FordeEdge 2011 AC blower turns on and Off
enigma-2 replied to TARiQ's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Start by reprogramming the HVAC module. With the doors closed, press the climate control power button simultaneously with the defrost button. Hold for 10 - 20 seconds and release. Then press climate control power button one more time and the HVAC should reset. If it's a glitch, this should fix it. If not, I'd suspect the module itself. -
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, yes. A brittish motor home!

Several videos on YouTube. But don't fool yourself, its off-road capabilites are limited. It's still built on a car platform, not a truck.

Wonder if the ignition switch is failing. Try testing it by turning key to "RUN" position. Check what voltage you get at the + ignition wire that goes to a coil. Should be 12 Volts. If not, the ignition switch is suspect. (If no voltage, try turning off, removing key and back to run. Perhaps it's intermittent.

Goto Tirerack.com, put in your car, year and color, choose wheels and it will display the combo. Can view several different wheels and get a feel for what looks good to you.

Climate control going nuts
enigma-2 replied to 4xgator's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
On my 2009 with automatic temperature control, the fan runs continuously (usually on low, but its speeds up to make when needed). I have a manual override if needed but usually just leave it on auto. When you say it starts up, do you mean it goes to high? Its been discussed here before, turned out to be the module. -
Good writeup. Judging by looking at the pictures, it's a wonder that more lock lineages don't come off. Thanks for posting. As for why, my guess is someone replaced the handle. Last year I was at Walmart. When I got to my car, the entire outer handle came off in my hand when I pulled on it. Replacing it is easy enough, remove the screw in the end of the door and the handle pops off. May have popped off during a handle change and the mechanic (home or incompetent) either didn't notice or care. Just a guess.

Before you consider a new APIM ($$$) check the GPS antenna connection on the back of the ACU (radio). Also check for corrosion on this connection. When the ACU loses the GPS signal, it maintains the navigation by "guessing" based on speed and time. When the GPS syncs up again, it updates the screen and the map "snaps" to your current location. I wonder if the real failure is the GPS module itself. I don't know where the module is on your car, on my 2009 MJX it's above the radio, under the speaker. My guess would be the GPS antenna or module.

Like dajo2012 said, fuel injectors. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00092893E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_J87GFMXBP6BEP5J3A47H

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

That makes it a PITA to read in your living room. But you val always download a PDF version for your cell/laptop/tablet. -
Backseat cigaret lighter replacement
enigma-2 replied to AviZ's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I think that all that does is provide 12 volt power. I believe what the OP wants is a true USB connection (so he can connect to Sync). Can't do it with a power adapter. (Most cell phones come with a 12 volt power cord that does the same thing as this adapter). To do what he needs, he must add an USB cable to the location (the Edge/MKX actually has 4 USB ports, but only 2 are wired) and add an USB connection point. Several years ago someone in the forum showed how he added a connector to add 2 more USB ports. Couldn't find it using search, but as I remember it, it was a simple connection using a new USB cable and connection point. Edit. Found this. May or may not fit the bill for your needs, but a starting point. -
2018 MKX Auto Liftgate Disable
enigma-2 replied to JacobZ06's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Ought, ought, ought, I got it. A condom held on with a rubber band...... We can call it "connectorception" and sell it on Amazon for $4 each. 什麼? -
Are you able to pull codes? I remember that there were a lot of similar complaints about the 2016 system. If I remember correctly, the fix was to replace the APIM.

Keep us updated on what you find. BTW, not all NAPA parts are good quality. They work, but they do cut corners. I usually specify Motorcraft parts (even at the Ford garage. They have a habit of using NAPA to keep costs down). NAPA of today is not the NAPA if yesteryear.

2018 MKX Auto Liftgate Disable
enigma-2 replied to JacobZ06's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
I'd recommend coating the electrical connectors with an anti-corrosion spray if they're going to hang free under the car. Road salts and dirt will take its toll and you may find it difficult to use in the future if you change your mind (or when you sell car). -
P0171 & P0174. Problem on the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, dirty or faulty MAF. Over oiled filters will cause the MAF to attract more dirt Downstream vacuum leaks of the Mass Air Flow sensor Possible cracks or damage on the vacuum connection or PCV line Stuck open or faulty PCV line Faulty or failed oxygen sensor Failure in the fuel injector A dirty filter resulting in low fuel pressure Exhaust leak of the first oxygen sensor and engine Look for vacuum hose/connection leak. I had a hose crack and got these codes (Ford fixed under extended warranty. Years ago and warranty paid $160+ (forget exact cost)).

Wonder how they'll top this next year. (heh).

..... not if your wife see's this.

The mini spare tire option is the 51Q package and costs $100. (Well worth it in my opinion). I didn't see any limitation when using the 401A or 66P brake packages. Best to talk to a local agent to confirm. https://www.group1auto.com/carresearch/VehicleQuickQuoteForm/year_2021/make_Ford/model_Edge/trim_ST/id_47635/confid_group1auto-responsive/section_Options/

Try this, put the key in and turn it to the start position. While holding it in the start position, move the gear selector from park to drive and back to park. Turn the key to off. Try starting. (Gearshit not registering in "park"). If not, try putting gearshift in "neutral" and try starting. Another thing you can try is turn ignition switch from off to on 8-times (leave in on) then press the door unlock on the fob, then try to start.
