Had the same problem couple of years ago. In mine, only one fan was working. Ford changed the fan assembly and worked fine since. Normally its the fan assembly that failed (very common) but you stated both fans are running. As the a/c works ok when under way, this limits the problem to the fans not working. (Is it possible that the fans were working when you checked but fail while you are driving? Fan controllers can be finicky).

Couple of suggestions. Others reported wind noise traced it to the panels under the car (drivers snd passengers sides). These panels are held on with push pins that sometimes come loose or fall out. This allows the panels to extend into the air flow causing wind noise. Quick check under the car will verify. Another place to check is the trim piece on the drivers mirror. If the piece is out of place, it creates a gap and wind noise.

What did the garage find?

For my radar detector I used a mirror tap harness. Simply plugs into the back of your mirror and powers on with the ignition. Literally takes minutes to install. Google Mirrortap. Can't recommend the Chineese brands. Cheaply made and wired wrong.

When I read this I was a little surprised as most involved in the industry will refuse, or at least inform you that a 35% tint on the windshield and front windows is illegal. (In all states). I know what you mean about these geniuses who convert their headlights and throw all kinds of glare. I've had to slap on my sunglasses (at night) a couple of times.

One other thing I'd check is the conditions on the battery cables (esp the ground chassis connection) and harness connectors from thd alternator. Look for looseness or corrosion.

Never have too much chrome ?

"Sorry, the product is currently out of stock."

Page 142 in the owners manual : • Unlock the doors using a key. If you use this method the system will not disarm, but you will have an opportunity to disarm the vehicle once entered. See the Note following. Note: If the driver’s door is unlocked with a key, a chime will sound when you open the door and the message center will display TO STOP ALARM START VEHICLE. When this occurs, you will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the actions above, otherwise the alarm will trigger. IE, get in and start the car.

Motorcraft parts on Ebay are Chineese fakes. (Why do you think they are do cheap)? Buy at your own risk.

One possibility is the water pump has failed. There is a weap hole on the top, right (viewed from the drivers seat) of the engine. Should the inner water pump gasket fail (there's an inner and outer), the coolant is forced out through the weap hole so that it can be detected. 1. Check your oil. If it looks brownish and milkly, coolant is leaking into the oil sump and this will damage tbe bearings and journals. (Watered down, can't lubricate properly). Best to have the car towed to the dealer rather than subject the engine to more damage. 2. If the oil is ok, and you can see coolant leaking from the weap hole, the first set of gaskets have failed. Top off and drive to dealer (no high speed maneauvers). In either case the fix is to replace the water pump. (Quickly). Plan of costs running somewhere in the vicinity of $1600. Here's a video by MACTFORDEDGE describing where the weap hole is located.

There's also a possibility that the problem concerns the wiring running to the coil. Connection may be corroded or burned.

Dito on the second.

My dealer did mine this last summer. He uses a machine that pumps the old fluid out through a hose (also pumps in fresh) through the fill plug. Uses the same machine pump to change the PTU. The pump is a professional unit designed for these type of maintenance areas. Big hunkerer. They didn't say how much it costs, but looked expensive. On my 09 MKX the recommended change interval is at 105k miles (for DANA units). Also at 3k miles if trailer towing above 70° F with speeds above 45 mph and not using non-synthetic fluid. Personally I feel all fluids should be changed at least by ~100k miles.

Did you check the mode door actuator ?

This video may help locate the actuator (not your car but close)

I read that you can reset the standard system by removing the hvac fuse for a few seconds. (I also feel that this appears to a mode door actuator problem, not a blend door.) There are two control positions for tbe center vents. One is for the instrument panels vents and center consul vents. The 2nd position sends the air out of the instrument panel vents, center consul vents, floor vents and rear floor vents. (Obviously the more vents open, the less air through each).

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

The interior lighting is controlled through the smart junction box in the 2009 and 2010. Don't think its changed in the 11. Does the sunvisors lights and door opener work?

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

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?
