  1. Are referring to a BT4Z-6B209-B? Have you tried from a Ford dealership in your country?
  2. Just to clarify, you're looking for a "door check assembly" and NOT a bottom hinge; correct ? Can you list your 2007 Edge's model, fwd/awd, engine to help identify. Have you considered removing the broken stud and reusing the existing door check? (You're going to have to remove it when installing a new check anyway).
  3. If your concerned about having open holes (abet 1/16" dia), consider drilling larger holes, 1/4" for example, in the back where they don't show, and covering with Gor Tex. The material prevents liquid water entry while allowing water vapor to pass. This could be accomplished with self-adhesive patches that are easy to apply. (The fix is to vent the interior water vapor to the atmosphere. It appears the existing vents are not functioning). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WTRDKMP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_88PT3ZZ5MJRFTQVYQXZ7
  4. Here: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/howto-downgrade-sync3-v3-0-back-ford-official-v2-2-build-17011-a-398097/
  5. I remember reading that new tires will sway at high speeds, until they break in. In a towing situation, others reported lowering tire pressure helped in a sway situation at high speeds. Could try dropping 5 psi and see if it improves.
  6. LEDs are not bulbs. They are chips soldered onto a circuit board or attached to a plastic backer (they're an integral part of an assembly and not replacable). The actual number of the LEDs used in these assembles are not known (other than to Ford and the supplier who's manufacturing them for Ford. Being a nonserviceable part, Ford doesn't release that information). Even if uou disassembled the lamp, you still wouldn't be able to identify the LED. All of the incandescent and high intensity discharge bulbs used are listed in the chart you posted. All other fixtures are non-replaceable LEDs.
  7. Been talked about here and in several other ford forums. It seems that even the factory authorized replacment units mist up. I have never had any problems with my MKX light bar, but - if it were me - I'd drill several tiny vent holes in the bottom of the fixture. It seems that the moisture gets in and, being nearly sealed, can't get out (or do they use some Gortex to vent?) Moisture is a pressure and the sealed lens unit lets it get in (as the interior is very dry, ( i.e. low pressure) but not really enough pressure differential for the moisture to force its self out. I would imagine that a few small holes should fix all that as there has to be a path for the moisture to equalize.
  8. Radar detector have been discussed here in the past. No doubt you chose a good one. Personally I use an Escort Passport Max 360c. Shows which direction the police beam is coming from (front, back, left, right), displays several radar lock-ons, frequency, beam strength and other stuff. Excellent false rejection filtering and auto memorizating of existing doors, etc. Also have the ability to show what other Escort owners are picking up on their units (units sends detections from any particating unit to the cloud and downloads to others. You see a map (like Google maps) of the area your driving in an where the cops are). Also updates database and firmware via wireless connection. (I also use a Mirrortap harness and Blend mount).
  9. No surround signal being received ? (Ok, I'm guessing). On my THX system, the surround stays locked on, but reverts back to stereo as I rarely play any surround sound DVD's. (If fact I only own a few disks. Too difficult to find, too expensive. But great sound in 96 kHz/24 bit).
  10. Sensor failure is somewhat common, so I'd recommend changing the sensors. But while he's got it apart, I think there are others more knowledgeable than me who would also recommend changing an additional part. (Let them chime in). I think your mechanic is being honest, but conservative. As the tranny wasn't maintained, other maintenance may have been neglected. To be safe, I'd recommend to change the coolant. (Very important). There's a new coolant being used by Ford and you'll need to do a flush as the 2008 used gold. I'd recommend switching to the new light green coolant. Note that not changing coolant on the 2008 has been linked to water pump failure. If you notice coolant low in the overflow reservoir, or the oil looking "milkly" on the dipstick, you may have a failed water pump. This would need immediate attention to prevent engine damage. Repair runs under couple grand. And spark plugs if you can't verify when they were changed last. (Old plugs have wider gaps, which draw more current to spark across, which create more heat. The additional heat will cause coil(s) failure and (possibly) ignition computer failure (if a coil shorts when it fails). (Very important). Dealer cost around $300. If yours is an All Wheel Drive, change the fluid. Your transmission mechanic can do this by pumping out the old and pumping in new. (Very important). Dealer cost around $90. All used cars require certain upkeep, and the Edge is a great car. Given care, there's no reason it couldn't see 300k.
  11. It also states that LED lamps are not serviceable. You can only replace the assembly and not change the LEDs (soldered on, not plugged in). (They are NOT regarded as bulbs).
  12. The bulb replacement chart is on page 289 on the owners manual.
  13. Went through the exact same thing myself. Welcome to the club. Be warned, next week we are going to test you on Sync commands. Closed book!
  14. They reported something similar to this in the Explorer forum and it was traced to the 120 volt inverter. There's a TSB out on it. MC-10140282-9999.pdf
  15. Try your other key to isolate if the key is no longer recognized by the system. Other than that, it could be several items. You may have to take the instrument cluster apart again and check all connections like bucketheadisgod2 suggested. (Where in the hell did you come up with this name, grin). Unfortunately the system cannot be diagnosed by anyone other than the dealer (protective measure).
  16. May be damaged pump from loss of fluid. But still; https://itstillruns.com/stop-steering-pump-whining-noise-7500731.html
  17. Almost sounds like a defective ignition switch.
  18. Test it. Put your finger over the sensor (in the plastic opening under the glass). If this sensor is blocked, the mirror thinks all's dark and will turn light. (I used this method to verify my mirror is working).
  19. Uh huh. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rusty pipes (chuckle)
  20. Not sure. Why not give them a call and ask? 800-298-1624
  21. Was at local dealer today, only had 2020's in stock. Having major problems getting 2021 Nautilus. (Did have a 2021 Mustang on the floor. Think it was called "Puke Orange". Oh my lord what a ugly car. Ugly, ugly, ugly). Production started in March, way behind schedule. Anyway, still no Nautilus, .... but willing to "take my name and call me when one comes in".
  22. IK, had the new Pirelli Scorpion Verde's put on today and my initial assessment is 10 out of 10! Quieter and much smoother than the Bridgestone's. Granted the Bridgestone's had 10k on them but they were never this quiet or smooth as these Pirelli's. (I'd give the Bridgestone's an 8.5 out of 10). But there's no question the Pirelli is better. They matched TireRack price, $70 rebate, used Ford Card so I have one year to pay with no interest, also had new pressure senders installed, road hazard warranty ($125 for 4 vs. $200 for one tire and these 20" tires, just scrape a curb and the sidewall blows out - experience talking), and a four-wheel alignment. Also had the tire glued on with rim sealer. (Sick of slow leaks). Anyway, yes, I strongly recommend the Pirelli Scorpion Verde's. Excellent tire if you like a quiet, smooth ride. 
  23. Yea, I think it has to do with whether the switch is active or not, not what happens afterwards. If memory serves, it's the left button ln the steering wheel and you thumb down to settings, vehicle and liftgate, on/off (i think). Easy enough to check and eliminate this possibility.
  24. As you seem to have addressed everything, I'll offer a wierd suggestion. Reset the KAM.
