AM Band on Radio Has Ticking Sound
enigma-2 replied to Dmtaurus's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I seem to remember reading a few years ago where this was traced to a coil where a coil skirt was leaking spark, causing the tick, tick sound in the AM band. (Shouldn't hear it on the FM & satellite bands as the noise is clipped below the quieting threshold). -
Ford 2015 Factory HID to LED conversion
enigma-2 replied to h3llr4zor's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I doubt that you would like light from LED after running with HID. OEM LEDs use assemblies designed specifically for their physical characteristics. As are HIDs. You can't run LEDs in a reflector designed for HIDs and get a satisfactory result. (LED headlights don't use replaceable bulbs). HID will dim over time, possibly that's the problem. Don't know how many hours your HIDs have been used over the last 8 years. Maybe you need to replace them? This site discusses HID dimming and what to look for. https://www.xenonsonline.com/blogs/news/hid-headlights-in-depth -
What is this additional hose for?? 3.5 Cyclone
enigma-2 replied to Summers22's topic in 2017-2018 Edge & MKX
Looks to me as if the connector on the opposite end from the aftermarket clamp could possibly connect directly to the connection with the aftermarket clamp is. As if it originally connected there and someone added a length of hose between for some reason. -
Edge ST Leaking rear shock, again...
enigma-2 replied to MrHappy's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Yea, no sh*t. Motorcraft shocks for the rear of a 2019 Ford Edge run under $45/ea. https://a.co/d/h49g4qK What's the "top mount" of the shocks? -
Whether you're able to charge your cell in a 40 minute drive or not is really dependent on its level of discharge and age. If the cell doesn't full charge while on USB doesn't necessarily mean the ports are bad. Cheap cable, dirty connections, heavily discharged battery or old phone are all factors that can contribute to a slow charge. I use a Verizon charger plugged into a front power point. About the best I can expect. USB is slower and the pad (used one in my MKX) is downright annoying (abet convenient).

Noisy hinge cover on arm reast

Save yourself some time. Spray the hinges with silicone spray. -
AC blower fan replacement
enigma-2 replied to ewaters's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Just add to the conversation, few years ago my blower began to make wierd noises. I pulled the blower and lubed the bearings with a little WD40 and Super Lube. Been quiet for a few years now. -
Think we've all asked those questions. Try contacting the guys in Warsaw and see if they can supply. If you're not around the capitol, try Googling for your area. It's not listed in parts catalog, if anyone knows, it's them. Good luck

I've seen harnesses like that as well, but usually only on cars that has the accessory as a dealer option. Just can't see Ford throwing in extra, unused wire on thousands of vehicles that were never designed to use these lights. If this was offered as an option by the dealer, it would be cheaper to offer a kit, lights, wire, etc. than run wiring to an empty spot and just hang there. They watch stuff like this closely. Say 6' of 16 ga copper wire × 150,000 cars. That will never be used. Easiest way to tell is to check the harness part numbers for the Edge that gets the lights and the one that doesn’t. They will be different if the wiring is different. Or just dig around in the area with a flashlight and look for open connectors.

Strut tower bearing. With a frozen bearing, the strut spring starts to twist, can't because the of bearing and slips on the bearing plate, causing a clunking sound.

Good cable? You see this video?

Normally when an a/c compressor needs repair, its repaired by replacing with a new or rebuilt unit. I'd try asking Zabielski Dariusz Zabielski, Orzechowa 25, 02-244. Warszawa. (48) 22 868 38 42 They seem to have good reviews for selling rebuilt units. Perhaps they can secure you the correct bearing.

I can answer the first one. No. They only pre-wire if it's a dealer installed option. And then the wiring harness would be part of the add-on accessory, never left hanging on the car. These lights are not offered as a dealer add-on, so they are not going to waste $$$ installing wiring that will (almost) never get used.

Tail light Condensation

This is how one fixed the problem; claims it took him two minutes. -
Windshield Replacement
enigma-2 replied to 1004ron's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Safelite will do any camera alignment and any programing as they are required to do so. Part of a modern windshield replacment. They'll also replace your wipers if needed. -
Headlight Switch conversion to automatic
enigma-2 replied to D-Weezy's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Great find, but the reviews would make me think twice. Still need 2007 electrical wiring schematics. -
Headlight Switch conversion to automatic
enigma-2 replied to D-Weezy's topic in Accessories & Modifications
You'll need to obtain 2007 Edge wiring diagrams to see the differences between the cars with auto lights and manual. There are many variations. For example, in 2009 (earliest I have) different sensors and wiring are used based on the type of air conditioning used. As does your car have a sensor? Possibly. If you have datc (automatic heating/cooling) you may possibly have a sunlight sensor. The sensor is located at the top, center of the instrument panel. Near the windshield. I would imagine the parts alone would be prohibitive. Different switch, headlight modules (pass/dvr), sensors, possibly a different sjb, etc. Start by obtaining the 2007 wiring diagrams compare the differences. -
I never heard this. Brilliant! Easy test. And for those who hate the ANC, just driving around with a door ajar will kill it. ? Wonder if a faulty door latch (where the interior lights stay on) would also kill the ANC?

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Transmission shops can do it. May have to bring the fluid as they probably don't stock it. The Ford PTU fluid is probably the best for the unit. No aftermarket is the equal. I believe it's probably US Lubricants 300 Waylube, rebanded under the Ford label. These are at the top of lube products. -
I could be wrong, but I thought the ANC worked on the low frequency engine sounds. If you can turn it off via forescan will prove it, one way or the other. Do you hear the sound with the radio off? Does the sound get louder when listening under the hood? Do you hear the sound only when driving, or does it also exist standing still?

There was a guy in the f150 forum that had a simular situation. He tracked the problem to the connector on the back of of the fuse panel. It had worked itself lose. He pushed it back on and his passenger headlight started working again. The best way to track this is to start at the fuse. Check for test light working by ground lead on frame, pos lead on each side of fuse top (the little metal parts on top of the fuse are for troubleshooting purposes). If you get light on each side of fuse, fuse good. Then switch the drivers and passengers relays. If problem switched to drivers side, you have a bad relay. If same, check wiring connectio at fuse panel. (Look under pass headlight fuse for wire.) If good, continue tracking wire into harness and down harness for rodent damage. Basically looking to find exactly where the power stops. Good luck.
