one to disconnect the battery.2012, 2913, 2014 & 2016 read like my 09, just run 5-minutes after 6 hours. Another reason to pass on the 2015.

Where was the temple?

Interesting. How would a H9 work in an 09 MKX? (Wouldn't want to throw glare into oncoming traffic ).

Just don't forget to throw a couple of newspapers on top of the mats to protect them. 'just kidding' LOL. You will find, like the rest of us have, they are the perfect solution to road salt and winter slush.

Although the multifunction switch is an integral part of the circuit, I would suspect either the wiper motor or the motor connector has corrosion on the terminals. Try operating the washer and see if it works (circuit runs through the motor). If the washer circuit works, pull the motor connector and check for corrosion. If it doesn't work, suspect the motor (contains several electronic components, besides the motor, any of which could be failing. The washer also runs through the same electronics.)

I had a simular problem inasmuch as there was so little clearance. I ended up using a crow's foot socket to apply enough force on the socket to get it to turn. I used a 7/8", fit just tight enough to get a grip on the socket. Made it "much" easier to remove and replace.

I switched to Silver-star's. Prefer the "whiter" light with excellent brightness (for halogen).

I have an 09 MKX and don't know what has changed in the 15. So why are you disconnecting the battery? Owners manual simply states run engine for 5 minutes before towing each day and after 6 hours (to recharge battery).

2013 Tl of all payments:$276x2x12x6= $39,744 Tl of Interest: $276x0.065x2x12= $2,583 2015 Tl of all payments:$290x2x12x7= $48,720 Tl of Interest:$290x0.0299x2x12x7= $1,457 Anyway, as you do a lot of driving, if it were me, I would go for the 2015, with its newer technology and warranty. (Assuming you can afford the extra cost of the payments). Here in Indiana, we would also have to consider the additional cost of 7% sales tax and excise tax imposed on the license plate. Don't know what additional taxes you have to consider up north, but would need to take these into consideration as well.

As the H9 doesn't have a blacked out tip, wouldn't it cause more glare for oncoming traffic?
