Looking at the Infotainment website, they are offering a headunit replacment thst fits 2011 through 2014. So yes, should be the same radio. But theres more involvef than a simple head unit replacment. You could contact them and ask. They sell complete upgrade kits, 4" to 8" with nav. Sync 2 sells for $1699, Sync 3 sells for $1899. But those prices cover everything needed to upgrade, modules, cables, completely plug and play. https://www.infotainment.com/collections/all/2012-ford-edge

Motorcraft Wiper Blades
enigma-2 replied to normkol's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Dealer told me years ago that the blades that come with the car are special blades and not the ones you can buy from the dealership. He said (and this was years ago) that the blades Ford installed at the factory were Trico, top of the line. The Motorcraft replacments could be anything as they spec'ed and contracted with several blade mfgrs. (He got this from his area rep). As for me, I've had the same blades on for three years now. Wipe them with an alcohol wipe then spray them with 303 protectant. The alcohol wipe cleans off the dirt and road oil and the 303 protects the rubber from the UV of the sun. -
Great idea. Here's another idea. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KCRRPS8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_V9i2FbHXAZF93

This may help you to extend your range up to 1000 ft. Remote Start System - Extended Range | The Official Site for Ford Accessories -
There's no adjustment on the cable. Just replace it, simple process, pulls out from the cabin side. About $30 new online. Don't put off too long. Can snap.

What do you attribute the long life on the water pump on? Coolant and oil changes? What intervals?

OK. I changed the air in my tires from summer air to winter air, flushed the wiper fluid bottle and refilled with fresh fluid and dehydrated water. But i can't find the location of the blinker fluid bottle. I know it's located near the front end, thought it was near the washer bottle, but the darn bottle eludes me. (Left front turn signal is blinking on and off about once a second. Tried changing the bulb, but no joy). I know im supposed to flush it once a year, ok I'll admit I've been lax, haven't changed the fluid in a three years. (Had the Ford garage do it during oil changes). But thought id do it myself and save a couple of bucks. Bought a quart off Amazon for $13.95. Think this is the right stuff (or should I use synthetic, bought the low sodium stuff)?

Disable door keypad
enigma-2 replied to Polecatt's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
OK. Try this. 1. Turn the ignition to the off position. 2. Close all the doors. 3. Enter factory–set 5–digit entry code. 4. Press and hold the 3 • 4. While holding the 3 • 4, press and release the 7 • 8. While still holding the 3 • 4, press and release the 7 • 8 a second time. 5. Release the 3 • 4. You should receive a horn chirp to indicate that the system has been disabled - or - a chirp followed by a honk to indicate the system has been enabled. -
I was told by my local parts manager (Ford garage) that they are unable to cut the new keys. It requires a new type key machine that costs thousands. Only one locksmith in the county that had one and they have him cut all these new keys. While they do mark up, it's not all that much as the locksmith charges to recover the outlay of this special key machine and charges accordingly. (They charge more for the key blanks as well). At the time, about two-three years ago, I think they quoted $500.

Disable door keypad
enigma-2 replied to Polecatt's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
The code is burned into the body control module rom. I would think that it's possible to change this module and have it reprogrammed by a dealer. The question comes in if they're allowed to do this and would the factory be required to assign a new code. (?) Would be fairly expensive of course. I'd talk to your local Ford parts agent and have him talk with the local area rep. I see this "feature" as a potential liability. Every used car sold still have a former owner(s) who could potentially still have the factory code. PS, I wonder if she may be using her personal code, and not the factory code. Try 《deleting all old codes》 and reprogram with a new code. -

I had this happen on my 2009 MKX. Took it to the dealer and it turned out to be a vacuum hose on tbe back of the engine. Gas fumes were being drawn into the cabin air intake which is located in the engine compartment.

Hey Froggy372, you ever figure this out?

Ford Edge Towing Guide
enigma-2 replied to Edge Guide's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Looking over the various trim levels, it' appears to be related to engine ft.lb. ratings. With the 2.0L its 1,500 lbs. and 3,500 lbs. with the 3.5L. Looking at the Sport, the engine isn't rating for towing even though it has higher hp rating. -
Most likely cause is corrosion in the connection. I'd pull each and look to see which is corroded. Spray with electrical contacr cleaner. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_g4XPFbWVKGV57

I thought you were looking for the 307-584 - Compressor, 2-6 Spring (which is in the kit). Why not try writing the seller and see if he will measure the part and send you the dimensions? (Worth a try). You can buy a 303-1251 for $80 on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OTC-303-1251-Ford-Rotunda-Front-Seal-Installer-and-Guide/274423189259?epid=1126233196&hash=item3fe4e58f0b:g:EfoAAOSw1tVfB4V6

2019+ Fog Lights
enigma-2 replied to IcyFridge's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Fog lamps may actually work against you in this case. They do throw more light on the road, but its close to the car and down to the sides. The extra light will appear as more light to your pupils, causing them to close slightly. This affects down road vision. (The true purpose of fog lights are to be used in periods of low visibility, fog, rain snow and are designed to light the edge of the roadway. It's assumed that in inclimate weather you are traveling at a very low speed, say 10 mph, and need extra light to find the edge of the road.) -
Is this what your looking for? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373245823046

Just guessing but it sounds like it's the "Parking Brake"? Page 187 of OM (1st edition).
