Believe it's available on the ST and not on the ST-LINE. You can always check in to see if you have one by turning it on. "Carry out the following to activate or deactivate HD Radio: Drag down the top view and tap on Settings. Press Media and AM/FM Radio. Press HD Radio AM or HD Radio FM to activate/deactivate the function."

Think I'd suspect wheel bearing or brake problem.

Any possibility its the water pump or wheel bearing? Water pump or coolant fan will squeal at idle. Wheel bearing or CV joint only underway. May have to take it in and run while on hoist to isolate. Whatever it is, is going to get worst in time.

Probably a bad ACM but might try a power reset. • Turn on and select the am or fm radio. • Hold the power button (think its the center of the volume control on yours). At the same time press the right seek button and hold both for 5 seconds. • When reset is triggered, display will say "resetting" then let go. Have you added anything to the car, such as LEDs? Cheap Chinese LED headlights have been traced to FM interference (sends out an EM hash in the FM intermittent frequency range).

Stop pussy-footing around. Just go full hog https://ironman4x4america.com/snorkels/snorkel-kits/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwna2FBhDPARIsACAEc_UUP0q4--XxbWkqcqruXf9Yz36TWe8hk7nWVOeqfFdqVsAnqNWOTtMaAkYhEALw_wcB

Mine was covered under extended warranty so it didn't cost me anything. Believe the service rep said it would have been a little over $1, 100 with parts, labor and taxes.

I think I know. I'll bet its your HVAC blower motor. My 09 MKX started that same sound, ignored it, went away, came back, went away, came back, went away. Always ignored it. Then it came back with vengeance. S.Q.U.E.E.KKKKKKK. Pulled the blower and motor combo (about two minutes) and shot some lub into the bearings. Been two years, still quiet.

Found a copy of the TSB. Let us know if your dealer goes this way.

Far as I know, this is your best choice for replacing the unit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/06-10-FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY-AM-FM-6-CD-RADIO-WITH-SUBWOOFER-OPTION-6L2T-18C815-BK-/373577836887?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

You have any idea how hard it is for chameleons to get together? "Wait! Where'd she go? She was right there on that branch a few seconds ago."

Any indication on the old unit what was causing the problem? Corrosion on the connector? Gunk in the mechanism that a solvent or lubricant could have cleared?

Wishful thinking but the reality is very different. You’re talking about millions and millions of acres. 193 million acres in fact. And who would pay the billions needed? Taxpayers? Care to guess how many people would be needed to "clear out the dead brush"? Also consider whats green today can be dead and dry in just a few days. There are actually more wild fires in the east. But the west has more open land and the fires there are more difficult to get to and furniture larger areas. Couple that with the winds (think Santa Ana) and its easy to see why the quickly get out of control. According to the Congressional Research Service, in the United States, there have been 1.5 million wild fires since 2000. And there have been 1126 wild fires (on average) between 2916 through 2020. Its just not an easy problem to solve. Impossible actually. That's why California has hundreds of people working on thd problem. Universities, state offices, local authorities and .... the list goes on.

Think it was Lex that did this in his 08 (???) Edge. Anyway here's the link where he explains how he did it (used this cavity, attached camera to cover):

Why do I picture a Ford Engineer sitting in front of his computer reading this going, heh, heh, heh.

MACTFORDEDGE just released a new video where he claims to have found the source od the exhaust smell entering the cabin on some cars. He isolated to the original equipment exhaust pipe flex pipe section and discovered that it had pin holes "all over it". After he changed his, he longer had any exhaust smell in the cabin. He states it wi run around $250 to fix.

Question? Why do you want "brighter , much brighter, much much brighter LED lights" in the first place? You don't need them for seeing. The only purpose would be to blind oncoming drivers. (Yes, even in daylight, bright lights can dazzle or blind oncoming drivers). Concerning safety, doesn't make you more visible, as standard DRL work just fine. And it may violate the maximum amount of light permitted at the front of a car (depending on your state laws).

Don't cover the steering wheel with a cover. It will sense the heat being retained and stop heating. Don't recall Ford publishing anything on this, but Chrysler states "Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause the steering wheel heater to overheat." Consider a comfortable pair of driving gloves.

"Pre-covid", how true. Forevermore we'll be referring to this as a turning point in history.

Why not just switch to tires and rebalance.

I'm still carrying a PremiumCARE on my 2009 Lincoln MKX for two more years, and it's covered. Everything except the usual, glass, tires, battery, etc.

Check your lock to make certain your key still works. Someone may have been trying to break in.

One other thing Haz didn't mention, switch to the towing maintenance schedule when towing. Things like modified changing transmission, PTU rear axle fluids, etc. Whatever's specified in your manual.

Wiring harnesses rarely go bad. Almost always it's related to corrosion in a connector.

Theres a TSB 21-2081 on a 8F35 transmission requiring a software update. Talk to your dealer and see what he says.

Interesting. Does the UK Edge rear windows have one-touch up/down?
