  1. Seen a couple of posts in the F150 forum where the op's were complaining about the USB ports in their 2019's. Dealer replaced as they were defective. (Front only, others worked ok).
  2. You're right, sorry for that. Dealer or locksmith. One hour to do what I can do in a few minutes on mine. Newer isn't always better.
  3. I believe that re-registeing to two admin keys will erase all old keys. (It's the reason you need to program all fobs at the same time). If you still have four admin keys programmed, try using to two you currently have and re-register them. Then see if the other two disappear.
  4. As for replacing just to chrome covers, there was some discussion here a few years ago. One or two had doen it. However i haven't seen these replacment covers offered for some time. (And they were a tad expensive). Removing the existing covers was the real problem. They were glued on and a bitch to pry off. (There was a YouTube video showing how to do this. Lost the link however). If your problem is road rash, there's a couple of repairs you can do that work well. 1. Cover the rash areas with pieces of chrome tape.

  5. @chilli34 What have you done so far? Based on your original posting, it appears that the wheels you bought were aftermarket. If so, only the original dealer can help. But it they're OEM, there's no reason that they shouldn't fit. After all, 20" was an optional size for 2008 MKX.
  6. I could be mistaken, but I don't believe that this is a safety issue. In fact, I don't believe that even a heater is required by the Federal Standards. You can't start a recall over a defective convience item.
  7. This has been reported in other forums. Traced it to bad wiring (believe he found a loose or corroded connector running to the rear speaker).
  8. I have the 20" premium wheels on my 2009 mkx and they fit perfectly. If your wheels don't match either of the ones @dabangsta posted, attach a photo and maybe we can help.
  9. Optional new treadless tires available with the new on the 2023 Ford Edge Titanium.
  10. Look at the flex hoses. One may have been damaged during a previous pad/rotor change (left it hang, etc).
  11. The best Ford Edge & Lincoln MKX model years are 2022, 2021 2020, 2019, 2018, 2014, and 2009. The worst model years for the Edge and Lincoln MKX are 2015, 2016, 2017, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2007 and 2008. The best of the best are 2020, 2021, and 2022 Ford Edge & Lincoln (as would be expected). This is based on auto industry reviews, NHTSA statistics, reported problems and consumer feedback.

  12. Somewhere in a remote engineering building at the Ford Motor Company, a design engineer sits in the dark, snickering quietly to himself, as he remembers designing that stupid, worthless opening in that console, which has no practical use. Wondering how many people are trying to figure out its use, when he simply had an argument with his wife and decided to take it out on tbe design of the Edge. Heh, heh, heh.
  13. These? https://accessories.ford.com/products/edge-2020-2021-gatorback-blue-ford-logo-rear-splash-guard-pair-1
  14. Speaking from 130k+ miles. New PTU, replaced brake booster, 1-tie rod end, windshield washer spray nozzles, 1-vacuum hose, power seat back lumbar assemblies (both drivers and passengers), new TPMS units (one failed, replaced all four), new valve core on spare tire (rotted ftom age), replaced Chrome wheel (hit a curb), new battery 3x, drivers door handle, new accordion sealing strip on drivers side (seals BAMR sliding glass, old seal softened in hot sun, twisted when closed and became fixted in twisted position). New shocks on rear. Recalls; gas tank (was rusted on top), air bags. All prior to 130k, nothing since (so far). All maintenance done at Lincoln (Ford) garage, Motorcraft parts (100%). Routine maintenance done per Lincoln Maintenance Manual (plugs, filters (oil, air, cabin & seat), all fluids changed, plugs at 90k, wiper blades, headlight bulbs. Coolant change over from gold to current. Water pump still good, struts good, transmission & engine good. All systems nominal. No leaks engine or transmission or rear differential. One minor rust spot on roof black strip next to BAMR (hit by flying rock).
  15. Looking at the service manual, 1.If the pedal goes down quickly: brake fluid leaks, master cylinder, hydraulic control unit. 2. Excessive brake travel: leaks, master cylinder, brake calipers, stuck guide pins, flexible hoses 3. Excessive brake effort: weak engine vacuum to booster, booster hose, booster itself, booster check valve & worn pads. I know when I had this problem, turned out to be several problems. The pins were rusted on the rear, rear calipers were not squeezing to pads propetly and the brake fluid was old. Shop kept telling me the back pads were still good, plenty of pad thickness. Finally took it in ordering new pads & rotors on rear, and a complete brake fluid change. Great brakes now. This was after they replaced the booster. I'd be curious about checking your booster for excessive travel.
  16. This video covers 15 through 18 but should point you in the right direction.
  17. One other option, can't vouch for the quality, but this seller offers Sync 3, 2022 map updates for under $50. (Comes on USB drive). https://www.ebay.com/itm/314289908852?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wzK4gUmNQKW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  18. A "hole"???? Oh how 2010! Practically ancient in car years. In all seriousness, how often do you use a key to lock/unlock your car door? I can't remember how many years it's been since I have.
  19. Wasn't the single horn wired directly and the dual setup wired through a relay with heavier gauge wire?
  20. Remember to use the towing maintenance schedule when towing: 3k for the PTU, 30k for trany fluid, check rear end fluid level and condition (every 3k).
  21. Ouch. Considering that Motorcraft shocks sell for less than $70/ea and labor is 1 hour, this place is really padding the bill. If it were me, I'd ask for an itemized estimate just to see how they are justifying such a high price. They must be replacing more then just shocks for such a ridiculous quote.
  22. On a 2019 Edge, theres a couple of methods you can use to find your code if you only have one key and no owners manual key card. You can give your dealer your vin and he can decode it to find Ford's manufacturing number. They ca also sell and cut you another key. The other method is to locate the cars Remote Anti-Theft (RAP) module,. The 5-digit code is printed on a label attached to the face of this module. The module itself is located on the drivers side, rear, behind the cargo space side panel. (Pops off with a screwdriver and clips. I haven't messed with a 2019 but should be able to find a YouTube on how to do it. Should be a 5-minute job). As for the 2nd key, I'd at least start by pricing with your local dealer. Then a locksmith. (Not all locksmiths have the proper key cuttinh machine. Check onlune for one that advertises Ford locks. If he's cheaper, call the parts department back and tell him the locksmiths' price, ask if they'll match. (Ebstablishes this car with a dealer and probably more dependable. They can be counted on should there be a problem with the key).
  23. My drivers outdoor handle came off after coming out of WalMart, late one night. Stood there in the parking lot with the handle in my hand. I went in through the drivers rear door and unlocked the door. It's a streach but doable. Handle super easy to change, one screw just inside door. (In the side of the door, adjacent the door handle). Only part to be careful with, is screw can be dropped inside door if not careful. Used magnetic screwdriver & went very slow. Took two minutes. Latch will take much longer. Think I'd consider changing the door latch switch while the door is open. Bad history on these Gen One Fords. Always use Ford parts, don't trust aftermarket. (With my luck with aftermarket parts, the new one would jusg snap off in my hand again).
