  1. I don't think there's an access panel on the 2015 any longer. As for "jury-rigging" a fuel vent line, no. I'd never think of doing a half-assed fix with anything related with gasoline. Think accidient. Think future owner coming back on you. Think failure and Ford voiding warranties. I would never think of doing this. Be safe and pay the piper.
  2. This brought to mind problem I had with a rental years ago. I was in Central Wisconsin and it hit -40°f (no wind chill) that night. Everyone else had their car plugged in except me (rental). Think this wad around Rhinelander. Went out at 7am and cranked. And cranked and cranked. And cranked. Wentbin twice to let tbe started cool and me to warm. (Did I mention it was 40°F)? Probably near burnt out the starter. (rental). Finally it fired on 3 cylinders. The 4. Then 5, then after running for a couple of minutes, 6. Let it warm up completely while I sat in my motel room and shivered in front of the heater. Finally got on the road and headed to my first inspection. Reverse was like it had syrup in the tranny. Heavy on the gas and jussssst moving in reverse. Now into drive and it refused to shift out of low. I'm heading down an empty, dark, snow-covered highway, floored, doing 25 mph. Engine red lining, still no shift. So I figure either it blows or it shifts. (rental). It took about 15-20 miles to thaw out and shift. I began to think it would never shift. Just how hot does the tranny fluid have to get anyway? Unrelated, but the tires never thawed out. They took a "set" on the bottom from sitting on the ground. So, thump, thimp, thump down the highway. They were still deformed at the end of the next day when I turned the car in at Minneapolis a/p. Damn -40° is cold. I was never that cold even in northern Quebec Provence.
  3. PCM driver weak, harness broken or pinched, corrosion in connectors, phaser broken.

  5. Went through this with local dealer. Your dealer may have had some orange in stock. My dealer showed me a Ford memo stating they want all cars to go to new light green. (My dealer told me they are unable to even buy any old coolant, as its obsolete). They switched my 09 mkx with original gold over to the new stuff at last drain. Made certain they did a full chemical flush.
  6. Almost always caused by a poor ground when aftermarket amp/sub put in. Read this; https://www.12volt-travel.com/knowledgebase/engine-noise-in-car-stereo-speakers/
  7. Glad to see Ford stepped up and honored their commitment. What was the electrical issue?
  8. Yes! ... Yes, yes, yes. Put it back on. No one wants to look at your bare hoses. Oh, the mystery hiding behind the cover. The magic of not knowing. Exposed for all to see. I say not, niceonept. She has desended from a royal line of the House of Ford. Honor thy mother and cover thy loins. (Anyone else getting isolation crazies)?
  9. If you decide to buy, check eBay. This guy has one for $700 (ouch). Could offer him $600. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224328608493
  10. Don't know your mileage, but changing plugs at 90k is also critically important. One other fluid to change is the PTU (if equipped). Lucky son, great car. My first was a piece of junk Ford that I had to work and save up for. (Don’t get much for $200, lol).
  11. Think I'd try disconnecting the tow harness, reconnect the original connections and test. (Isolates the tow harness which can indeed by wired wrong.)
  12. Tire comparison, difference in speedometer. https://tiresize.com/calculator/ May be something in the F150 forum about how to set values using Forscan.
  13. Not familiar with 2017 edge reverse lamps. This advertised as works, would certainly be brighter. https://hidkitpros.com/shop/2007-2017-ford-edge-led-reverse-lights/
  14. How you drive can affect battery charging. Short trips don't allow the current drained from starting to fully recharge the battery. Do you usually drive only a few miles when using the car?
  15. If the dealer never done one, tell them that on gen one cars, other Ford dealers just pump it out using the same equipment as for the rear axle. 1/2 hour labor + fluid.
  16. For reference my local Ford dealer charges approx $80 for the PTU and $60 for the rear axle. (2009 MKX)
  17. Couple of ideas. 1. Is the SD card OEM? Cloned cards don't work properly as they are encrypted with a special key that the system can read, but prevents cloning them. 2. Other easy fix that was talked about, was a loose connector on the SD card socket.
  18. Something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Lincoln-Sync-3-Screen-Brackets-Recessed-Edge-/303580252603?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
  19. Yo, welcome, from north central Indiana.
