CF5V. If it were me, I'd contact technical support at Forgestar and talk it over with them. Dont forget to ask about alignment and AdvanceTrec problems when you alter the offset. techhelp@forgestar.com or 800-788-9353.

What did the battery test on the CCA test?

OEM headlights, or ☠ aftermarket?

Before you head to the dealer, check to see if Sync is working (ties into tbe sound system of the APM). If Sync is out, check the APIM fuse.

Thinking about this, I can only imagine one point where both circuits are in common. In the turn signal switch. It's there where you trigger the brights AND the turn signals (coupled to the tow lights). (Just a thought, could be wrong).

Ford coolant doesnt evaporate quickly. My 09 mkx doesn’t use any to speak of between oil changes. (3.5 Cyclone). Hope your dealer found the problem, my initial guess would center in on the water pump failing (if outer seal is leaking, its dumping coolant overboard through weap holes. If inner seal leaks, it dumps coolant into oil pan. They can test for water in oil to confirm). Could also be a hose leaking or head gasket. Coolant in oil will turn the oil a tanish cream color.

Battery condition, CCA test reading? If CCA reading below 50% battery is bad. Tightness of battery connections? Corrosion? Battery light indicates battery not charging. Did they check the condition of the belt? Tensioner good? How is it they replaced the alternator but didn't find the problem? Not much of a mechanic.

May not be an answer, but I remember reading in another forum where a related problem was traced to "profiles". He found if he deleted his profile, then made his setting selections as a guest, then reset his profile, they stuck. Seems that whatever you have once you create a profile, gets "stuck" into memory.

Motorcraft are rated at 100k miles. Can't go wrong with OEM.

Looks like a 5 or 6 mm box or open end wrench can undo it. (Or use a small, 5" adjustable wrench). How about unhooking the pipe support strap and pushing the pipe out of the way?

Which phone, which model, carrier? Latest phone software update? (Jan 27, 2022). Sync up to date? Try clearing the cache on your phones android connection app. (Settings -> apps -> storage -> clear cache). Try to reverse pair your phone with the car. https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/sync/sync-with-myford-touch/how-do-i-reverse-pair-a-phone-with-sync-with-myford-touch/

It appears that no one really knows the difference (other ford forums as well). Looking at a Ford level 3 horn, it "appears" that it may be dual horns in a single housing. (Two separate horns feeding into a single output). In a level 2 horn, each is replacable. But in a level 3 horn, if either fails, the assy must be replaced. It "appears" that a level 3 assy can replace dual level two horns (same size wire and relay rating).

You said the dealer found the issue to be the oil pump. Your 2021 is still under warranty and Ford will repair. Let them fix it and see if there are any other problems after the repair. These engine certified technicians know what they're doing, what to look for and how to repair. If its a known problem, they know what to do. (P.S. the fun wasn't being directed towards you. Just having some fun to keep things light).

What exactly is it doing? Have you tested for codes? If it's the radio, put it in tbe test mode and check the codes. (To enter test mode, put the radio in AM or FM, press the "right seek" and "eject" buttons at the same time. Hold until it recognizes the request then let go. The radio will go into the speaker all around text. It's loud so be prepared for it. Press "end test" and the radio will go into a mode allowing you to select which test to run on the acu and apim. Exit digonistics will show you what was found.) One other thing to suspect is your battery. Low voltage can cause all kinds of problems. Its not enough to just run a voltage test and say its ok. You must test the battery Cold Cranking Amperes capacity test (CCA). You need a battery that's strong enough to withstand starting without the voltage drop to a too low level. Any battety that tests below 50% of original CCA rating should be replaced. (Even if it still can start the car.) Reason is, the voltage drops too low to support the logic modules and they act like a computer that gets hit by a line spike. Also check for loose or corroded battery terminals.

Ahhhh, you don't work for Frontier Airlines, do you?

Stang is not close to Edge or Nautilus Never really liked it because wheelbase too short and too difficult to see behind when driving. (Last one I drove was the convertible and years ago, but left impression. Ended up buying the Sebring convertible instead). Wondering about the 3rd gen Edge & what changes gor 2023. So far no determination has been made, but still .... Article; https://fordtrend.com/2023-ford-edge/?amp

NHTSA Campaign Number: 22T002000 Manufacturer Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations Components TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected 10,380 Summary.

You could try going to the Motorcraft website, enter your VIN and download the "as built" data file from there. https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt Or you could have your local dealer do it.

What did they find?

The rise of a new Frankenedge. Could always call er the "edgenator"? ... Groan

Seen this pop up in the truck forums when driver has rear camera turned on while driving. (Probably using aftermarket module or harness). He posted a pix and his text was right in the place where a car following behind would be. Some thought the idea was supposed to show contents in bed or trailer hitch, but not cars following. (?) He was advised to toggle through different camera views (2022 my or late 2021 with update). One response was from Ford who asked him for his info so they could look into it. I'd call your Concierre at your dealer and have him call Ford for an answer. Edit. Was talking to another about this, seems related to not being able to use the 360° all around view. If so, appears to definitely be a fault.

This happened to me few years ago and an engine light. Definite gas smell in garage. Dealer tracked it to a split vacuum hose. Said it was on back side of engine (why it took so long to change. Under warranty so no charge). Tech told me they use a smoke machine to find leaks. They hook it up and watch where the smoke leaks out.

Wow. Sounds like they had to pull a lot out of the way to get to the ground terminals. Give it to Rainman Ray and he'll have it done in ten minutes. lol

They must really be bad if their making that much noise. Usually you get a "clunk" when (only) turning where the spring jumps from position to position instead of rotating smoothly with the strut mount. Kind of like creak, creak, thump type of sound. Yours made noise when going straight ahead or back. Sounds strange, but what the hay. And I agree, its somewhat automatic that you replace the strut mount anytime you replace the struts.
