  1. I'll chime in (hold up the midwest side of the conversation), been running Bridgestone Duelers for last six years (replaced in 2018). Well satified, quiet enough, smooth, good in snow (2009 MKX with AWD). Wife running Scorpion's on her Sebring Convertible. Really nice, very quiet and smooth. (But the Sebring is only half the weight).
  2. Kind of sounds like a lifter ticking. But could be several things. Old trick when I worked at local garage was to use a long, wood handled screwdriver. Put it on a place on the engine and your ear on the wood handle. Move it around and you'll quickly find exactly where the sound is emulating from.
  3. Fuse #35 in the passenger compartment fuse box. (But it also disables the AWD & heated seats). Is it on all the time or just when you shift into reverse? I got rear-ended and knocked a sensor out of its socket. It was reading the inside of the bumper as an obstacle unlit I moved it back into its socket. Point is, if its on only when you backup, its probably one of the sensors that's failed. Easy enough to replace (or disconnect).
  4. Hey Macbwt, it's been 5 years. How's it holding up ?
  5. I keep wondering why Ford, with all their expensive, degreed, automotive engineers, and multimillion dollar, worldwide research facilities, never figured out that putting to air intake somewhere else would instantly add up to 24 more horsepower? Years ago I had a business associate who had worked for Chrysler. We had long discussions about automotive engineering. He was extremely knowledgeable about things like this. He talked about how they studied every possible way of squeezing every drol of horsepower out of the powertrain. Squeezing every mpg out of every drop of gas. Granted, automotive engineering has progressed tenfold since then, but so has knowledge. I guess what im ssying is, don't believe the bullshit these aftermarket companies are spreading. If they can do it, Ford would already have done it.
  6. Had this happen on my 2009 MKX years ago. Dealer found a broken vacuum line on back if engine.
  7. Is there any possibility that this is a small exhaust leak? Have you listened under the car?
  8. How long has it been since you ran some injector cleaner through the system?
  9. Based on the troubleshooting omar302 posted, it makes sense to check the alternator connections for corrosion. Corrosion or a poor connection can definitely cause an intermittent fault condition. Wouldn't hurt to pull the connector and spray out with some electronics cleaner. (This is my goto): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_71AA7AFNDSCMFCNT55GJ How's the condition of the alternator belt and tensioner? Reason I asked is, if loose or weak, may not be holding when the system is calling for a heavy load (like cooling fans and the like).
  10. I just happened across this thread. Thought I'd add information in case it may help others. The LG 5 does not have built-in wireless charging, however it can be adapted to do so. This website describes how to add the required hardware. https://gizmoist.com/wireless-charging-lg-g5/
  11. What you're looking for, part 22 or 23 on this diagram? http://www.discountfordpartsfromsoundford.net/FPSS-2014-Edge-Sport-Front-Console-s/162867.htm

  13. My initial thought is your vehicle battery is weak (especially since you are not driving very often). I'd have it load tested (or test its CCA reserve). Normally, most shops tests only voltage which is NOT a good indicator of a battery's internal health. Being retired, I also don't drive as much as I used to. This is the battery tester I use to test both our car's batteries. It tests both the CCA capacity rating, as well as the cars entire charging system. (Also good for testing the tractor and generator battery's too). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IZFNJ6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_5927DG7C5V633JGECH40?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
  14. Lack (or loss) of lubricate. In my wife's Sebring Convertible, I've had one bering replaced only to have it replaced again year and half later.
  15. Like this https://www.getoemparts.com/oem-parts/ford-cup-holder-insert-ft4z5813562af?origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1KiBBhCcARIsAPWqoSo8n-2Ib3uv0f4rTKWBwWEEVpHDcqnmLUYvVdHRg1xnpt7M0tnYmg0aAjz5EALw_wcB
  16. I had a motor mount installed years ago. After i got the car, drove twi miles and went right back to the mechanic. He said he used NAPA. It was horrible. Heavy vibration and loud. I mean really loud. Made him change the mount to Motorcraft. Smooth and quiet. DON'T GO AFTERMARKET with motor mounts.

  19. Sadly I'd have to agree as it requires a glass replacement. You can always buy a replacment off Ebay. (What I did). Easy to replace.
  20. This was seen on the 2019 Edge / Nautilus and traced to a software upgrade.
  21. ?. Have you noticed anything that you had in the 2016 that's not present in the 2021?
  22. When Ford garage replaced my 2009 MKX unit, they said that Ford had revised the PTU. Larger gear, seals (or bearing, guy was was talking fast) and more oil (if I remember correctly). But no drain. Problem with used unit, you don't know exactly what was replaced and what was retained. If you're selling the car, no big deal, if your keeping the car, New unit would be the best choice for longevity. Cheaper too!
