LOL, I hear ya. ?

Get er done ... yet? How long they take?

If its leaking, first check for plugged drain tubes. Second, consider applying a verrrry thin bead of clear, silicone caulk around the perimeter. Think the part number for the seal is 7T4Z-7850036-A and costs $200 through Levittown Ford. I can't imagine any scenario where this seal can't be replaced without dropping the headliner and pulling both window glasses.

They ARE working ok for me as well.

UCheck for codes P0442 & P0455. Below is an easy way to test for a stuck purge valve. If you only experiencing lower mpg, and the codes don't verify a purge valve, suspect a dirty mass airflow sensor. Easy fix is to just pull off the intake hose and spray with special cleaner.

Simple methods is to squirt in the 7W140 until is starts to overflow and run out. A good choice is Valvoline 75W140. Great oil and comes in a squeeze pouch, makes it easy to refill the PTU in tight places. (This is for a case of four quarts, but only one is needed for a drain/fill). https://a.co/d/e9M7xgw

Either the rear differential or rear wheel bearing. Both create a roaring noise on acceleration, but the differential will also create a roaring under additional load. The differential could be failing if its leaking, running low on lubrication, or you drove through deep water at some point, allowing water to enter the axle, causing lubrication failure. Another possibility is the car was subjected to a towing overload at some point. One method to isolate between the two, would be to lift the rear end and shake to rear wheels. Also rotate the tires while listening to the bearings. An old mechanics trick is to use a long, wood handle (plastic works as well), the slot end on the area of the bearing with your ear on the handle end. Listen for grinding. In either case, something is wearing out in the rear. Have you ever changed the rear differential fluid? Best to do this every 60,000 miles or any time the car has been driven through deep water (level over the rear axle). It's in the cars maintenance manual (at least in mine for my MKX).

It's entirely possible that a fastener has loosened allowing slack to occur in the mechanism. If so, the sooner you correct, the better the chance you avoid real damage (where very expensive parts need to be replaced). It would involve removing the seat (4 bolts, disconnect wiring connector) and examine the drive mechanism. I would suspect a worn gear where the motor drives the seat.

Couldn't agree more. I've never had good luck with aftermarket suspension parts. They work but there's always a growing, or grinding or roar. Never been happy with anything except OEM.

Up to you. Here's what one laboratory thinks about replacing everything three years: GroupAuto Member Directory New research shows that xenon HIDs should be replaced every 3 years FacebookTwitterPrintEmail 25 Feb 2019 Category: Articles, Press Releases, Product News New research shows that xenon HIDs should be replaced every 3 years says RING Garages can help improve driver safety and boost profits this MOT season by advising drivers to replace their xenon HID headlamps if they are over three years old, research from Ring – the vehicle lighting specialists – suggests. Ring’s findings show that while xenon HID headlamps may still illuminate and appear white, after three years the light output will have dropped significantly – potentially below legal limits. In tests done in its state-of-the-art, ISO:9001-accredited beam laboratories, Ring found that the overall lumens light output from four-year-old HID bulbs had dropped by around 17.5% compared to equivalent new xenon HID bulbs – taking them below the legal limits for light output for HID bulbs as set out in ECE Reg 99. The lux output at the brightest point of the beam had dropped by around 59.5% when comparing the old bulb with the equivalent new xenon HID.* Note that this is a UK laboratory and shows the after 4 years HID bulbs fell below their ECE Reg 99 standard. (xenon bulbs were still above the 2750 minimum lumens standard however). You would probably notice an improvement if you installed quality, new bulbs. But you have to balance this against the cost. If money is no object however .... Don't forget to change your cabin air filter & fluids (PTU, brake, tranny, pwr steering & blinker fluids). ?

After you get it out, put a couple drops of lubricant in the motor bearing area. These motor bearings have a habit of drying out.

Sometimes price is not the.main consideration. I've read horror stories about Chinese wheels failing after a few years use. Sometimes at highway speeds. Whichever rim you decide on, I'd recommend you Google the manufacturer to see if there are any problems reported (remember they can change their name at the drop of a hat so longevity in business becomes important).

This particular problem can sometimes be caused by a blocked path between the sensors, dirty safety eyes, loose wires at the sensors or at the motor head, one or two bad sensors, bad motor control board, or one of the sensors has been bumped and is out of alignment. (In my case I had the same problem and finally traced it to one of the sensors had been bumped and no longer pointed directly at the other sensor. Door opens but refused to close as the sensors are there to monitor if anyone is in the doors path). Besides checking the sensor placement, try resetting the unit by unplugging the garage door opener for a few minutes and re-plugging the unit back into the outlet. In addition, try cleaning the Sensors, look for any damaged wiring, check for corroded connection at the sensors. One other thing that can cause problems is the use of certain LED light bulbs in the opener. If your using LEDs, try removing them and see if they are the problem. (If so, replace them with LEDs specifically marked for use with garage door openers).

NHTSA Recall ID Number : 22T020 Synopsis : Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc (YOHTA) is recalling certain Alliance High Speed Rib Implement Tire 12.5L-15 FI, 11L-15FI, Primex Highway R-550 Steer and Trailer 11-22.5, Alliance 317 Implement 10.5-20 IMP, and Alliance Stubble Proof 319 SPH 11L-15FI tires. The date code portion of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) states the incorrect manufacture date on the sidewall of the tire. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires, Other than Passenger Cars." The incorrect date code hinders drivers from accurately identifying the age of the tire and makes it difficult to determine if the tire is affected by a safety recall, which can increase the risk of a crash. YOHTA will replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 09, 2022. Owners may contact YOHTA's customer service at 1-800-343-3276.

but wider tires will ....

And how Ford fixed the problem starting in the late 2020+ engines.

2009 Ford Edge uses a 9005 bulb. A Sylvania 9005 Basic Halogen Headlight Bulb is rated at 1,700 lumens. State laws usually limit the output to between 2,000 lumens to 4,000 lumens. Friend (County) told me they don't get concerned unless the vehicle is throwing out too much glare. Then its usually written as a warning, subject to having it inspected at a later date. A smart ass will get a citation and court date.

On HID cars, the smaller filament is used for the DRL. With halogen lights, the smaller filament is still used for the DRL and the larger filament is then used as the high beam. Apparently the larger filament is not used with HID headlights as its not needed. To remove the HID headlight bulb, the process is described on page 287 in the owners manual (or near that page if you have a different edition). You may have to turn the locking ring with spirited anticipation to encourage its willing co-operation. Remember to never touch the bulb glass with your bare fingies and, if you do, wipe the glass with alcohol prior to reinstalling. (This is true of HID and Halogen bulbs. The oil from your fingers will create a hot spot on the bulb and early burn out from overheating). I always wipe my bulbs with an eyeglass alcohol wipe during installation, just to be certain that no grungy factory worker had his/her greasy paws on the bulb prior to packaging.

As those are HALOGEN, I'd say yes. Less than $250 for BOTH headlamp assemblies? Great price.

According to the owners manual it's the high beam (doesn't mention the use of LED lighting for the 2017). It looks to be a H11 bulb, according to Sylvania specs,, one filament is for the high beam, the other is DRL. Try turning on your brights to see if it comes on.

I was reading this thread again and there was something that bothered me about this. When you train the wheels to the TPMS system, don't they register to a specific wheel position? Left front, right rear, etc. And if you registered a spare, wouldn't that get erased when you removed it to mount the primary tire? Wouldnt you need to re-register the spares transmitter to that specific position again, when you switched to the spare? I know when my dealer registered my car with a new wheel and sensor, he had to walk around to each wheel, in a specific order to get the registration right. I believe they have to reprogram the wheels after a tire rotation to tell the BCM where each of the wheels moved to. Thats why you can only have four wheel registered at any time. If you put a spare on, which has a correct pressure transmitter, you would have to re-register the wheels again. Otherwise you'd get a warning light (because the wheel with the transmitter that's registered to that position is no longer sending information).

I use alcohol wipes (eyeglass cleaner wipes) and then follow with a wipe of 303 protectant. (Provides UV protection slows oxidation and keeps the rubber from becoming hard). Don't know of any screw that adjusts pressure, believe that a spring applies all of the downward pressure). Have your cleaned your windshield? A windscreen with oil smeared on it will cause streaking. If you ever want to super clean your windshield, this works incredibly (rain beads better than RainX and lasts a lot longer). 1. Wash the glass with water 2. Clean the glass with glass cleaner. (I use Windex). 3. Go over the glass with a quality degreaser to dissolve any grease or oil sticking to the glass. This is what I use, but you can use 409, etc.: SuperClean Multi-Surface All Purpose Cleaner Degreaser Spray https://a.co/d/633TSZs 4. And this is what makes the real difference. Clean the windshield with a piece of clay bar. If you've never used it, you break off a piece of clay, and using a spritz bottle with water, wet the glass and just rub it over the glass. If the glass is completely clean, the clay will simply slide over the glass. But if it encounters any oil or grease sticking to the glass, it will drag. You just over over this area until the clay slides freely. Now the glass is super clean and ready for the last step. This is what I use (but any clay bar should work well): Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar https://a.co/d/8ZfclZw 5. Carbona wax. Apply a light coat of wax over the glass and allow it to fully dry. This could take a 1/2 hour or more. When your certain its dry, wipe it off with a microfiber towel, turning often. When its clean, use a new, clean mf towel and polish the glass. You won't believe how clean and protected the windshield is. You won't even need to use your wipers when driving. (I remember going through a car wash and able to see in front of me the entire time. The soap and high pressure spray beaded and ran off faster than it was being applied. If that's even possible). This is the wax I use: Meguiar's G7014J Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Paste Wax. https://a.co/d/g700YvZ
