  1. I also believe that do to lack of use, the lock cylinder is probably gunned up. Second on spraying WP40 into the key slot. Now, some cars have a twist when using a mechanical key. Don't know if it affects yours, don't think Ford uses, but doesn't hurt to try. Put the key into the key slot, but don't turn it. Wait 5-10 seconds then try.
  2. The standard for the Edge/MKX is front wheel drive. To turn a FWD car into AWD car, they add a Power Takeoff Unit, a driveshaft from the PTU to the rear axle, an electronic coupler where the driveshaft joins the RDU and a RDU with active differential. There's no practical way to convert an AWD to RWD without modifying the transaxle. Possibly by changing out the transaxle and installing a transmission from a F150. Would also have to modify the driveshaft and RDU. You could disable the AWD function by popping a fuse or two and make the car FWD only. This will set a code and light in the instrument panel. As an alternative, you could remove the driveshaft. Question is, why would anyone want to?
  3. Not my browser. I'm using Google Chrome. Here's what I'm getting when I click on the link This page isn’t working www.2gfusions.net redirected you too many times. Try deleting your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  4. Fuel pump failure in a 2020 would be considered extremely rare. As you bought it used, I wouldn't get my knickers in a bunch unless other parts start failing. Eco Boost is related to turbochargers. Nothing to do with a fuel pump failing. Fuel pump failures are more related to a load of bad gas with dirt in it, clogging the inlet filter and overheating the pump. That can happen to anyone (in fact happened to me years ago.) Traced to a small operator who pumped out a tank at one of his stations to fill another at another station he owned. He sucked up all the dirt at the bottom on the tank. Couldn't sue as he denied everything. Cost me over three hundred as I had to also replace all filters, carb rebuild.
  5. ???? There's a mat in there?
  6. We're sorry, that number is no longer is service. If you feel that you've reached this message in error, please stick your head out of the closest window and yell at the top of you voice, "I'm sick of this •••• and I'm not going to take it anymore." There now, don't you feel better? I know I do. Your welcome.
  7. Sealed for life is a relative term in which "life" represents the length of the original warranty. 🙂
  8. Check your coolant level. If ok, I'd suspect the heater door is malfunctioning (blocking heated air.)
  9. Not a subscription nor an update. Been on Ford/Lincoln since Sync 1. I know if you don't have a cell phone linked to your car, you'll get a message that 911 is not available.
  10. True enough, but the OP clearly stated he wanted a printed manual. I personally favor a printed manual as well. Clarify: For my car. I actually have all my appliances and equipment on PDF. Great space saver (and I can't find half of the anyway.) Cell PDFs puts everything in one place. .
  11. For whatever its worth, you could pick up a set off Ebay. Since 2015, they should be interchangeable.
  12. @rafeeki posted here back in 2023 that they were discontinued for the 2024 Edge. (As well as a bunch of other stuff.)
  13. Of course you do an alignment after changing any part in the suspension or steering components. The old alignment was based on worn components. Rotate your tires as well. .
  14. Kind of sounds like those pesky flapper vanes used in the air outlets flapping when the pressure (speed) gets high enough.
  15. I believe that this circuit is controlled through the smart junction box. I'd try resetting all the modules in the car by disconnecting the battery for several minutes (allows the internal capacitors to bleed down.) BTW, did you do any lighting modifications to your car?
  16. "Park" is set by moving a small lever (known as a "pawl") into the gear train, which is located inside the transmission. It basically throws a cog into the gears. Has nothing to do with the driveshaft or rear axle.
  17. In addition to what @Haz said, I think id try one other thing, before tearing into the door. I agree that the problem is the release rod, which runs from the electromechanical lock mechanism to the outside door handle, probably has gunk hold it and preventing it from full movement. What I'd do is, remove the outside door handle (one screw accessible after opening door, be very, very carefull and don't drop this screw inside the door cavity, use a magnetic screwdriver) and wiggle the connecting rod up and down several times. Spray WD40 down into the mechanism. Then work it up and down some more. Should only take a few minutes. - Unless you drop the mounting screw .......... :-(
  18. So why not just use the OEM bolts? The ones you took out to replace the arm? Or, go back to the dealer you bought the Chinese, junk aftermarket arm from and have him sell you the correct length bolts. (Some aftermarket arms (Mooge) come with new bolts. According to Truedrive specifications for the 2008 edge lower control arms, they require the use of M12 x 1.75 bolts in bushing.
  19. NHTSA Recall ID Number : 25T003 Synopsis : Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) is recalling certain Blizzark 6 tires, size 235/40R19. The DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact BATO's customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
  20. Is it possible that one has the Beosonic sound system and the other doesn't?
  21. When I last had my rotors / pads changed, I had my Ford service dept go with the upgraded pads. (Same OEM rotors, why waste your money, emergency stops are controlled by tire size, not rotor size/type.) Anyway, I did notice that the braking on mild stops was somewhat improved. That was several thousand miles ago and I've never had a single complaint with these pads.
  22. The car was originally avaliable with 265/40R21's. The only difference is that the 275 is 10 millimeters wider than the 265 tire. Both tires have the same aspect ratio (40) and rim diameter (21"), meaning they will have the same overall height and will fit the same wheel size. So it comes down whether a tire 1/2" wider will fit. My -guess- is yes, but I've been wrong before.
