  1. Wheel bearing (esp rear). Test by turning right or left. If sound goes away or gets louder, probably bearing. (Weight of car changes in turn allows car to lean and increase or decrease bearing load on that side). Other possibilities, under floor insulation loose or bent contacting axle, something touching brake rotor or wheel, center axle bearing.
  2. It may be related to your pulling it out and not getting it to sit squarely on the glass. A wiper needs to sit at a 90 deg angle to wipe properly. When you find out what the problem was, be sure to update us.
  3. That's what I said on a previous message. Yes, the camera + & - wires connect to the video connector on the back of your radio. No, I don't know which pins. On my 09 MKX with navigation, it is pin 1 and pin 7 (directly above or below pin 1). If you can get your hands on the 2012 wiring diagrams, it you can trace the connections. (Usually the video connector is a 12-pin connector). Anyway, that's the easy part. Once you physically wire the camera, you have to turn it on in the apim or bcm (don't know which in the 2012). Apparently neither does anyone else. Finding the addresses involved to change (sometimes you have to change more than one module) will take time. The address may not be universal bc of all the variations involved. Once you experiment and get the camers to work in reverse, you must also calculate the checksum bit. None of this is as easy as it sounds and doesn't look like there's a big interest in the 2012 in the FOREScan forums. Seen where someone did it in the F150 forum, but he also had a problem afterwards. That's why I suggested a p & p approach of just using a kit that handles the connection with a custom harness and programs the radio automatically. This programmer is $180. (No camera, no harness). https://brandmotion.com/product/ford-rearview-camera-programmer-intg-frvc/ This one is $430. (No camera, comes with wiring harness). This module only works with 4" radios that have 75 ohms between pin 6 and pin 12 in the connector. (This is because there are several 4" screens used and this only works with those that have the correct resistance on those pins). https://brandmotion.com/product/ford-myford-4-dual-video-input-interface-for-factory-display-radios-9002-2780/
  4. Does she have a cordless charger hooked up in the car? Known to cause this issue. If not, next time it happens, try starting with the other key. Sometimes this works.
  5. The information is hard to find. Camera wiring is part of it, programming the BCM to turn on the camera is another. Need a harness to connect to the video unit in the ACM. Then which pins to connect with. Then the location address and bit(s) to change using FOREscan. Thought this would be easier. (Ford OEM camera retails for more that this. Lol).
  6. This is what you need. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-CIMWGouwLFB/p_249RVFD79A/Crux-RVCFD-79A.html?XVINQ=GLX&awkw=534667360035&awat=pla&awnw=g&awcr=298136099959&awdv=m&awug=9016241&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxc6PBhCEARIsAH8Hff2O4h_adwHm6I9JowwREHMzcCoj2JpGL2pZT7OHNA4dhf4VFGoYHoUaAha8EALw_wcB

  8. One way to self check for a parasite draw, is to connect an ammeter across the positive lead, then remove one fuse at a time to see which circuit cuts the drain. Once the circuit is found, it's a "simple" case of tracking the wiring back to the device(s) involved. Any wiring modified by you or a previous owner? (Remote starters and cameras are the usual candidates).
  9. Simple. Turn it off if you hate it.
  10. Did you notice an alert in the information center informing you that the AWD was turned off? (It will turn off if it overheats do to tire spinning of overloading). Alert should illuminate if anything is wrong.
  11. The five wires that ohm together are connected at a junction point and come from the battery junction box. Furnishes + voltage. As WWWPERFA_ZN0W stated. Look for corrosion or insulation failures.

    No acceleration

    Sounds like the ECM detected a serious fault and put the car in limp in mode (no acceleration). Problem is, many things can trigger this code, unrelated to the throttle body. I would begin with a full scan of all modules, to see if other modules are showing problems. As it occurred after replacing the valve cover gaskets, it may be fruitful in rechecking all electrical connections that were disturbed and all vacuum lines, for continuity. Its possible you broke a vacuum line (its a 2007 and rubber ages) or pulled a pin loose inside a connector. (Any possibility that a fuse blew when changing gaskets). This site offers advice on this code: https://www.obd-codes.com/p2110
  13. Steam, white "smoke", no codes, first impression is leaking coolant. Look carefully over the engine for tell-tale signs. Look for wet. Check temp gauge. Check coolant overflow container for coolant level. (If low, coolant is leaking somewhere). You may be able to see steam escaping with engine running. Are fan(s) running with hot engine during idle? (Can always flip a/c on the max to force fans to come on). If fans not running, car will overheat during idle and low speeds. Feel top radiator hose and bottom radiator hose. (If bottom cool, suspect water pump. If top cool, suspect bad thermostat. Either can cause overheating).
  14. The hooks installed by the OWM weren't for pulling a car from the snow or mud. They were for tying the car to the deck of a ship for overseas shipment. (In other words, necessity). The usualy reason for installing toe hooks aftermarket is to tow the car behind a motor home (not for pulling out of snow or mud when stuck).
  15. You must have two keys programmed into the car, and both of these available for use to program additional fobs. (Page 82 in your owners manual). If you only have one key programmed, you'll need to have your dealer program the new ones, or a local keysmith who has the ability do it.
  16. Maybe they kept golf balls in a glass jar that broke???? Doesn't sound like the previous owner (or dealer) cleaned the car out properly. I'd check the bottom of the consul and under the front & back car seats.
  17. I bought 2 additional key fobs for my 09 MKX off ebay. Bought OEM from an on-line Ford dealer as I don't trust aftermarket. Had the local Ford parts department cut the keys when I was in for service (but I agree with WWWPerfA and Ford is overpriced). Programmed the keys myself. For your Edge, the procedure is on page 119 of the owners manual.
  18. If both right and left mirrors fail to respond in up/down, its probably the switch (common link).
  19. There can literally be many reasons, pulling the stored codes is best to narrow it down. One possibility is the anti-theft system didn't recognize your key (the night before). The cause (possibily) is your cars battery is getting weak and the voltage dropped low. Have a battery load test run to be certain (not voltage test, a load test, one that reads the capacity of the cranking amps or cold cranking amps). Less than 50% of the rated capacity is a battery that needs replacing. If it is the anti-thief, try a reset. Put the key in the ignition and turn on (not start). Leave in the on position for several minutes to recognize the key. Then try to start. Another way is to put the key in the door, turn slightly, but not to the unlock position. Leave it for a minute or two then turn the opposite direction and leave for a minute. Then try starting.
  20. Anything loose in the spare tire well? Have you looked under to car? I'd suspect gas tank or exhaust system may have lost fastener.
  21. 09 was a great year, not much stands out as problems (considering the 07 or 08). So what has she got for options? Color? Thinking of having it modified for accessibility? BTW, welcome to the forum, glad you're here.
  22. Is ok, Mark. I'd rather see a picture of Linda Blair anyways. Something from her grindhouse years would be "heartwarming ". (Ahem). Welcome to the forum.
  23. My car always drips after pulling it in after a rain (or snow). Have a drain in the center of the garage to collect water. So no worries. Let 'er drip. I think I cleaned my garage floor; once. Took half a day and a six pack. But I had help. Neighbor came over to help. I'd do it again (admittedly it needs it), but he moved away. Welcome to the forum.
  24. Why would a US seller sell car parts that only fit cars not sold in the US? Doesn't make any sense. Write the seller (using the method provided in the eBay listing) and ask if they fit the US cars.
